eero - eero Outdoor 7

Eero will give you what you need. Check out the new outdoor ap. Amazon always runs sales and deals on multiple units or kits. Easy app to setup, good tech support and they have given me very few issues over the last 5+ years. Easy to add additional APs if needed. No tech knowledge needed. I'm an installer and it's all i recommended since my first install. I have used Eero with ring,wyze and Amazon fire and alexa.

Are you getting hourly interruptions on the dot in gaming and Zoom calls and similar real-time activities? I was. Nothing fixed it. No matter what, I got a big lag and packet loss spike every 59-60 ish min on the dot even fully wired in from end to end. Worse on Satellite-connected Wi-Fi devices. [https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/1itakgy/orbi\_770\_intermittent\_packet\_loss/](https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/1itakgy/orbi_770_intermittent_packet_loss/) I gave up, went to Eero, they had massive firmware regressions and no way to roll back, then I switched everything to UniFi. No regrets. Even their Early Access releases are way more stable than anything from Netgear. And they iterate updates and fixes so quickly. It's impressive.

I switched to Eero 7 stuff, running 2x Eero Max 7 and 2x Eero Outdoor 7 in AP only mode w/ UniFi UCG-Fiber for my router/gw. No regrets. SO MUCH more stable than the Orbi 770 with its hourly lag/packet loss issues. The roaming is second to none. I've tested it thoroughly and I'm impressed. I know it seems basic, but it's stable and seamless. Performance is roughly on par with the Wi-Fi devices I have at least. I pull 1.3-1.5 Gbps on 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E, 2.2-2.3 Gbps on 5/6 GHz Wi-Fi 7 MLO, and somewhere between 900 and 1200 Mbps on 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6/6E (honestly not sure what that mode even is linking as standard wise, but that's on my outdoor APs). The wireless backhaul performance is not as strong but it's way more stable. I've got wired backhaul for my important segment anyway.

The Eero 7 pro for inside and then extend to outside with an eero 7 outside is optimized to be outside and covers about 15000 square feet.

I have an eero max 7 in my living room and an outdoor model on my roof. My entire 1.2 acre property has great WiFi.

I’m currently on 2x6E and 1outdoor 7 as we have a small ranch and the outdoor is for when we are out in the barn…I’ve been thinking about upgrading just curious why did go with Pro vs the Max? Based on paper spec I wasn’t sure if I’d see any improvement going to the Pro.

I'm not an expert in this but my experience with the Eero 7 has been pretty good. I believe one E7 will be better than multiple E6s. I have a larger home and went from 3 E6 units to 2 E7 units. I suspect that each extender impacts your overall bandwidth so fewer units is going to have better performance. I have 500M bandwidth. With 3 E6's, I was getting about 200M by the time the signal got from the basement (where the utilities come in) to the top floor ( my office). With 2 E7s, I'm getting 400M upstairs, so I'm a much happier camper. That said, these things are not cheap. I bought mine on Cyber Monday. If you can, wait for a sale.

My Google wifi got stuck at about 20-30 mbps on a 500 mbps connection. Tossed it and replaced with Eeros 7 and it's amazing! Easy to set up, awesome interface and fast! Only downside was having to use their app and create an account (feee), not a big deal to me.

I 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!

It should help a lot, if they're positioned right! If you keep the existing eero at one end of your home and put the new one at the other end, you won't get good results, though; just a heads up! Your additional eero needs to be placed in a spot where you still have strong WiFi or it'll be seriously hobbled. So space them out roughly equally if you can. But play around with it as needed. They might need to be closer together, depending on your situation (area, interior wall construction, other sources of interference, etc.). You might also consider going with an eero 7 device of some sort instead (as u/opticspipe said) if budget isn't a huge concern. Probably something you'll be glad you spent the extra money on down the road.

I just got a set of 6e's a couple of weeks ago. Should I return them and get the 7s?

I’m a bit conflicted. The 6e is triband and supports 6hz. The 7 does not. The 7 pro is out of budget so I’m not considering that. Do the improvements in WiFi 7 outweigh the lack of 6ghz band?

I was contemplating switching to pro 6e’s when I saw the email for the new 7’s at same price point, I have the ring/eero gateway with 3 eero pros (mostly due to trying to get coverage indoors and out), all are wired backhaul so I don’t care about the wireless backhaul as much, I am working on a way to put one in my shed using a solar setup to provide WiFi further on my 20 acre property but with only 50mb down/10 up I don’t know that I will see much benefit from upgrading my in house units to 2 pro 6e or the 7 nodes and putting one of the pros out in the shed enough to spend the money. When building the house I planned ubiquity until we found out spectrum lied about providing service to our house so didn’t run lines to ceiling for POE access points, until we get faster fiber options.
