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.
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.

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
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.
