Eero WiFi

I have ATT 300 Mps service and added an eero mesh 3 unit extender to get stronger signals in far areas of the house. Worked great until recently when I noticed the slowdown. I thought it was ATT so I called and we verified that we're getting 400+ Out of their modem.
I tried resetting both several times to no avail.
When I disconnect the eero, it get 300+...
Thoughts?

How are you getting 300+ without a router (Eero)? Are you hardwired into the modem? Any wireless router, especially a mesh router, will prioritize stability and distance over Mbps. They also do an excellent job of dynamically adding bandwidth when needed. So you may have a situation where you are getting 60-80 Mbps in one area of your house, but it is a stable connection and anything on top of that isn't needed. You may be in a unique situation where you need 300-400 Mbps all the time, and the only sure way you can accomplish this is by being hardwired to the router (or modem).
Also, make sure your modem doesn't have a wireless router built into it. If so, disable or replace it with a "modem-only" modem. You could be splitting the bandwidth, or maybe even contributing to interference by having two sources pumping out a wifi signal.

If you are entirely wireless on the mesh extenders, one person pulling tons of data from their extender limits the throughput on the router it is connected to for everyone else (called backhaul.)
Plug the extenders into Cat5 jacks (most of them support wired backhaul, which generally means you get at least 40% more bandwidth).

That may be the problem....
It's a single unit ATT MODEM/Wifi to which I added the mesh via a cat5 plug from the output.
I suspect that they are both running...

Do you have a BGW320 gateway?
