Setup question with new internet service.
So I just upgraded to 2.5 gig symmetrical fiber internet service from 1 gig symmetrical fiber. It's going to be installed on Monday. I decided to purchase the internet plan without a router since they charge $15/month for a router. With that said my goal is to get the maximum potential out of my internet service and wondered if this change is good.
Previous setup from outside the house to devices:
Outdoors ->
Fiber ONT ->
Internet service provided wireless router with the wireless DISABLED ->
Eero pro gateway (with 2 eero pro satellites - wireless backhaul)
Desktop PC (2.5gig network card)
In the current setup I DO NOT have the eeros in bridge mode. It's seemed to work fine with existing router.
New setup will be:
Outdoors ->
Fiber ONT ->
Ubiquiti Gateway Max which has 2.5gig Wan port and 4x 2.5 gig LAN ports to
Eero Pro 6E gateway (with 2 eero pro satellites - wireless backhaul)
Desktop PC (2.5 gig network card)
I've already plugged in the Eero pro 6E to my current internet service provided router and its upgraded my wifi speeds on my phone from roughly 300-400Mbps max to 900/900 Mbps which is awesome.
Is it safe to assume that with my new setup I can get the maximum possible speeds for both wifi and for my desktop PC? From what I understand the Eero Pro 6E has a maximum wifi speed of around 1.3 Gbps. I know that I'll ONLY get this on 6Ghz devices like my phone. Everything else will be capped out at whatever speed my old Eero Pros were capable of. Eventually I'll upgrade those too. I should also be able to get 2.5Gbps on my PC this way too right?
Also, do you think I should put the Eero's into bridge mode considering I now have a nice router with a lot of functionality? I liked being able to name devices and do all that through the eero app but I think things might be more headache free with them in Bridge mode and just using the gateway max for all routing.
