If the agent places the eruv within 2,000 cubits of the sender's current location (even though the sender's home is also within 2,000 cubits), which Shabbat rest does the sender acquire — the eruv's location or his home?
Synopsis
All authorities agree: when the agent successfully places the eruv within the sender's 2,000-cubit range, the sender acquires Shabbat rest at the eruv's location — not at his home — even though his home is also within range.

If a person's agent places the eruv more than 2,000 cubits from where the person is located at the onset of Shabbat (i.e., beyond the person's home), is the eruv valid?

If the person himself (not an agent) placed the eruv beyond his own 2,000-cubit range, does he retain his home's Shabbat rest or does he lose all Shabbat rest?
4 opinions across 3 eras
Does the reason the eruv fails (agent's negligence vs. sender's presumed intent) affect whether the Or Zarua authorities (Rav Achai Gaon, Rabbenu Shmuel b. Natronai) agree with Rashi?
