How to bridge CR-1000A gateway to work with Eero Pro 6e Mesh 3 Pack System (with Internet/Phone/TV service)

Hello all...

I recently picked up a set of Eero 3-Pack Mesh routers to improve internet connectivity throughout the house and wanted to set it up with my existing Fios 1G connection.  I would like to use my new Eero routers as my main system for WiFi (all 3 of them are going to be hardwired) and for other features.  I was advised to install the Eero devices behind my existing Verizon CR-1000A gateway and create a double NAT, before putting the devices into Bridge Mode.  I currently have TV (with 1 set top box) and Internet, and Phone service with Verizon .  I was told that with the new CR-1000A gateway, all that I would need to do would be to DISABLE the 2.4Ghz/5Ghz/6Ghz WiFi radios and that should be good enough to get the gateway into "bridge mode".  Is that really all that needs to be done or do I need to change the IP Address Distribution from "DHCP" to "Disabled" and give the CR-1000A another IP such as 192.168.1.250 as well?  Anyone else have this similar setup up (especially with the CR-1000A) and running and if so, how did you do it?  Thanks in advance!
