GS305P Amber Left light
Why is any port using an ethernet cable linked to 2 other eero routers in series have an amber left light above the port while the ethernet cable to just one eero router have a green left light above the port? No right lights on for any port since no use of PoE. The one eero router from the green lit port gives 500 Mbps while the 2 serial eero routers only gives 90 Mbps
Try swapping them around and try swapping cables. I've had a cat 6 cable with a bad connector on it.

Have you checked the cable/cables? Make sure all the cables are cat 5e or >.
Try replacing them.
Also check the erro. maybe one has a bad ethernet port causing a 100mbps connection.
According to the manual, that switch's leds are supposed to be green or yellow. Not amber. Not sure why you're getting amber.
yellow tends to indicate a 10/100mbps connection and not gigabit.
