"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."

"it just works ... I’ve only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years"
"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 ... I just ran another speed test upstairs and I'm getting the same as downstairs now around 500mbps so it's more consistent then what it was during the first setup"
"He hates on eero but those are the most stable routers out there ... Eero isn’t a geek device doesn’t matter when you can put them in bridge mode and have the most stable network out there WITH your pro use cases"

"I can now view live 2K feeds on our security cams without pixilation all while two other devices are streaming movies (the Orbi system it replaced couldn't handle that)."
"I just bought a two pack of eero 7 Pros and found it took three days before best channel assignment took place moving me from channel 36 to 100. The difference in speeds for all devices was incredible. I went from 300mbps to 680 (80 mbps over my Spectrum plan thanks to over provisioning)"
"Agreed, the final hardware version is excellent in performance. I even get the same wireless speeds as with the Max 7 (1600-1900 Mbps up and down) which is quite impressive."

"The eero 6 lineup will cap your hardwired eero-to-eero connection to 1Gbps; the eero 7 lineup supports 2.5Gbps (or even higher, if you go Pro or Max) between your hardwired eeros. ... But breaking the old 1Gbps limitation is a huge one when you're going to be running a wired backhaul."

"For us it was the number of devices on wifi. We generally get a 1 GB download speed but with kids and phones and tvs all on wifi, it slowed down."
"After 6 years of using it for all my security cameras and IoT it’s basically pointless to run CAT cable throughout a house in today’s world. ... I have 3 wireless cameras on my deck, 2 on my garage, one on my door, 2 inside my home. Including the other random 70 devices throughout my basement (movie room), office (2nd floor) in a 3500sqft home and have literally zero issues, from stream live security streams, streaming movies, gaming doesn’t matter"
"I have over 80 devices connected with no issues."

"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."
"there's no way to turn off automatic updates"

"But alas, the handover between the eero's was incredibly slow. ... If using them in their separate rooms, as 2 independent WiFi units, fine. But if having them as mesh, as previously mentioned, one needs to be upstream."
"there is a noticeable moment as I go down the stairs and switch APs when the connection drops. ... Plex playback (on the new app) pauses for a couple of seconds ... facetime calls drop for a second ... wifi icon on phone shows connection strength to AP 1 falling and then improving with AP 2."

"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"

"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."
6ixTek 1.0I 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. [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.

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.
ApplePuff123 1.0Hope 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?
Asch3nd 1.0I 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.
AstralElement 1.0I’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
BananaJoeAU 1.0The 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.
BinkyX 1.0I’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
Blackdogaudio 1.0I just bought a two pack of eero 7 Pros and found it took three days before best channel assignment took place moving me from channel 36 to 100. The difference in speeds for all devices was incredible. I went from 300mbps to 680 (80 mbps over my Spectrum plan thanks to over provisioning) and I can now view live 2K feeds on our security cams without pixilation all while two other devices are streaming movies (the Orbi system it replaced couldn't handle that). Definitely give it at least three days before judging performance.
Just noticed my 7 Pros changed channels for the second time this week (from 36 to 100 to 128). We live in a cluster home development and right now I'm seeing all bars showing on 31 nearby networks in our neighborhood. Looks like my eeros are getting the job done surpassing our speed plan even with all the surrounding RF noise.
Hoping 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 ;-)
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 ;-)
ChachMcGach 1.0Eero 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.
count-not-a-priest 1.0Heh 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
CrabbieMike 1.0Alrighty 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
