Hey all, just curious if running

ONT > Gateway > Unmanaged Switch > Wiring to rest of house >

Switch in living room for PS5, Apple TV, and Receiver

Switch in office for multiple computers

Is an issue? I run 3 Eero Pro 6Es all with ethernet backhaul but I’ve heard back and forth if running more than one switch, even unmanaged, is an issue or not.

Thanks!
