I’m in a 1200 square foot townhome. I got one Eero 6 in my bedroom upstairs but in the living room downstairs I was getting around half the speeds. So I got another one for the living room.
I recently had issues with my Eero 6's having not working correctly with my work VPN. Seems to have been client steering. Not a big deal, but just addressing that like most things, they're not perfect in every situation.
I second the Eero! I picked up the Eero 6 a while back and honestly 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. Coverage has been solid, no more fighting for WiFi in the basement.
Yeah, it was wild how simple it was. I kept waiting for something to go wrong but it just… didn’t! 😂 Even the firmware updates are all automatic, I barely have to think about it. I used to mess with those old WiFi extenders and man, they were such a pain compared to this.
Yes get a mesh system. I was in the same boat as you at one point, waiting for fibre to be installed. I was on similar speeds but the supplied ISP router was crap, so I got an eero wifi 6 system and it worked great. All my devices worked flawlessly with it. Personally I’d aim for WiFi 6e as a minimum but there’s nothing wrong with wifi 6 if you don’t want to spend a bit more. Definitely buy on prime day and hey, if you don’t like it, send back within 30 days but I’m sure you wont go back to the isp supplied router.
It will work well for you, especially if you want whole home coverage. A 2 pack was enough for a 3 bed property. I’ve got fiber now and I’ve upgraded to a WiFi 7 system (netgear orbi) which is much more better but like I said the eero 6 will be fine for you and your needs, might even be able to get one 2nd hand off eBay.
Eero is a router it’s a mesh WiFi 6 system that replaces your existing WiFi it’s especially beneficial when your trying to expand your WiFi coverage in your space that’s what mesh systems do
spectrum provided routers are hot garbage buy a mesh wifi system do not buy an extender - they never work well moca/powerline adapters only sometimes work, often not worth the effort mesh wifi systems work well eero, deco, both work fine. There are other various brands, pick whatever has a good black friday sale and high reviews. you buy 2 or 3 of them in a kit as you get a discount for buying more you remove the spectrum wifi router 1 mesh unit plugs in where the spectrum router was the other mesh units use wifi, it's simple On the ps5 you could also try connecting to 2.4ghz if 5ghz is not stable. eero 6 3 pack is 140$ on sale right now on amazon tp deco 6 3 pack is 132$ on sale right now on amazon
