Nest Wifi Router

100% I never had an issue with my original Google Wi-Fi or Nest Pro when using a wired backhaul.

You're internet speed has nothing to do with your PCVR connection. PCVR is purely reliant on local network variables. An easy fix is to get another router, plug it into your computers Ethernet port, give it its own SSID, and use that as a PCVR dedicated network. I currently use a nest pro for this,

That thing you're calling a "splitter" is a TP-Link brand 8 port switch. It looks to be a model TL-SG108 which is an unmanaged gigabit switch, which does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet). Assuming Port #1 is connected to your Router, then other devices (not requiring PoE) could be connected to

I have a TP/Link mesh system but they are now on the banned list. I'd recommend the Google Nest WiFi. You can get a three-pack for about $160. They have good instructions and support.

For an opposing POV, I have 2 of the older Google Wi-Fi (GJ2CQ) and 2 of the slightly newer Nest Wi-Fi (H2D) and they've been working nearly flawlessly for years. The only times I've had issues with them is when the ISP goes out. In which case I simply need to wait for the ISP to come back up and th

I use Switchbot roller shades, Switchbot sensors (for temp and humidity), as well as their blind tilts and button pushers. Kasa smart switches, Hue lights, and a Nest Learning Thermostat with an Aprilaire whole house humidifier slaved to it for wintertime. Love them all. I automate each brand via it

That might explain my Nest Wifi router and AP doing better about staying in Wired mode. I have them connected via a MOCA backhaul, but they would constantly change from Wired to Wireless with no obvious reason. Possibly a temporary interruption in my service from my ISP or a temporary blip in the po

I bought a Google Nest WiFi pair in 2018. The second unit kept going offline. Took it all out and got a better single router. Then last year discovered coverage issues and thought Google might have better firmware by now. This time, I consulted Gemini on how to factory reset and start over. Turns ou

The three options you describe will work but personally I would upgrade from the original Google WiFi mesh since this is quite old tech with WiFi 5 instead of 6. There's quite a jump there so the Nest Pro or Hyperoptic's mini hub should offer an improvement in speed and network stability. I use Eero

Also made switch from Google WiFi Mesh (pre-Nest branding) to Deco and have had no issues.
