"Eeros are HORRIBLE for customization. And I say that as an IT guy (you can see my own comment history, and I have a pair of Eero Pros)"
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."
"You want to be able to force a band for the backhaul. ... Google was constantly swapping to 2.4ghz as a BH so that alone will gimp your 5ghz fronthaul to 2.4ghz like speeds."

"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."
Accomplished_Value21 1.0I have 1gig service and with the eero pro 6 I was getting about 400meg to 500meg. Replaced with one eero 7 max and getting over 850 in some spots. I think the max 7 just has more throughput
barista_boy 1.0I have been using Eero 6 Pros since soon after they came out. They have worked flawlessly for me since then. I fix computers for a living and have installed those units in more than 100 homes with no issues! I now have to buy them on eBay as Eero has discontinued them. But they have the best range and seem to virtually bulletproof. I have never seen anything is so easy to install and works so well. Also, I can buy the units for about $50 each on eBay and resell them for $120-$160 each, plus my time at $160 an hour. And my customers are super happy!
BillionYrOldCarbon 1.0I have three pack in same size home using Eero 6 pro because I wanted coverage for my patio. Outstanding service but you can start with two and add another if needed.
Well that’s what we have wireless for. With good equipment and placement 99% of homes won’t need or care about all the technical details. My Eero system is my third generation and it is always faultless and able to handle whatever I’ve thrown at it no matter how many people are on it or what we’re doing. Never down and updates flawlessly.
Been using eero 6pro for years now never used hard wire backhaul.
Blackdogaudio 1.0Hoping a new pair of eero 7 Pros arriving this afternoon from Amazon see off my old RBK752 system after the RBS started having issues. I dusted off two eero 6 Pros I had in storage while waiting on the 7 Pros and I'm shocked at how good they are with the latest firmware. They support our 2K security cameras with zero pixilation now when scanning the yard in real time. My RBK752 didn't have the bandwidth to support that kind of stream.
If wifi speeds are far lower than you expect with three Max 7s, remove one of the Max 7s and retest speeds after a few minutes. I ran into this problem years ago trying to use three Pro 6s over two stories and 2200 sq feet. I removed one of the 6s and wifi speeds went through the roof again. I'm using two Pro 7s now in the same home and experiencing the best speeds and coverage ever. I'm quite happy now my Orbi 752 satellite decided to die three months ago which made me revisit eero ;-)
ceebills 1.0Eero 6 pro. 5 years no issue. Tons of Sonos speakers, home kit, home bridge to add in ring alarm products, 3 Apple TVs, Meross and govee. Seamless. Get the eero.
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!
DoodleDaddyy 1.0I currently have the pro 6 3-pack for my 3100 sqft home and have had ZERO issues with about 60 devices connected for the last 4-5 years. Moving to a new house 4100 sqft and looking at options for that house since my existing system will stay with the rental. I see "upgrade options" that give a solid discount. Usage we need is zoom calls (usually one person at a time max) some tv streaming and general internet usage with some cameras, smart home stuff, etc, nothing needed for heavy load streaming or gaming. Should I be ok with the 6+ or do I need to go to a pro model again?
dorv 1.0Eeros are designed for laymen. The network pros don’t like them because they’re less tweakable than what they want. I had an Eero Pro 6 on the second floor of a 2700 square foot house and it covered everything fantastically. I now have two nodes on a much smaller house because I’m a weirdo.
Agreed. I’m not the tech tinkerer that I used to be. I just want to plug in the things and let them work. I love my Eeros.
Englishmuffin1 1.0I knew I'd see downvotes as soon as anyone mentioned Eero! My 6 pros have been excellent. They were provided free by my previous ISP and I've been running them for 2+ years without problem.
FeistyFinder 1.0What standard is your router, as in wifi 5 or wifi 6 for example? My house struggled with a wifi 5 router and also with these devices plugged in, would still drop out of connection etc. I have an eero pro 6 now and it’s spot on for coverage etc. My echos are also capable of extending signals which possibly helps. There probably are better routers out there but just an example of my experiences.
