good afternoon.
sorry for any rambling as not my area of expertise. tomorrow i have openreach installing a fibre cable to my house, we have at moment a copper cable going to a box on the inside.
im with talk talk and they have upgraded me to fibre package. so far so good.
at the moment the modem plugs into the bt socket and because most of the house has internet cables running to tvs /my computer etc we have 2 cat cables connected to the modem/router and another cable daisy chained to a netgear gs208 router, with 4 cables in.

problem ...i hope im missing something here but a parcel arrived today with my brand new eero 6 and a grandstream digital voice interface (voip).
now if i have this correct openreach socket connects to eero 6 , then the grandstream interface connects to the eero 6 the other connector on the voip connects to the phone adapter for my existing dect phone.

problem ...where do i connect the labgear too??
soory about the length of the post cant seem to get my head around this and dont want to find tomorrow with no internet to my computer. do i have to buy another adapter or do openreach supply something when they install.

cant get anysense out of talk talk one minute the equipment is coming to us then last week apparently the openreach guy was suppling it all and doing the setup etc....now the package has arrived.
i cant imagine the openreach guy wanting to set my internet up, or probably having the time.

any help folks please.
 
ok now well confused now being told eero 6 is just a router so do open reach supply the modem or do i have to buy one?
 
excellent thank you, one query if i may you say the gs 208 is a switch ,cant i just connect that to the eero then connect the grandstream to the gs208 or am i missing something if i need that tp i will order it no probs.
basically i can cut the number of cables down to 3 or 4 anyway.
