Hello friends, My parents are relocating and will construct the house from the ground up, so I've convinced them to install Ethernet wiring. They already have a Google Wi-Fi system at their current location, and (as much as I tried) I can't set up an Ubiquiti network because they're quite unfamiliar with technology and I prefer to limit support calls. Would it be possible to hardwire the existing pucks for improved speeds? The configuration would look like this: Modem ----- Main Puck ----- Unmanaged Switch ----- Puck 2 ----- Puck 3. Any guidance on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Performance gains might be minimal, relying on node connection quality during wireless setup. Delay would certainly decrease. That setup should function properly. As long as child nodes use the same subnet as the main node, Google WiFi will adjust them once wired is connected. Edited February 23, 2021 by PorkishPig Typo
