"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."
"perfect for gaming, streaming, and working without annoying dropouts"
"Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s."

"2000sq ft split level, but I got it with 3 bases and particularly for the Ethernet back haul as I have one unit in a shed about 75 ft from my house that I ran Ethernet to. (Shed is a converted game space for tabletop gaming)."
"Became FANTASTIC once I strung some ethernet cables among four of them including the one serving as a router in strategic locations (our house is rather large and some walls contain metal lathe). ... We now always have excellent connectivity and fast roaming."
"i noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! ... Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless!"

"In a 6000 sq ft house I’ve just helped with it has 6 access points and has a perfect full signal everywhere you go."
"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."
"mesh, no cables and it works great on a pretty big house with another router 100m away. ... I have the main router, one repeater on flat 1, another on flat 2, one in the garage, and another in the shed"

"I have 30 devices connected, most dormant, but still hold 130mbps+ for each on a 500mb ISP. ... I stream all TV and WFH without issues."
"Eeros are rock solid ... It’s like night and day. ... just how reliable and well performing the Eero’s were."
"75+ devices on my home network. ... Happy with Eero 6. Zero issues.."

"I can put it up by myself in less than 5 minutes."
"Goes up super fast"
"the whole setup process was almost… suspiciously easy lol ... The app basically walks you through everything and even my not-so-techy partner figured it out when I wasn’t home ... it was wild how simple it was. I kept waiting for something to go wrong but it just… didn’t!"

"I returned mine because it was very minimally configurable. ... It wouldn't even let me set it up without internet access, and I wanted to use it in an offline lab. ... That said, it's probably fine for regular users if you have no intention of ever digging into things."
"UI wise? the thing sucks. ... there's just so many basic things you can't do. ... for starters, all the administration has to be done from a mobile app. ... the web based "admin" page just has some basic diagnostics and no ability to configure anything."
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."

"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."
"Sometimes those APs get stuck in an orphaned state and require a physical reboot or even a reset and new set up."
"The mesh can be unreliable. ... After a disconnect it can a long time to reconnect."

"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."

"And some features are blocked behind a paywall like for example going to a list of which devices consume more data on a day and so on."
"Amazon does seem to have some subscription based functions in the router firmware 99.99/year for eero+ features such as VPN, content controls, user management, etc. ... I typically won’t buy products that want you to pay a subscription to make full use of the hardware already purchased."
"constant upsell for features that I believe should be standard"

"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."

"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? ->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 ->Has anyone used Deco or Asus mesh system? It seems that they are much cheaper than eeor and have a much better spec on paper than similar eero mesh system. It seems that eero is by far the most popular mesh system for home (ubiquiti is more for business). Any reason behind this? Is eero mesh more reliable and robust? I have eero 6 mesh sytems at home, and I think the performance is just ok/mediocre, and want to upgrade it, thus looking into a better system. To be fair, eero mesh was relatively reliable to me, only disconnect/slow down a couple of times in the past 2 years, but I'm also only get 1/3 of the speed on the mesh too. Edit: Does eero know that I’m considering to replace them? I did not have any problem before, but suddenly my iPad will not connect to the nearest euro, but to the farthest the weakest eero so weird, and no matter what I do, it will not connect to the proper eero, but I don’t have this problem with any other device devices… now eero becomes annoying
r/HomeNetworking • Has anyone used Deco or Asus system? ->That is one thing I don't like eero, only has two ports, and one has to be reserved from the isp. I have 4 eeros, so I have to use a switch
r/HomeNetworking • Has anyone used Deco or Asus system? ->I have one router and 3 nodes. They are all eero 6. all of the eero 6 was only geting 100 mbps... I think the placement is relatively centered though. I may try to have a tri-band mesh system, before I run the ethernet cables though.
r/HomeNetworking • Has anyone used Deco or Asus system? ->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 ->Amazon eero have been great for me
r/Wyze • Replaced Google WiFi mesh with Wyze 6e Pro ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
