Cat5e with eero WiFi

Hello 

I have Cat5e cabled and linked to my Sky hub via a 10 port switcher. The rest of the house is cabled to individual ports connecting to SkyQ and 4 mini boxes. This resolved the intermittent problems I was experiencing.

The SkyQ 2Tb and four minis have both 2.4 and 5ghz switched off.
All boxes now work with no nagging blue screens.

This leaves the WiFi to sort out. It too is giving problems around the sky mesh.

I have decided to invest in an eero 6+ replacing Skys WiFi.

Is it a matter of plugging in eero to Sky hub and disabling WiFi in the Sky hub?

This would mean a new wireless network around our home.

Has anyone had any experience on how to do this?

 Thanks

Yes just switch off your Sky hub's WiFi and use the Eero. Just note that if you use the Eero in router mode you will be subject to double NAT which can affect things like gaming, VOIP & port forwarding
