Network Topology
Can anyone comment on the topology below and advise if this is doable? I am looking to run my backhaul in a star topology though a switch and also use that same switch for both the WAN and LAN connections from the FIrewalla (running in router mode) to the cable modem and EERO device. I am assuming that one of the four EERO's would be the Master in the Mesh. Any thoughts on this?

Hi, it looks like you are trying to let both Firewalla WAN and LAN connect to the same unmanaged switch, and it will cause a network loop. Is there a specific reason for this design?
If you want to use Firewalla as your main router, the best would be ISP modem -> [WAN] Firewalla (router mode) [LAN] -> Unmanaged switch/Eero/other devices. Check out Recommended configurations for more details.
There are different ways to connect Eero nodes to Firewalla, you can read more in this guide: eero.
