"it just works ... I’ve only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years"
"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 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+."

"Eero has probably the best mesh products on the market today. ... It's a solid performer and designed for the person that isn't tech-savvy and does not want to tinker with the network."

We bought an Eero system (one primary, two “beacons”) when we bought our house and signed up with NextLight in 2018. We had some problems in the spring, so we upgraded our Eeros to two Eero 7 Pros. They’re great. Most devices are 2x faster just by swapping out our system. Eero is dead-simple to set up and there’s just about zero management.
r/Longmont • NextLight Router ->What generation of Eero? I had the 1st gen system for several years and never had any issues with it. I updated because of how outdated it was. I also went Deco with the most recent set and I'm very happy with it.
r/homeowners • No Ethernet ports, what to do for wired internet? ->What generation of Eero? I had the 1st gen system for several years and never had any issues with it. I updated because of how outdated it was. I also went Deco with the most recent set and I'm very happy with it.
r/homeowners • No Ethernet ports, what to do for wired internet? ->I have a multi story home too. I would recommend trying to do some cabling if you can. With that said we've had great Eero performance for years. Started with the first gens, have some 6th gen now with a mix of wireless mesh and cable back haul.
r/nbn • Router recommendation with future proofing ->i got my first eero with superloop a few years ago and bought 2 more to fit in the house i was renting at the time. immediately loved it and wont ever go back to a non-mesh setup, and have used it everywhere since (moved to a few more different houses since then) i had to leave one at my mums so i went on fb marketplace and bought an eero6 for pretty cheap, and works extremely well with the 1st gen node i have. recommended it to my friends and they seem happy with it. i’d recommend checking out fb marketplace or amazon for older gen’s as they still work really well
r/bapcsalesaustralia • What WiFi router & setup? ->If you have to wireless mesh, eero is really good in my experience. Setup is painless and it just works, I’ve only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years. As others mentioned, if you can do wired backhaul then that’d be ideal.
r/HomeNetworking • Which WiFi 6E Mesh WiFi from BestBuy can use 4-6 nodes? ->Yeah, I wish this was made clearer. And you’re sort of stuck if you can’t upgrade your router. EERO has a router that’s bundled with the Ring security system, so it’s all literally one piece of hardware so I can’t get rid of my router without ditching the security system that otherwise works great for me. It’s really kept me from playing because I don’t know if it’ll be a “good” or “bad” router day.
r/PlaystationPortal • What is your honest opinion/hot take on PS Portal? The good and the bad. ->Eero is pretty good. it has both 2.4 and 5 ghz. mesh networking, with ethernet backhaul, so you get super strong signal everywhere. including the bathrooms lol. easy to set up as seen here [https://youtu.be/ooGnTxTXmRg](https://youtu.be/ooGnTxTXmRg)
r/HomeNetworking • Best mesh WiFi system for a large house with dead zones and multiple floors? ->Eero is pretty good. it has both 2.4 and 5 ghz. mesh networking so you get super strong signal everywhere. including the bathrooms lol. easy to set up as seen here [https://youtu.be/ooGnTxTXmRg](https://youtu.be/ooGnTxTXmRg) basically you need ethernet backhaul as mentioned
r/HomeNetworking • Need advice: best way to improve Wi-Fi in a 3-story concrete house ->A mesh network would be ideal for this layout. You only need 2 pods, one plugged into router (and disable its built-in wifi), and another at the laptop corner to cover your whole flat. You can also hardwire the TV into it if you stream high-resolution content often for more stable connection. Amazon’s ‘eero’ products are simple to use and reliable. Often on deep discount during sale periods.
r/HomeNetworking • Router in bedroom – poor WiFi in living room. Tried repeater, still bad. Best solution? ->I think it’s overkill. Eeros have been pretty solid. I bet if you just wired the nodes together it would be fine.
r/Ubiquiti • Any recommendations for a basic router & wifi setup for grandparents house ->Here's the advice you asked for: Go with Eero for your router. It fits what you need, reliable and will handle your networking needs, even as your network grows. It's pricey, but all these routers that cover your use case (and work reliably) will be. There are a few different models and options, so I would evaluate what fits your exact needs (do you want backhaul? Etc). Here's the unsolicited advice: You shouldn't be planning for your smart home to be gaining 50+ WiFi devices. If you are, it's extremely likely you're building it in a suboptimal way. Devices that use mesh protocols (Thread/Zigbee/Zwave) should be making up the bulk of your devices. You're going to run into more networking pains in the future if you keep just throwing tons of WiFi devices into the mix. Obviously this is pretty generic advice and comes with a lot of assumptions based on what you posted, but generally, you really don't want to be planning out your smart home to be primarily WiFi devices. Anyway, just my two cents. Take that for what it's worth
