Best answer
There is a very minor chance of some form of hardware conflict with the new router, but with the same ssid and password 99% of the time you're in the clear.

nah, unless you really downgraded you'll be fine. Most routers these days can handle the bitrate ring needs very easily.

mesh can have some benefits depending on your doorbell location, and router location. I'm a firm believer in most people don't need a mesh system, but it depends heavily on your layout. Sounds like in your case it helped you out. I enjoy the features of the high end routers too much to give them up!

there was one adjustment they had me do but can’t remember what it was at the moment. Call eero support and tell them you use ring and they will help you set it. It takes a few days for them to get work out and learn and then it’s smooth sailing.

Nothing. I put in the router and two beacons. The shed camera keeps on hitting the farthest beacon where there is one just 5 ft away

Yep, reconnect to WiFi. It will ask if it has changed. Even if you kept same name(SSID) and password. Say yes, it has changed.
