"since changed to eero been working perfectly fine"
"I have a smart home w many devices, a PC on a cat6 Ethernet and a ps6 on a cat6 never a hiccup, never a delay."
"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. ... 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"

"I have had good experiences with the Eeros (6+) with MoCA backhaul. I've never had a loss of connection anywhere even once."
"I have two setups in different areas, one covers a massive fucking area because I have a field I mow that's about 20 acres and was able to set up a lot of point to point extension within that. ... At the spot I'm currently at I have about 2 acres covered and trying to push to 4."
"I have a tri-level home with 3 Eero units. ... I have the base unit next to my AT&T fiber gateway on the upper floor, one in a receptacle bracket in my dining room on the middle floor and one in my garage on the bottom floor at the opposite end of the dining room unit. ... I'm using wifi only to connect all three and have no gaps in coverage. ... I have wifi cameras on the front, back and each end of the house and one out on my storage shed about 75 feet from the house. ... I can walk anywhere on my property and have no less than 40 to 45% signal strength."

"it just works ... I’ve only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years"
"I replaced the system myself with a new set of 3 Eero 6+ routers and couldn't be happier. ... totally agree. I was amazed at how my connection problems just disappeared."
"has been crazy reliable. ... Have had eero since 2022 and haven't had a single failure"

"Having kids who run everywhere for wifi, eero is simply the best. ... Set it, forget it, and it's simplified my life."
"I'm usually terrible with networking related stuff, but this one was a breeze to setup."
"Now I have a different mesh network and it just works and I didn’t have to learn anything or do any troubleshooting."

"I have had good experiences with the Eeros (6+) with MoCA backhaul. I've never had a loss of connection anywhere even once."
"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”."
"Have 2 x Eero 6+ wired up through Ethernet backhaul and they cover my whole 4 bedroom house."

"Sometimes those APs get stuck in an orphaned state and require a physical reboot or even a reset and new set up."
"The more eeros the more problems. ... I did this myself I have 4 of them and it’s a mess. ... I’m now only running two of them and it’s much faster."
"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."

"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."
"Eero (but there's the fact that it's Amazon and has a semi-subscription model)"

"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."
403Olds 1.0I have 4 Eeros and all have Ethernet backhauls Recommended
Can you run an Ethernet backhaul to each floor? I have 6+ On 3 floors with backhaul. Very fast.
981cgts 1.0Amazon has the Eero 6+ at Black Friday prices now. I got the 3 pack for $195 a week ago at an early bird rate, which is same as today’s Black Friday price. I have a 2 story 2500 sq ft house and it does as advertised. It took care of every WiFi reach problem I had. I was in my neighbors garage across the street and still had a full signal on my phone!
Alternative_Hippo720 1.0I'd go with [Eero](https://productbible.com/product/amazon-eero-6-mesh-wifi-system). I'm usually terrible with networking related stuff, but this one was a breeze to setup.
arrecebx 1.0Eero 6+ or eero pro 7 if higher budget super easy for average consumer
AssUhTate 1.0Not too concerned with price, just been on the fence on switching to a ubiquiti eco system but I’ve been very pleased with the single 6+ I have now. For only a 100 bucks I’ll snag another 6+ and run an additional Ethernet to the back side of the house for it and see how that helps out before jumping ship.
bryeds78 1.0I'm using the eeroesh system. I have the eero 6+. There's newer versions now, and noticed multiple subnets. You can just buy one and setup a new one as an extender with no issue, or buy one with a network jack and use it as a wired extender. I don't have the eero 6 pro,but I still get nearly 959 or greater for download and 850+ for upload speeds on a 1gb line. On wifie purely it's in the 700 to 800 range. I am a computer person, I understand networking, I'm a solutions architect and know how to troubleshoot so many random things. The EERO system has been insanely easy to setup and has been crazy reliable. Have had eero since 2022 and haven't had a single failure
I use Eero, it's been an excellent mesh solution. Very reliable, easy to setup, easy to add nodes and manage the network. Personally, I can't recommend anything but Eero
You gotta pay to play... A cheap extender may provide some relief but they don't work well over time. Save some cash and buy eero 6+. Nearly plug & play. Use at least 2 of them, one to act as the router for the house, the other to extend it. They work well and are worth it. Google how to set it up and how to find the best placement.
Civil-Hawk2627 1.0Eero+ works great for me
danh_ptown 1.0Eero 6+ or newer (size it to your internet speed from the carrier). Eeros are simple and easy to use. They are not designed for tinkerers. If you want a router you can tweak, buy something different.
While this is a useful list, it does not compare each model to the speed of the internet connection. And it is misleading to consumers, assuming that is who you targeted it to, by posting on Reddit. This list is very biased to Wi-Fi standards and not the needs of individuals buying a router/mesh for their home. While carriers are offering faster and faster speeds, not everyone needs it! The vast majority of homes only need the slowest high-speed, but carriers are happy to push higher speeds to people who clearly do not need it! I manage Wi-Fi at 5 homes, including friends and family. In my personal home, I run a network supporting 2 living units, 6 bedrooms, multiple streaming TVs, up to 12 people at a given time, lots of Wi-Fi attached devices. And all of that works fine on a 3-node Eero 6+ with 400MB service. Since 6+ is good to 1GB service, it is more than fine for this network. Cost $300 for 3-nodes 7 Max is $1700 for 3-nodes! Pro is $700. Neither of those are affordable to most people.
dave_two_point_oh 1.0I would absolutely agree with you there, budget allowing. Currently I run two eero 6+ devices (going back in a few days; they belong to my ISP and I'm leaving their area) along with two eero Pro 6 devices (mine, purchased before I switched to my current ISP, which provided the 6+ eeros at no monthly charge). They've all been great devices to run. However, if I were buying today (whether for replacement or just supplementing), I would only look at the various eero 7 options. I probably should have mentioned that, even though it sounded like OP might be looking to spend less!
dtowngambler 1.0Did eero max 7 get released recently? The reason I am ask is because I have eero 6+ and my connection has been AWFUL as of lately
