Still trying to work through this.

Can I:
1.Buy the ASUS RT-AC86U and hook it directly up to the Rogers CODA modem and in turn run the CODA into bridge mode.
2. Can I then hook up the 3 switches in the house to the LAN yellow ports of the RT-AC86U.
3. Then can I hook into 2 of those switches 2 RT-AC66U or 1 AC66U and 1 AC68U and run them in mesh mode with ethernet backhaul via the switches that are running into the LAN ports of the AC86U which is hooked into the ROgers modem in bridge mode?
4. Have the same SSID throughout the whole system and still have Asus ap control for the kiddos devices and hopefully once and for all have the Sonos issue sorted.

OR
1. AC-86U hooked up to Rogers CODA and run in bridge mode.
2. CAT 5 throughout the house where switches are hooked in. So, hook up an RT AC68U and AC66U to LAN ports on the back of the AC-86U and run them as Mesh nodes. Then could I hook up one switch to the AC68U and one switch to the AC66U?

Just not sure what order to make all of this work the best??

Anyone that could chime in would be great too!

Any 1 of the 4 port works.

i got the eero 3 pack from amazon and so far it has been working out pretty well. i get thorough coverage in a 2 story house, and the speed is maxed out for my internet plan (100 Mbps down 10 up). No buffering issues with streams and 2 adults working from home on VPN
