Technically yes, but you won't be able to connect the VoIP adapter given the number of ethernet ports already in use. You can easily buy an ethernet switch for the eero to extend the number of ports.

"Is the eero any good" is a good question! It depends, like most routers. But it is designed to be used as part of a mesh system, so you may need more than one. That is something you can discuss with TalkTalk going forwards.

As for VoIP, well, I have it and it works. Maintaining my previous landline number. Although I barely use it to be honest.
