"Have rock solid eero pros. ... 30 wifi devices. 10 ethernet devices. And 40 lutrons hardwired."
"I have over 80 devices connected with no issues."
"I'm not doing any crazy high performance network stuff, but I'm usually streaming 2 or 3 4K devices, running the whole Sonos system across the house, and working or gaming on 2 or 3 computers simultaneously with zero issues."

"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."
"To swap over my network I just ripped out the XE75 setup and set up the Eero with the exact same SSID name. Boom - every single thing in my house was up and running and I didn't have to reposition anything. It probably took me 10 minutes."

"I live in a 3 story solid brick home with separate garage. I have 5x eero 6e some wired, some wireless. ... Eero mesh is brilliant and super reliable."
"With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck. I replaced the whole system with a single Eero 6E and made no changes to my ISP/modem etc and now get 800mbps downloads on a 5ghz or 6ghz device with no loss of coverage in my home."
"Eero mesh system, with 2.4 in compatibility mode. Works 100% of the time for me."

"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."
"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”."
"I went from 3x 6e pro to 2x 7 pro. The new setup is substantially better and I’m getting nearly hardwired speeds (I have 1gb down 40mb up) upstairs with my gateway downstairs and using wireless backhaul."

"My eero has been most for the last week. ... I'm getting gbe to the things but lucky to get 100mbps to devices (where I expect 300 or better). ... Nothing I can do to troubleshoot."
"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."
"Sometimes those APs get stuck in an orphaned state and require a physical reboot or even a reset and new set up."

"I don't like having features paywalled behind a subscription."
"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."

"so my iphone 16 and macbook air m3 which both support 6ghz would only use 5ghz with this? ... so it doesnt support the 6ghz band that my MacBook and iPhone use? would it just use the normal old 5ghz band? ... No 6ghz... No thanks. My macs and iphones are all wifi 6 ... no 6ghz band which the latest iphone and macs use ... Nope. Especially if you have devices that use the 6ghz band on the 6e. ... No 6ghz band is whack.. ... so if i have the pro 6E right now which has support for 6ghz for my MacBook and iPhone, the new eero 7 wont support the ghz band? so would my devices just use 5ghz? I'm confused ... lol hell na ill stay with my pro 6e then, I have wifi 6 devices, not wifi 7 devices"
"But whatever you do, stay away from the Eero 7 (base). That device seems like a waste. It's missing 6ghz."

"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)"
"I was amazed how bad the eero config options are. ... An ISP router is way more configurable."
"Avoid eero for the sole reason that you can't set the channel manually"
I had a single original Google WiFi puck in a 2 bedroom apartment and loved it. When I bought a house in 2020 i upgraded to the Nest WiFi, basically what you have in the screenshot there. I was able to use my Google WiFi puck as a mesh AP and I had 3 pucks in the whole house. I did NOT use wired backhaul setup as it was not feasible and the throughput was absolutely awful. For context, I have gigabit from my ISP. With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck. I replaced the whole system with a single Eero 6E and made no changes to my ISP/modem etc and now get 800mbps downloads on a 5ghz or 6ghz device with no loss of coverage in my home. In conclusion, switch to Eero or anything but Google. Google gave up on this product.
r/GoogleWiFi • Google Mesh WiFi 2020 - worth upgrading? ->Eero 6e with 3 nodes.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->Eero 6e I got for gig plan
r/Spectrum • Best mesh wifi equipment that works with Spectrum ->I went from 3x 6e pro to 2x 7 pro. The new setup is substantially better and I’m getting nearly hardwired speeds (I have 1gb down 40mb up) upstairs with my gateway downstairs and using wireless backhaul. Just my 2c.
r/amazoneero • Eero pro 6 vs eero Pro 7 ->I went with the Eero 6E. 3 units cover my whole house and yard without issue (2700 ft2). I've got probably 50 smart home connections all running without issue. I did add one 2.4 ghz network extender to reach an outdoor generator that I was having issues with but probably didn't even need to do that (we later found out there was a faulty wifi module in the generator that was causing it to drop). To swap over my network I just ripped out the XE75 setup and set up the Eero with the exact same SSID name. Boom - every single thing in my house was up and running and I didn't have to reposition anything. It probably took me 10 minutes. I've been super happy with the switch. I'm not doing any crazy high performance network stuff, but I'm usually streaming 2 or 3 4K devices, running the whole Sonos system across the house, and working or gaming on 2 or 3 computers simultaneously with zero issues. Prior to my XE75 I had a Netgear Orbi setup (the original) and had more problems with that than I do with the Eero ... but nothing was as bad as the XE75. And the nice thing was I was unload the XE75 for 70% of what I paid via Facebook Marketplace.
r/TpLink • Please recommend some of the best mesh routers/APs for home. ->Hey thanks for your response! I’m using Eero Pro 6e’s. I know the iPhone 14 won’t be seeing anything over 600mbps, where I’m seeing my most frustrating numbers though is directly from a Gigabit TP Link switch off my initial Eero. Hard wired speeds from it don’t get above 600mbps. I seem to be doing fine directly off of my second eero if I plug my laptop directly into it.
r/TpLink • 2 wireless routers instead of deco mesh? ->Yeah I’ve been on the Eero sub asking there. But my main question here was basically if I could set up a network using 2 TP Link wireless routers hard wired basically as APs
r/TpLink • 2 wireless routers instead of deco mesh? ->Good point on direct line-of-sight. I think I realise that the hallway is the key here since there is unobstructed view from every room in the apartment to an imagined line running through the hallway. So I could move the router to the hallway just on the other side of the wall from where it is now (perhaps drilling a hole to run wires). Then additional APs could be placed on the same line running through the hallway, so they would all be in good range of each other. I am thinking that I could start with just two APs in the hallway like that - and then could add another two on the small diagonal walls at both extremes if two aren't enough. How does that sound? Am leaning towards a pair of Eero 6e as I don't need wifi 7, and can find them for fairly cheap. As they would be placed in the hallway, they also have to be fairly discreet. If I go with UniFi I imagine the best solution would be a router in the location shown above and then two APs in the hallway - one wired and one wireless. But that would be a bigger and more expensive setup.
r/Ubiquiti • Is ubiquiti overkill for small home with concrete walls? ->Get the eero 6e or higher. Even if you buy cheaper brands, tplink, etc, make sure the unit is at least 6e. Don't waste your money on old technology... Wifi 7 been around a year already. Still pricey. But the eero 6 plus was great 3 generations ago.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the best budget mesh system? ->Eero for the remote accessibility.
r/HomeNetworking • What is a good mesh network to get for older people? ->I'm happy with my 6e's and not seeing a compelling upgrade unless I splurge for the 7 max's
r/amazoneero • Eero announces line of Wifi 7 products (eero 7 and Pro 7) ->For your use case and skill level I’d go with eero. Replace existing router with eero. Something like the Eero Pro 6e. Plug second eero into the line you ran for your pc, plug PC into spare port on eero. Now you have seamless WiFi on both floors. YMMV. Placement might not be perfect but you can fiddle with it.
r/HomeNetworking • Getting confused on home setup with router + switch + AP/mesh system? ->Eero can do a decent job if you are absolutely against wiring in access points. Just temper your expectations. The access points that are furthest away from the gateway will have slower speeds than the access points that are closer to the gateway. Your house’s type of construction will also play role in performance.
r/HomeNetworking • Which WiFi 6E Mesh WiFi from BestBuy can use 4-6 nodes? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
