eero (Amazon) - eero 6 Dual-band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router

I also have a townhouse and Spectrum and recently got an Eero 6. I only get 400 megabits but speeds are better than with my old Netgear Router. Setting up in the app is so easy. Eero has another version called 6+ that can handle 1 gig. I don’t plan on upgrading to 1 gig unless Spectrum has an offer that’s too good to pass up. I have a laptop, TV and Air TV from Sling all in my bedroom and I had to buy a switch to plug them in.

I’ve used an Eero 6 for a couple years and am very happy with it. Ubiquiti is superior but I don’t have the needs to drop that kind of money to so it right and doing an AP would be difficult at best, impossible at worst.

I ran an Eero 6 with two nodes in a 2400 square foot house with no problems and great coverage.

I fall into two categories with wifi, Unifi and Eero. I've used both and they are both very solid. Budget Eero, have the cash then get Unifi. Your case, get Eero. I'm currently using Eero 6 on a gig connection and have zero desire to upgrade. What are you looking to improve? Unless you are doing device to device transfers you are not likely to see much of any change.

Unifi is the best if you can mount APs. I’ve used an eero 6 for a long time now and don’t have any complaints and highly recommend it.

I’ve had zero issue with my Eero 6 systems.

I recently had issues with my Eero 6's having not working correctly with my work VPN. Seems to have been client steering. Not a big deal, but just addressing that like most things, they're not perfect in every situation.

My current apartment setup is rather complicated/overkill for what it is and since I might be changing providers soon, I'm wondering how i can improve it in a way that I can take with me to a new apartment if needed. Basically, my apartment has a modem (that I don't pay monthly for), and I pay about 15$ a month to get 2x Eero 6 routers in an apartment (used to be 5, but I just realized I pay 15 now...). The way my setup is at the moment is: Internet comes into the "box" in the wall in the closet, it goes into the modem, which then outputs ethernet and goes in the first Eero 6 router, which sits inside the "box". Then, this Eero 6 outputs ethernet which is split and plugged into each ethernet slot for the rooms in the apartment. This gives ethernet everywhere (which is a must). The reason I have it setup that way is because splitting the output of the modem into 2 Eeros was just creating 2 separate networks. To summarize, this is the layout: **"Closet Internet Box":** Internet --> Modem --> Eero 6 --> Splitter --> Ethernet plug to each room. **Living Room:** Ethernet --> Eero 6 Now, the apartment is not large and these 2 Eeros are overkill and I rent them from my provider. They are amazing routers and get the job done, but one thing I always disliked about them is that they "auto" switch between wired and wireless backhaul sometimes and the speed absolutely tanks. So, I'm looking for a better solution here where I can have 2 wireless points, that are connected by a "forced" wired backhaul and is relatively future proof (1gbps down/up should be fine for me for the foreseeable future). Any suggestions?

I would go with eero 6 in your case, as easy an app setup as there could be.

Amazon has a EERO 6 on sale for $75 right now. Easy setup with an app and great area coverage. Put eero products in customers homes all the time. Work well [https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Amazon-eero-dual-band-extender/dp/B086P6PBWB/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=1XDYN6E5S6JXL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y4Ku69oNNmUh4qcqEQs\_ifodm05miN1QrZlg\_-YqR-A55iaewpZVgDqSgiH\_jtwcGcz2ZwJUCgegez8wc44Omak5IP2t40O9KKo4P7nPF4BBSDN4G\_a4C-3jZIOrtmQIrfO8lPhhtvYFexQIf83AmfHHWYGAAOHIHQN0lepe9y5aqefam\_Bq51HSsJcmaRLMyYsVNcBoo\_RpFgtInzye7xn0pdQ1TUdFbqdEuZ34bVk.\_MelEQggwneS85FMUaEubmuo5RAQgirKJX35R3hYUyQ&dib\_tag=se&keywords=eero%2B6&qid=1757567151&sprefix=eero%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-3&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Amazon-eero-dual-band-extender/dp/B086P6PBWB/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1XDYN6E5S6JXL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y4Ku69oNNmUh4qcqEQs_ifodm05miN1QrZlg_-YqR-A55iaewpZVgDqSgiH_jtwcGcz2ZwJUCgegez8wc44Omak5IP2t40O9KKo4P7nPF4BBSDN4G_a4C-3jZIOrtmQIrfO8lPhhtvYFexQIf83AmfHHWYGAAOHIHQN0lepe9y5aqefam_Bq51HSsJcmaRLMyYsVNcBoo_RpFgtInzye7xn0pdQ1TUdFbqdEuZ34bVk._MelEQggwneS85FMUaEubmuo5RAQgirKJX35R3hYUyQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=eero%2B6&qid=1757567151&sprefix=eero%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-3&th=1)

Here is my recommendation, get a the modem/router combo from your ISP it will more than likey be just fine for your needs as long as you get high enough speeds. Download speed is good, but upload speed is the important factor. The more upload you have the better you are going to be. You are going to connect hardwired so most of the time these combo units have 4 ports already on them. If you need to go beyond that and want to build a wifi mesh at a lower price I might suggest EERO as the first option. EERO is user friendly, easy to setup, solid connections, the app does everything you would need. There are a few others out there as well some less complex some more complex.

I have the Eero 6 and two extra nodes. Gives great coverage and speeds.

I use Eero from Amazon. Pick them up in a regular sale and they are cheap as chips. I have a hub in the lounge and one extender upstairs and recently stuck one outside to get a better signal from my cameras.

just get a 3 pack of eero 6 or 7. the first one acts as the router. if you can hook them all up via cat5/6 thats great. if not, these still work very well.

1100 is fairly small. 2 eero 6 units should work well. they also make an outdoor rated eero if u are have a spot to run cat 5/6 too

kind of a fast list you put together. eero 6 is still fantastic option for a larger 5ghz band if you dont have any new 6ghz devices. also, where is the 6e ?

just get another EERO. why TF would u want a wifi extender?

how big is the house. i like the modem, but would look at EERO mesh instead.

ive deployed 250+ EERO mesh set ups. They work flawlessly for a set it and forget it internet experience.

EERO mesh. /thread done.

I have an unwired router I’m using as a gate from the house. About 45’ away, all metal, and even with the door closed. Just a 6. It has worked so well in my home and shop. Highly impressed for a first time purchase and installation and beginning of my “smart home” journey. It has been flawless. Edit: Eero is super easy to get on the phone and ELI5 through any situation.

My ISP uses eero and works fantastic. Not knowing who your internet provider is or what type of service you have or what other routers you may have chosen, it's very hard to give you the right answer. [This would be great for most apartments](https://a.co/d/4l3XJrq).
