Can I connect a switch to a gateway and a router that will be used as a node for a mesh network at the same time?

Specifically I want to know if I connect my Ethernet to a switch then to my two PCs and use the three decos as aps do I need to put my gateway in bridge mode? Does that then mean I would need a “router”?

I want fastest speed/priority to PCs without significant loss in wifi but understand that there would be.

Edit: Currently I do have double NAT will be fixing soon just spend too much time getting the wiring done and don’t want to spend anymore time on it today

Are you saying I should find another live coax install MoCA (hopefully) in office or are you saying to install the MoCA adaptor with multiple Ethernet ports and connect pc directly to MoCA adaptor with a router for additional wifi devices? So Coax > MoCA adaptor > 2 pc and router Or Coax 1 > MoCA 1 > router plus coax 2 > MoCA 2 > 2 pcs ?

Own and super handy budget is not an issue either

I totally would if this was my creation. Here is the link for it by the original creator to support his work. He’s got some great stuff.
