Wondering why a bunch of my network infrastructure was weirdly slow and finally discovered that the cable to one of my switches had come loose on my router and the eero plugged into that switch had lapsed back into wireless backhaul and was happily routing everything else plugged into that switch via wireless instead but my wireless backhaul is absolute dogshit so everything sucked
