eero (Amazon) - eero 6+ mesh wifi system

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.

That router has 10/100 ports so you aren’t even getting your 500 to throw up to be honest you can get an Eero 6+ for like 80 bucks and it would be way better than what you’ve got now

Eero is also good and is on sale Amazon Prime day. I used Eero 6+ . I use Ethernet cables on computer, printer and TV. and also have Ethernet to each Eero access point. Ethernet not required but is best.

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.

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.

False. Eero and apple home hub devices can and do share the same Thread network, even if the eero propagates it. The 1.3 and 1.4 updates addressed this. All thats required is keychain credential sharing turned on. I have 9 eeros, 9 homepods and 5 apple tvs all on the same network, plus a HA OTBR and an Aqara border router. https://preview.redd.it/fg5rwlxu3j7g1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=880ba388d69aba24c03c915fcb5893bd6dab879a

I have read many similar complaints. But I never experienced them as I setup after 1.3 which apparently fixed it. Yes, iOS 26.x is on 1.3, several betas have been 1.4. Several of my other devices are 1.4. Think eero may be 1.4 now. It should work after turning on keychain syncing, probably will require restarting ALL of your TBRs (apple too) to get them to come together. That screenshot is from the open thread border router I run on home assistant. It gives a clean view of all networks and TBRs but not devices. Eve will show devices including routers but NOT border routers. I dont have a solution that lets me see both, or topology.

And of course make sure your eeros and home hubs are updated

Nah, its been working since 1.3.

Yeah I mean Im well aware its in the 1.4 spec. But both Apple and eero implemented credential sharing on 1.3. Ive had it working for 12 months 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah a good thread network monitor and visualization tool is sorely lacking. I know this information can be extracted through my OBTR and Ive tried to build a home assistant dashboard to see it, at least in table format but unsuccessfully.

While this is a useful list, it does not compare each model to the speed of the internet connection. And it is misleading to consumers, assuming that is who you targeted it to, by posting on Reddit. This list is very biased to Wi-Fi standards and not the needs of individuals buying a router/mesh for their home. While carriers are offering faster and faster speeds, not everyone needs it! The vast majority of homes only need the slowest high-speed, but carriers are happy to push higher speeds to people who clearly do not need it! I manage Wi-Fi at 5 homes, including friends and family. In my personal home, I run a network supporting 2 living units, 6 bedrooms, multiple streaming TVs, up to 12 people at a given time, lots of Wi-Fi attached devices. And all of that works fine on a 3-node Eero 6+ with 400MB service. Since 6+ is good to 1GB service, it is more than fine for this network. Cost $300 for 3-nodes 7 Max is $1700 for 3-nodes! Pro is $700. Neither of those are affordable to most people.
