eero (Amazon) - eero Pro 6

a little confused .. the eero pro 6 is a wireless router, the pw7 cox is a modem router. in your case, u have fiber coming into the ont and output is a rj45 port? u are sure you have an ont and not onr? the eero pro 6 has 1gbps ports, the pw7 according to specs is 2.5gbps port. is your gaming machine also 2.5gb port or better? if its 1gbps port, u probably wont see much diff. when u connect your gaming machine to the eero pro 6 by lan, did u also disable the wifi on your gaming rig?

u probably done what you can and confirmed that the eero pro 6 is not giving u the performance u wanted. in my area, eero is not a preferred make, tplink and asus are. since your board has 2,5gbps, u should but a new router with 2.5gb port. at least you have 2.5gb lan.

The Eero eco system is pretty rock solid. I had an Eero 6E Pro with a 6 Pro doing mesh on a 1250sq ft apartment and never had an issue. I recently upgraded to a Dream Router 7 because I wanted to separate the IoT devices and have a network running on a VPN and it's been great. Eero is great but somewhat limited which is why I upgraded to the UDR7.

The Amazon Eero 6 Pro or better is my pick for a set-and-forget device that you can extend over time.

I “upgraded” from Eero 6 Pro to the EERO 7 Pro, don’t ask me why. I now have to manually add common web sites to the “approved” list and that is a pain in the ass! “Customer support” is a joke and hasn’t helped changing whatever needs to be changed to stop the annoying need to add sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would say Yes. I work in telecommunications providing 1gb services w/eero and our boss lived out of network with a 15mb dsl service that he hated. He took one of our Eero Pro 6 home and hooked it up and he noticed a significant improvement in his network reliability. The eero pro 6 really has good network management with multiple devices with the wifi 6 tech over wifi 5.

I’m using Eero Pro 6 with a wired backhaul and it’s pretty good. While it works well wirelessly too, in fact I previously had one wired with 3 wireless satellites . You’ll get a much stable connection with wired backhaul . You can go with other Eero models depending on speed . I chose the 6 for its smart home capabilities .

I do live in Pakistan , and never had an issue. And support is pretty fast only needed it once a year ago . As someone who’s been using it since three years ago, starting with the older mesh models , i can say they’re literally the best I’ve used , TP link mesh is not even on the same level , they’re cheap and simply can’t work like eero

Well BIFL is tough for tech. I’ve been using eero pro 6 and an extender in another room. Zero complaints. Had it for about 4 years. Thru Amazon. They offer a bunch of add on services that may or may not interest you, but I just use the routers

My farm is fairly spread out, my storage barn which has my office in it and my Starlink/T-Mobile home internet systems setup. I use Eero pro 6. I have 6 units all 30-50 feet from each other spreading out in a sort of Large circle covering 450-500 feet the T-Mobile home internet systems setup is the main use internet since it gets 750+ down and 50 up if the tower goes down then the eero fails over automatically to the Starlink until the t-mobile regains signal. (3 years and going and only see the tower go down once.) But each mesh can hard wire directly to PC’s, TV’s whatever you got that needs a Ethernet connection.

You do need to exchange your router at Spectrum for a cable modem only. (The Spectrum routers have the modem built in). Dependent upon your agreement with Spectrum you may save $5 a month by going to the modem unit only. Then as far as the routers go, I would agree with getting 2 eero units. My suggestion is to pick up a couple of new Pro 6 units if you can find them through eBay. The two will cost you less than a 7, and you will get great performance that will be noticeably better. I've got two Pro 6 units and service with Spectrum and have no regrets in making the change.

I do Network installs for corporate as well as residential. I usually do UniFi installs but the Eero 6 Pros have surprised me with their high quality Antennas and easy to manage system. It is very limited when you get into advanced networking (VLANs, etc.), but the speeds, stability and reliability have exceeded all of my expectations. Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s. Highly recommended as long as you understand the limitations.
