No problem enjoy your new network!
Some tips:
Set them up one by one powering them on as the app tells you too. Also do not connect them to Ethernet (except for the main/parent node that’s the first one you set up) until after the mesh network is completed. Once they are all connected you can connect them to Ethernet doesn’t matter if it’s through switches or whatever because the Velop recognizes the link you want and will adjust for backhaul.

About 95% of the issues people have with mesh systems is trying to turn them all on and connect them all the Ethernet right off the bat and that causes a network loop which not only degrades performance but it also will piss you off with nodes “not available” or “not connecting”.
