eero Pro 7

I have 2G/2G Fiber Internet I just got this one and couldn't be happier. [https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-be82u/](https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-be82u/) 2.5Gb/s wired ports. 2025-down 2025-Up Wi-Fi 7 Ai Mesh 660-Down 550-up Image is Wi-Fi speeds https://preview.redd.it/zgxj64jglj4g1.png?width=376&format=png&auto=webp&s=0525de4f192c64b740602480a5a6ef0599527a07 Edit I forgot to mention I also have 2 eero Pro 7s that came with my service and must use a mobile phone for administration as there is no web admin, The ASUS RT-BE82U is much better, has a robust web admin interface. The eero stuff has good Wi-Fi, but no good wired support.

I just use ASUS Routers Ai Mesh 2.4GHZ/5GHZ Mult-ilink Operation. I have 2 82u, but the 86u seems to be more powerful. 1.

Each has 2 ports. I use 1 to run 60ft wireless, then a PC is using the wired connection and getting 1000Mb/s. [https://eero.com/shop/eero-pro-7](https://eero.com/shop/eero-pro-7) . Just to note my caveat with eero is there is no web admin interface, only mobile app. Thats why I added the ASUS as the main network, and threw the eero stuff on as secondary bridge mesh. The ASUS router is the DNS. But you say Plaster and Lathe, that's not gonna be a great situation for Wi-Fi. 2.4GHZ will best bet for signal, but slow transfer speeds. 5GHZ might have issues with plaster and lathe walls. Too bad you don't have an attic, I usually just run through the attic Cat6 Plenum, and drop down through top plate. Works good for single story, and top story only as you have to drill through a second plate.

Hope someone is still reading this thread 😄. Just had Wire3 install a Pro 7 modem and router. I need to buy another router as an extender due to lots of lathe and plaster walls, and will connect via an existing Ethernet cable. Looking to buy a eero pro 6 or 6e to save money - the eero pro 7 routers are pricey. Will that work? Should I get 6 or 6e?

I’m using 4 Eero Pro 7s and they are great, much faster than my old Orbi RBR50s. A lot of people say, though, that if you’re going for the Pro 7s, you might as well go for the MAXs for a significant performance boost. I just couldn’t justify the cost.

Eero Pro 7 is WiFi 7

The Orbi 770/870 have great range but the buffer bloat is terrible. I returned mine and purchased an eero 7 Pro 3-pack. It’s been easy-sailing since then.

I’m pretty basic when it comes to tech stuff, I just didn’t want to pay ATT a monthly fee for a mesh wifi system. I have ATT gig fiber and yesterday set my BGW320 modem to pass through and turned off the WiFi antennas in it, then plugged in an Eero Pro 7 router to the blue 5 gig Ethernet port on the BGW. Setup via the Eero app took a few minutes and voila, WiFi up and running with Eero as the router. On the BGW I was getting around 90bps over WiFi when near the router on my iPhone 17, the Eero provides 1.2gigs. All WiFi devices I’ve tested have faster speeds using the Eero network. Bonus: I put an eero satellite near my Xbox series X and ran an Ethernet cable to the Xbox from it, my Xbox is now getting 900mbps steadily. I’m very happy with the eero system so far, adding satellites is super fast and easy. Functionality behind a paywall is disgusting, but for just a basic fast mesh system this is great.

I guess, but I’ve been happily using an orbi mesh system from almost ten years ago. Granted, the Eero pro 7 is so much faster, so much easier to setup and so much simpler to manage.

I just did this exact thing, I went with the Pro 7, the att gateway was giving me about 800mbps over WiFi at the base station, the eero gives me 1gig+ and 800 through the house via the nodes. Also you can put a node by a device (Xbox for me) and run an Ethernet from the node to the device and get close to or over 1 gig on the device. My Xbox was getting 350 via WiFi, gets 950+ via Ethernet from a node

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 ;-)

I'd go for two Pro 7s. That's what I run in our 2200 sq ft. home (ground floor and basement). Even with our gateway Pro 7 in the basement playroom we're averaging 700 Mbps with our 1 Gig service. No wifi 7 devices here yet but we've got 32 devices online with 2/3s of them being iOT devices. If I had to pick out my most favorite thing about the Pro 7s it would be the fact that our security cameras stopped pixilating and freezing once they replaced our Orbi 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.

Eero. At this point I think software is just as if not more important than hardware as long as we're comparing hardware apples to apples. Eero has a very very nice and easy to use app that satisfies most people's requirements in networking.

Heh I really wanted to like my ASUS BQ16 Pro, but ASUS couldn't repair or replace them (periodic dropouts for various IoT stuff, tech support couldn't fix over phone). Owned for six months, ASUS refunded my purchase price. Shocked, but I picked up a pair of Eero 7 Pro units for about half that price, been much better than my ASUS experience. YMMV. //shrug

Alrighty thank you for the help I'll keep an eye out come to tomorrow do you know what time prime day typically starts? I'm In the (GMT-4) time zone

Went ahead and got the eero pro 7 at the 18% off discount they arrived a few hours ago and they work perfect thank you for the recommendation

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.
