6. One of the three nodes that came with my Eero system is configured as the

Gateway to my Local Area Network. All three Eero nodes have two ethernet ports. The node configured as the gateway has the Wide Area Network (WAN) port connected to the modem port. Often that modem is provided by your ISP.

The LAN side port would connect to your switch. And that switch would provide connectivity to your PC, a printer, Network Attached Storage, e.g.

And an ISP will often refer to your modem as your gateway router, because it does serve that function when no other router intervenes on your LAN.

But the main node of your Eero is now your LAN gateway, while the modem remains the gateway for the small network that exists between the Eero and the modem.

A gateway is essentially any LAN's exit to a wide area network or internet.
