Google Wifi mesh problems
Discussion
I'm having an absolute nightmare with my home wifi. I don't know what's happened with it, what status it's in or how to resolve it at all. Hoping someone can give me some pointers.

Talk Talk FTTP through wall
Goes to a EERO box, I guess that's a router?? don't know what it actually does.
The EERO is plugged into the first of 3 old style Google mesh boxes.
Box 1 input from EERO, output a ethernet cable to PC
Box 2 ethernet to a CCTV hard drive
Box 3 no cable but helps wifi at the back of the house.
After a bit of fiddling this morning I've found the FTTP is working. The EERO is working and if I use the single output port I can connect ethernet to my PC.
First issue - I can't see the EERO wifi on my PC list. It's def live as I can see and connect to it from my mobile. If I go in Network & Internet, Wifi, show available networks, it beings up a list but EERO is not there.
The PC is not showing EERO wifi but it showing all the old google speakers I have dotted around the house...but now with no 'Ryecroft' network, I'm not able to control them from say the Spotify app as I'm no longer on that network.
Second Issue. Despite the EERO ethernet cable def working the 3 google hubs are not connecting to internet. I've swapped cables, repowered, moved them all next to each other. The local network called 'Ryecroft' is there but no internet.
This reflects what was shown on phone and PC when connecting to Wifi. You could see Ryecroft but no internet was available.
I've since tried full factory reset of Google mesh. Not sure if it worked but all that has happened it they've now been deleted from the Google Home app where I could see what was happening before.
With power on, no cable, I can still see the Ryecroft network. If I disconnect the power, it disappears.
I'm at a total loss. Two main issues.
Can I add the EERO wifi to the PC vice cable (which) will then free up the single EERO LAN port.
Can I get these b
ding Google mesh things working or shall I smash them up with a hammer.
TIA.
