This is a problem with most mesh gear I've tested, but the ports are seriously limited on the Amazon eero 7, especially if you only use one. For the eero 7 router, you'll need to dedicate one of the auto-sensing Ethernet ports to your NBN connection box.

I picked the Deco BE25 here as it strikes a nice balance between price and performance, and it’s a Wi-Fi 7 router.
