I'll have to try this. I still have the migrated policy as well. I'm running ERA 6.2 and I have noticed the same behavior for many of my computers. I thought it was the dynamic task to run an in-depth scan with computers with active threats, but it kept triggering when I switched between wireless and ethernet. As recently as yesterday morning I had 5 scans start 60 seconds apart. This new ESET is almost as tiring as trying to deal with Windows 10 lack of patch information.

I'm running ERA 6.2 and I have noticed the same behavior for many of my computers. There is a dynamic task in the "client tasks" which will run an "in-depth with cleaning" scan on any computer that is placed in the group "computers with active threats". My Surface Pro 2 was the first and only ESET 6 Agent enabled computer while testing and I noticed that my laptop was running something idiotic like 5 scans a the same time. I'm very mobile as well so when I move from my docking station to wireless and then back, I noticed another scan started up. This is after it had finished the 5 previous scans... then a few more scans would start. I thought my laptop was also starting scans when unlocking so I tried turning down the "startup scan" settings (since you cannot turn OFF the startup scan). The dynamic scan for the group "computers with active threats" when computers are added to the group has some kind of flaw in ERA. If the computer does not clear the threats, then it starts another scan, then another, then another. I have a few machines that had 24 separate scans run in the course of 1 day. All because of the something like ASK TOOLBAR. They are not fast scans either of course and take up to 1hr each because they are "in-depth" Deleting this dynamic task will stop the multi-scanning... sort of. There is still times when I notice my laptop running 2 scans at the same time and I think it has to do with the startup scan or somehow thinking that my changing network connections is causing a scan to start. So now I have to check ERA every couple of days and run a manual "in-depth" scan on every computer in the list which has something benign like ASK which gets pushed alongside of Java updates. It's just ridiculous though. I can't figure out where all these scans are coming from.

Was this your solution? I had the same issue. When on the company network, the ERA server was available and the updates occurred normally, but when I was hotspot tethered to my phone, the updates failed with an error "server not found". I created the dual update profile as described in the link for ERA v6 and left the "Internet Update (no-proxy)" as the default profile instead of "My Profile" I set the scheduler "automatic updates" as "My Profile" first and "Internet Update (no-proxy)" second. I can confirm that a manual update will use the selected profile "Internet Update (no-proxy)" regardless of the network connected to it. I have not checked to see if the server is being used first for automatic updates, but I plan to monitor that.
