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...

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.
