Would this setup be a good idea or would I be giving up performance of the Pro?įeel free to suggest an alternative topology.Ring Edge local video processing and storage Could I just connect the Ring Alarm Pro's Eero 6 to LAN1 and the Eero 6 Pro to LAN 2? In doing so making the Eero 6 the gateway and have a "bridge" to the Pro? Not sure if bridge is the right term. My modem has 2 LAN ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2). If only Ring had put an Eero Pro 6 router in the Ring Alarm Pro (it’s even in the name!), this would have been the perfect device, albeit a significantly more expensive one." This makes me sad, as I want all these things. This means I have to forgo local storage of Ring videos, 24/7 whole-home internet backup, and 30-plus hours of continuous power to keep my cameras, security system, heck, even Netflix online when the power goes out. That’s mainly because the Ring Alarm Pro has to be the gateway device for your home Wi-Fi, and for some setups (including my own), the included Eero 6 dual-band router is just not powerful enough. "If you already have a capable mesh Wi-Fi setup and a substantial number of smart home devices - this is not the hub for you. The problem is paraphrased well by this Verge article:

The Eero 6 is just not as good as the Eero 6 Pro yet Ring says the Ring Alarm Pro needs to have it's built in Eero 6 be the Internet gateway. Ring says the alarm needs it's built in Eero to be the Internet gateway: There is no cost savings on the Ring subscription, you still have to pay for the exact same subscription whether you're storing video local or to the cloud. Having the video local will make it faster and reduce my monthly data usage to the Internet (we have data caps with Cox). I would like to buy this alarm because 1) I need an alarm and 2) I'd like to take advantage of it's local video processing and storage for Ring devices (I have two of the Ring Flood Pros and a Ring Doorbell Pro 2).
