"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 does a great job of providing a product that just works without ever really needing to touch it. ... I've had meshing issues with all except for Eero."


"I'm usually terrible with networking related stuff, but this one was a breeze to setup."

"has been crazy reliable ... Have had eero since 2022 and haven't had a single failure"


"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"

"The difference just one unit from the setup was immensely better. ... In fact I think the mesh was a waste of money, just having better equipment will make a better difference. ... What I bought wasn’t even the best, but I can consistently get 500mbps through it."


"I ended up getting the eero mesh system and those work flawlessly"


"Since the speeds upstairs were not the best I ran a 150ft Ethernet cable along the ceiling into the office into a switch for my wife’s office setup (she was getting 100mbs speeds prior) then hooked the other eero mesh to the switch and now the upstairs gets 800mbs on WiFi."

"My only crit is that they make it hard to set static IP and port forwarding on your home network (not impossible, but the UI is clunky)"


"But eero doesn’t support things like VLANs and such, so if someone has hardwired their home, they may want something that gives more options."

"I did find the eero did have less speed than my netgear with identical locations and settings."

They do make a powerline with a pass through power so you could put that on the wall and run a powerstrip after it. But IME a 3node Eero will probably perform better for you.

I'd go with [Eero](https://productbible.com/product/amazon-eero-6-mesh-wifi-system). I'm usually terrible with networking related stuff, but this one was a breeze to setup.

Have a look at the Amazon Eero 6+ as it works very well on FTTP connections.

I've had really good luck with the Eero 6+ They aren't like an open source where you tinker but they work really really well

Most of my home clients I get them a Eero 6+ They are essentially idiot proof and while not as customizable as MicroTik the average Joe the Plumber types will do better with this that frogging around with settings they don't understand.

I'm using the eeroesh system. I have the eero 6+. There's newer versions now, and noticed multiple subnets. You can just buy one and setup a new one as an extender with no issue, or buy one with a network jack and use it as a wired extender. I don't have the eero 6 pro,but I still get nearly 959 or greater for download and 850+ for upload speeds on a 1gb line. On wifie purely it's in the 700 to 800 range. I am a computer person, I understand networking, I'm a solutions architect and know how to troubleshoot so many random things. The EERO system has been insanely easy to setup and has been crazy reliable. Have had eero since 2022 and haven't had a single failure

A simple eero 6+ system would be fine with like 2 nodes. You could easily run an Ethernet on your ceiling if you have hurricane proofed walls like I do to power your other WiFi

I'm interested to know what you went with? I am a recent AB (1000/40mbps)customer who purchased the Eero 6+ (that they sell) and can't get above 400mbps. I'm about to return it today, after many, many weeks of to and fro and testing. I can get 900mbps ethernet connected to NBN box but, even with the router plugged in to the box and me sitting right beside it (it's in the garage and not practical to sit out there to work), the best I get is 400mbps. Further away, with the additional mesh, it's only ever 200mbps.

I second this. Eero gets a lot of hate on reddit but i dont personally understand why. In my experience its been plug and play, set and forget, robust, solid, and fast. I have 3 different networks/locations with a total of 21 eero 6+s. No issues whatsoever, all my homekit, matter and thread devices work great. I also dont have the thread network issue others report. Mine creates a single thread network using my apple TBRs and my eeros. I can see it in HA and in eve app. I recommend it without reservation. I see a lot of discussion about setting network parameters on other systems that DO get more love like Unifi. I definitely dont get as much granular control with eero, but I also dont need it. Which is exactly what I want.

So what I did was get an Eero 6+ mesh and run it out the back of my Att modem. Since the speeds upstairs were not the best I ran a 150ft Ethernet cable along the ceiling into the office into a switch for my wife’s office setup (she was getting 100mbs speeds prior) then hooked the other eero mesh to the switch and now the upstairs gets 800mbs on WiFi. I thought about doing it to the living room but I was getting 7-800mbs on my streaming PC so I assume all devices hooked to that eero via the switch are good.

Last part of the response above is a pretty good thing to troubleshoot. I think just buying a decent WiFi equipment or one of the mesh ones will help. I am not sure how bad the internet provider’s equipment is, many of the new ones will negotiate for better less traffic frequencies. One of the other responses was about changing from 2.4ghz to 5ghz, many of the new ones do both and will negotiate whatever is best for your situation. I bought the Eero 6+ mesh setup after previously using Google’s mesh. The difference just one unit from the setup was immensely better. In fact I think the mesh was a waste of money, just having better equipment will make a better difference. What I bought wasn’t even the best, but I can consistently get 500mbps through it.
