Firewalla Blue and a Eero Mesh router setup

I have 4 Eero Pro's connected using ethernet and 1 Eero Beacon. When I have the Blue Firewalla connected through a Netgear 1gig switch, the Eero router turns to wireless in the eero app. Why is this happening when it's connected hardwired? My Eero software is v3.18.0-950 on all of the eero's. My Firewalla Box is on version 1.965 (gfe5094e) I have also turned off all the monitoring in the Firewalla box. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

Phil

  What do you mean "Eero router turns to wireless in the eero app"?  What if you don't connect firewalla through the Netgear switch?

  I just uploaded a photo of my Eero configuration. I have to run the Firewalla through the switch because the Eero only has 2 ethernet ports.

  No, I'm wondering why the "Equipment Room" eero is showing a wireless connection when its connected by ethernet. When I disconnect the firewalla from the network the "Equipment Room" eero changes back to a ethernet connection which is the correct connection.

  Which version of firmware are you using?  We are using Eero Pro (two unit), with 3.18.  We didn't notice this problem ... but 3.18 has a new DHCP bug which drives our phone crazy.   We have not tested this behavior with 3.17
