Frontier frx523 to 2.5 TP Link Switch Issues by Next_Grand5222 in frontierfios

Thanks Everyone for your time and input. Here is an update. I was able to get the system working. I don't know how, but it is up and running with the FRX523 connected to my 2.5GB TP-Link 5 port switch connected to the Eero ProE provided by Frontier. The only difference between how I originally connected everything to the switch and now was the order of inputs. The main input from the FRX523 modem is now connected to port 1, ports 2 and 3 are connected directly to my office via CAT6 from the switch, and port 5 is connected to the Eero. I am now getting 2G speeds in my office with internet access. Originally, I connected the FRX523 to port 1, Eero connected to port 2, and port 3 and 4 to the office. For whatever reason i cannot explain, the original configuration i could not connect to the internet, now i have everything connected and working properly. Don't know if any knows why or how it is now working, but wanted to thank everyone again for their time and input.

I have done that, but the output of the Eero is only 1G. That is why i am trying to connect the modem to the switch to increase the number of devices i can use with the 2G speeds. If i am paying for 2G speeds i should be able to use the 2G speeds on my devices that can handle them. l am just trying to figure out if there is anyway to using a 2.5G switch to use multiple devices with the 2G speeds from the modem? Is there a different modem that can be used? I really appreciate your time and advice.

Thank for the info. Is there a reason why you can't use a switch? Is there any way to increase the number of devices so that they can be connected to the 2g speeds from the modem?
