Pro 6 Series

I’m so you think the eero 6e pro is a good choice? I have a few matter smart plugs and the new Apple TV that has thread and three HomePods and three minis, and two thread smart Schlage locks.

I went with the eero 6e pro. So far so good. Set up Was incredibly easy. But having a small issue setting up a couple smart devices. I got everything set up fairly simply. But I’m having trouble getting a smart plug with matter from Kasa hooked up to my HomeKit app as well as my Samsung sound bar. I’m figuring out I believe it has something to do with the smart plug and soundbar are on one band while my phone might be on the 6ghz band. Most of this stuff is over my head and I’m learning a lot as I go. I was wondering if you’ve come across something similar with your eero? I don’t know how to make so my phone can be on the same band as the devices. The smart plug and soundbar work fine in their native apps. And actually worked fine in Homekit with my old router. So it has to be something about the triband that my new eero network offers. Any of this make sense to you?

I've used both and honestly, I find the Eero to be faster and smoother and more consistent than when I had the Nest Wifi Pro 6E. I don't know if it's because my main router is the Max 7 but that's what I found. The other thing I really like is you can mix and match the Eero routers, unlike Google's where you have swap out the entire mesh if you ever wanted to upgrade to their future devices (if any). Makes for a much easier and cheaper transition. I'm a full Google ecosystem household with Android phones and nest hubs, but I still find my mesh network and all my smart devices, over 150 of them, run a lot smoother on the Eero network than on my previous Google network. In regards to Matter, since I have a Nest Hub Max and a Nest Hub Audio, they both support matter and is therefore able to add Matter devices even if it's missing from the Eero network.

Eero Pro 6E has 2 ports. One is 2.5Gbps and the second one is 1Gbps. I have my Eero Pro 6E backhaul connected using a MoCA 2.5G adapter to connect it right to my main router, which is the Max 7.

Ah, I see what you're saying. So if you have it setup as a wireless backhaul that can max out at a theoretical 1.3Gbps then even hardwiring a device to the 2.5Gbps port would still limit you just to the max limit of the wireless backhaul speed.

Are you using an eero Pro6E as your router? Your last sentence is confusing. If yes, then just add another eero and get better speeds. If no, then why are you not using an eero as your router?

I 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!

I 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.

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’ve had good results with 2 eero pro 6 nodes, both wired to Ethernet. House is 3100sq ft across 3 stories, both nodes are on opposite ends of the middle floor and coverage is great through the whole house I did set reserved IPs for my sonos speakers in the eero app so the IPs remain static. Not sure if it has helped at all but seems like if the IPs are refreshed sporadically it may take the system a few extra seconds to find those speakers etc
