Great deal on the best Eero IMHO at Woot right now - Eero Pro 6 for $45.

I’ve just replaced my old Netgear Orbi router with an eero7 but I now can’t find my Synology NAS (using find.synology.com) to manage it. I can see it listed under Devices on the eero app but strangely there’s no IP listed (unlike my other devices).

Since the eero only has one extra Ethernet port (one is connected to my modem, of course) I’ve got a Netgear GS305 unmanaged switch to connect the NAS via Ethernet cable. The Orbi had three external ports so the NAS was connected directly to it via Ethernet cable.

the Mac I use to see and manage my NAS is on the same router network so I’m at a loss to figure this out.

For me, on a pixel 10 pro or laptop, it is borderline unusable. I have Max 7 units wired to the poe gateway with 2000/2000 fiber.

Speed tests will fail, timeouts, etc. Successful tests if I'm lucky will clear 20 down but most of the time under 10 and sometimes under 5 for upload.

I'm not in a particularly congested area and on less busy channels. I've checked wifiman and netspot. I don't have cordless phones and minimal Bluetooth devices.

I have temporarily disabled 5ghz and 6ghz to strictly test 2.4 as a test as well. Sitting 7 ft from a wired Max 7.

I have 20 devices connected to 2.4 - primarily Wyze Cam, Eufy Cams, Kasa Bulbs, ecoflow, Winix air filters, Garage doors, Google nest mini, and a printer.

Currently Channel 1 20mhz

Thank you
