"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. ... These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"Having kids who run everywhere for wifi, eero is simply the best. ... Set it, forget it, and it's simplified my life."
"I think folks that have commented already missed the point that you're not tech-savvy and do not way to deal with complicated setup/ troubleshooting. ... I would recommend Eero. It's a solid performer and designed for the person that isn't tech-savvy and does not want to tinker with the network."

"I set up 6 of them and covered a 2 acre area including a 4 story house, a 4 car garage, another 2 story house, a 2800 sq foot barn and a tiny house."
"Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s."
"it just works ... I’ve only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years"

"I have personally sequentially upgraded EERO generations thrice no with nothing but outstanding results compared to my 'traditional' WiFi networks and have had personal knowledge of 3 other parties who became EERO fans real quick in our traditional American Homes - designed just a tad too spread out for effective non EERO WiFi."
"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."

"I’ve had the Pro 6’s for almost 4 years without a single issue and well over 60 client devices."
"For those who have gigabit home fiber like myself, the Pro 6 units are rock solid and have never experienced downtime while running a household of 6 users with over 50 devices."
"We typically have 15-20 devices actively connected and using data at a time and performance isn’t an issue."

"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)"
"If you like to tinker with your network settings, there aren’t many settings to play with. ... Still you will not have full access to configure the router the way you want to."

"And some features are blocked behind a paywall like for example going to a list of which devices consume more data on a day and so on."
"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."

"The deal break for me is the local network shuts down unless the eero can connect to the internet on startup. ... The router will not accept any local clients unless it phoned home to Amazon on startup"
"Without Internet you cannot access the management of your network , you can only access via phone app with account no IP or web page."

"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
amorde5 1.0Pro 6E might be overkill if you only have 500mb service. 6+ is only dual band. So the Regular Eero 6 Pro might be the sweet spot. Because it's discontinued, you'll likely buy it second hand at a discount. Just make sure it's not an ISP locked unit. Otherwise, if you're tech savvy, you can install OpenWrt on the TP routers and bypass their firmware.
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.
damianp67 1.0Using Eero for the past 8 years.
I love mine. Have had them since launch and replaced my older eero 6 pros. No regrets and been super stable for me.
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!
Defiant_Witness307 1.0I run 2 eero wifi 6 pros in a 7800sq ft house and works perfectly fine for me. I have a mini in my truck and imo the range on that isn’t that good.
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?
