New WiFi network Eero with beacon on stair between 3rd and 2nd floors, beacon on stair between 2nd and 1st floor, and hub on 1st floor cabled to modem: 57.3 Mbps down, 6.2 Mbps up

Hmm. I hadn't realized my old WiFi network had become quite that crappy.
FWIW, powerlines work like dog poo if they are not on the same circuit.

Also, any devices on the old networks when testing?

How many attached to new while testing?

Remember, WIFI operates at the speed of the slowest connected device so a fair test is if only one (the same) device is attached during testing.
