I have the Eero Pro 3 pack, and everything seems to be working great. But I'm looking for advice on bridge mode.

When I first set it up, I inadvertently set up 2 networks - the Eero Wifi network, and a wired network connected to my UVerse modem (I had meant to connect the wired network to the Eero as the instructions say). To it's credit, Eero detected this configuration, created a separate subnet and it worked perfectly. I didn't even realize it actually, until I set up a wired sonos speaker with wifi satellites. I had to put the main Sonos speaker on wifi for the surround to work. Right away I realized I must have wired the switch incorrectly... lol. I actually know this stuff- I can't believe I did that.

Anyway, I've got it set up now with one internal network, double NAT-ed to the UVerse modem. Everything is talking and a few other things that seemed strange, went back to normal.

Put this also means my entire netowork is routing through the Gateway Eero. Does it really have the horsepower for that? So I tried running a speed test from my laptop, on the 5Ghz wifi. It ran fine and I'm getting great speeds. BUT - it knocked out the TV while it ran. Clearly the Eero couldn't handle the TV traffic and the speed test traffic at the same time. When I had the wired network separate, it could seamlessly do both at the same time.

This suggests I don't want to route all the traffic through the Eero. But of course, I don't want two networks like I had- so the solution is to let my UVerse modem handle DHCP and NAT, and bridge the Eero gateway. Eero documentation talks about this, saying I'll lose some "advanced features" like family profiles. Yeah, don't need that.

Note; the main things I have wired are- my TV, my sound system, and all 3 Eeros.

I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with this, and general thoughts on this configuration.
