Bridge ethernet over WiFi with two eero devices

I have an outbuilding with low WiFi signal from my eero enabled house, I want to plug in a wired ethernet device in the outbuilding. Can I use an eero ethernet capable unit to connect my ethernet device to the WiFi mesh network?

    HI  Yes you can.  You will still need one eero hardwired to the internet/modem, but your other eero's (wirelessly connecting to the first) ethernet ports will work great for hardwiring your devices in.

      @Michael_eero_support I have one setup wired to my internet already, it works great. I just bought an additional eero pro, but It complains it can't get setup. Should I temporarily connect it wired first? Or maybe it is already working and I just need to connect my devices (I was trying the android app first).

       I would plug this new eero into power in the same room as your current gateway eero and then set it up via the eero app.  Once it is setup and it is showing the solid white LED, then move it where you want it to be.  It will still need to be within wireless range of the current gateway eero.
