"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"Eero does a great job of providing a product that just works without ever really needing to touch it. ... I've had meshing issues with all except for Eero."
"Set it and forget it solution that will give you gig wired and closest you can get over wifi. ... eero is set it and forget it and just works"

"I set up 6 of them and covered a 2 acre area including a 4 story house, a 4 car garage, another 2 story house, a 2800 sq foot barn and a tiny house."
"The added bonus is I can get coverage outside the house still within 30 ft. So that allows my Waze cameras and Waze lightbulbs to connect just fine as well. I even have a Waze camera inside my motorhome about 100ft away and it gets coverage."
"I have it on my small holding and have good coverage over 2.5 acres"

"Eeros are rock solid ... It’s like night and day. ... just how reliable and well performing the Eero’s were."
"is set it and forget it ... I have 6 systems installed that have had zero problems. Totally ended the calls about wifi"

"They also all support 802.11r/k/v for roaming and fast switching, regardless of wired/mesh uplink. These protocols make devices seamlessly switch APs as they move around, and without dropping connections. You can be on a video call and walk around without interruption."
"The ability to move throughout my house, jumping for AP to AP while having a video call is life changing."
"Recently switched to a UniFi system and no trouble at all with iPhone handoffs on their wifi7 APs. ... Best decision ever."

"I now have my Maine Eero attached to the utility modem. From the Eero I connect to a switch and ran Ethernet (outside) to each room that has another Eero switch. Each Eero is hardwired to main and provides WiFi in its “zone”."
"the Eero 3-pack at my house, and the 3-pack at my parent’s house works flawlessly, but we are using wired connections between all of the Eero devices instead of relying on them to link together wirelessly."
"I use Eero and plug my PS5 into one of the wireless nodes. Works fantastic."

"If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. ... using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc."

"But alas, the handover between the eero's was incredibly slow. ... If using them in their separate rooms, as 2 independent WiFi units, fine. But if having them as mesh, as previously mentioned, one needs to be upstream."
"The mesh can be unreliable. ... After a disconnect it can a long time to reconnect."
"I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected."

"The deal break for me is the local network shuts down unless the eero can connect to the internet on startup. ... The router will not accept any local clients unless it phoned home to Amazon on startup"
"Without Internet you cannot access the management of your network , you can only access via phone app with account no IP or web page."

"Eero is very greedy on trying to maximize its own performance at the expense of everything else. ... It works ok if there aren’t any other APs (ie neighbors) nearby, but it sucks ass if you live in dense housing."
"My eero has been most for the last week. ... I'm getting gbe to the things but lucky to get 100mbps to devices (where I expect 300 or better). ... Nothing I can do to troubleshoot."
"I got the eero 6, expensive 2 pack for $150 and it’s trash. It’s rated for up to 500mbps, and my Xbox which is about 10’ away from the extended, gets 70 mbps."
There really is no one Wifi router that will penetrate all walls and building materials and give you a giant bubble of Wifi. As far as signal strength goes, they are about the same. For the best experience on a budget and easy to set up, mesh is typically the go to, like Deco or Eero. Running a wire between the two or more for wired backhaul will make it even better better.
r/HomeNetworking • Router Recommendations for two story home? ->No reason to use an Archer if you want to use mesh anyway. Just use the Deco as your router as well for less devices, less cost, more streamlined. Deco or Eero are usually what I recommend for friends that want mesh.
r/HomeNetworking • Advice on getting a router + mesh system ->I have 4 Eeros and all have Ethernet backhauls Recommended
r/wifi • What mesh internet device would you suggest me to get so i can stream on twitch properly? ->Mesh networking is the key. We have Sonic Fiber and Eero nodes around the house and it's awesome.
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->Yeah... the literal plug n play is worth a lot unless you're doing large data xfer for work or something. The second hand Eero repeaters are so cheap you can sprinkle them liberally too
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->You are better off buying your own mesh network, Eero if you are don’t want to futz around, Ubiquity if you want to.
r/ATT • ATT All Fi Pro ->Spectrum has new mesh extenders coming out in a month or two. Outside of that, pods are usually fine. An eero mesh system would be my recommendation if you’re going to buy your own.
r/Spectrum • Pods/extenders/mesh - NEED HIGH SPEED ->Eero does 500mbps over WiFi, it’s hands down one of the best and easiest to manage. After 6 years of using it for all my security cameras and IoT it’s basically pointless to run CAT cable throughout a house in today’s world. Most people don’t need Gig network running throughout a house, it’s irrelevant Anyone saying don’t do mesh is honestly an idiot. Most probably live in an apartment or small house or just have know clue what you need vs what you want. I have 3 wireless cameras on my deck, 2 on my garage, one on my door, 2 inside my home. Including the other random 70 devices throughout my basement (movie room), office (2nd floor) in a 3500sqft home and have literally zero issues, from stream live security streams, streaming movies, gaming doesn’t matter Zero reason to not have a mesh setup in 95% of setups… plan and simple Especially when you can do outdoor mesh setups with companies like Ubiquity but unless you need outdoor internet to throw it to a barn or something… most get the job done just fine, like eero
r/wifi • Home Wi-Fi recommendations ->100% spend the $ to get it ethernet done to each wifi point. I am a big fan of Eero wifi units if going wireless or Google if going wired btw. Google wifi uses the 6e wifi as wireless backhaul witch seems to have issues over 2 floors
r/nbn • Mesh wifi 100/40 Superloop ->Eero is very greedy on trying to maximize its own performance at the expense of everything else. It works ok if there aren’t any other APs (ie neighbors) nearby, but it sucks ass if you live in dense housing.
r/HomeNetworking • Mesh system ->I’d forget about the Telstra part completely. You can plug the NTD directly into an Eero and then either use the other available ports to connect to the ports in the garage, or throw in a Netgear port switch between the Eero and the garage connection ports. Wire the rest as per your thoughts. You don’t need a modem with NBN NTD.
r/HomeNetworking • Australia double storey home - help required for best set up (wired / wireless mesh combo) ->Eero is a mesh wifi system. As you aren't gaming in the office, use an extra eero AP in between the laundry room and the office to get full house coverage
r/frisco • Help - Amazon Eero setup or dropping an Ethernet cable ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
