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 just tested out a handful of mesh systems, Eero6, TP Link XE 75 Pro and their BE63. All worked fine in our 3100 SF drywall and lumber home. But the apps or web gui were all dumbed down / simple. I settled on the ASUS BT10 two pack. Fast and crazy coverage. Great app and web gui IF you want to tweak settings.

Yes, updating to a meshed solution will ensure smooth roaming throughout your house. I like the Eeros for two reasons: 1. It’s set and forget. There is very good logic built into it to better manage your airspace. 2. It’s compatible with all other generations of Eeors. Find a dead spot? Get a cheap, used Eero five from Facebook marketplace. As others have said, use ethernet wiring where you can. Between nodes and to individual devices. The reason being a wireless device looses 50% of available bandwidth for each wireless hop it takes to your Verizon router. Would you notice it on your cell phone? Probably not. Running a media server or gaming platform, probably so.

Eero 5 is an example I used to highlight the use of nodes that are two generations old. Eero 7s are the current generation. Still way over priced in my opinion. You will be happy with any Eero 6s.

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.

Ubiquiti is likely out of your price range. I’ve used them in the past and their stuff is great. My current place doesn’t work with running a hard line for an access point so I’ve used an Eero six for a few years and really like it. If I was buying today Eero is the way I’d go.

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.
