"if you decide to get the N5, pay for the Vantrue branded SD card. It’s certified to handle the speeds necessary to record 4 video streams at once. When I first got this dashcam, I tried several other high speed name brand cards (Samsung, SanDisk, etc), and they all had issues."
"Basically a set it up and leave it situation. Since our 12v plug ins are keyed to power we never have to touch it"
"it's a set and forget type thing. ... after months of ignoring it, I grabbed some vids as a check and it's still going strong."

"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"I have a primary and secondary mesh access points. The primary is in the house and the secondary is in another small building about 80ft away with no problems."
"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."

"Unifi provide the most stable wifi network for IoT of all the AP on the market, even with one VLAN, even in mesh configuration. ... I have +200 IoT devices in my home from Apple, Switchbot, Aqara, Logitech, Eufy, Hue, Govee, and numerous exotic brands. I have been through hell with solutions from Apple, Orbi, Peplink, Meraki, Eero, Huawei and many many more. And only since I am rocking on Unifi I can open my Apple Home app with not a single device error !"
"I have over 60 devices connected to it, and have ZERO issues."
"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s."
"I've had the system for about two and a half years and I can tell you it's been near flawless. Speeds are constant, almost no drops...ever!!"

"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+."
"Very easy to install you go into the app and add a node."
"They work flawlessly for a set it and forget it internet experience."

"The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."
"I lost 300$ on a50 gen 5,has worked maybe 10 hours totally ... and dock station froze and stayed in xbox mode after a regular software update... ... tried everything i could,believe me..."
"I get an hourly lag/packet loss spike that lasts 20-30 seconds on my 770 satellite even after segmenting or removing all other devices from my network other than my gaming box."

"Without Internet you cannot access the management of your network"
"some features are blocked behind a paywall like for example going to a list of which devices consume more data on a day and so on"
"It’s designed as an entry level unit that ISPs can buy dirt cheap and supply to customers, not really designed for a performant gateway on a network with demanding users."

"Amazon does seem to have some subscription based functions in the router firmware 99.99/year for eero+ features such as VPN, content controls, user management, etc. ... I typically won’t buy products that want you to pay a subscription to make full use of the hardware already purchased."

"Stay far away from routers with fans, I returned a tp-link wifi 7 router over this exact issue. ... Sfp port was so hot it was unreal. ... Try to cool your place in summer with air conditioning, you don't want some fan blowing heat. ... Also moving parts is a bad idea for longevity."
"my eero router connected to the ONT has overheated (i suspect) earlier today. The internet dropped on the eeros but I still was receiving service on the ONT and cox.com showed my network was still up. Upon touching the eero, I noticed it was pretty hot."

There really is no one Wifi router that will penetrate all walls and building materials and give you a giant bubble of Wifi. As far as signal strength goes, they are about the same. For the best experience on a budget and easy to set up, mesh is typically the go to, like Deco or Eero. Running a wire between the two or more for wired backhaul will make it even better better.
r/HomeNetworking • Router Recommendations for two story home? ->Mesh networking is the key. We have Sonic Fiber and Eero nodes around the house and it's awesome.
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->Yeah... the literal plug n play is worth a lot unless you're doing large data xfer for work or something. The second hand Eero repeaters are so cheap you can sprinkle them liberally too
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->Eero does 500mbps over WiFi, it’s hands down one of the best and easiest to manage. 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. Most people don’t need Gig network running throughout a house, it’s irrelevant Anyone saying don’t do mesh is honestly an idiot. Most probably live in an apartment or small house or just have know clue what you need vs what you want. 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 Zero reason to not have a mesh setup in 95% of setups… plan and simple Especially when you can do outdoor mesh setups with companies like Ubiquity but unless you need outdoor internet to throw it to a barn or something… most get the job done just fine, like eero
r/wifi • Home Wi-Fi recommendations ->On an android phone, you can download am app called WifiAnalyzer, it has a white wifi symbol and a green background. Itll tell you how many networks are in your area and should give an idea of if this is truly the wifi going out or just being talked over. Id also say to go into the routers gui and split the 2.4/5g bands and see if one gives better signal than the other, as most modern routers mesh them together via "smart connect" or similar language. A factory reset of the router is a last resort before simply buying a new one, as you don't really mechanically fix components in consumer routers anymore, they're too cheap. I like tp-links Archer series for a new simple router, and suggest Amazon's EERO if you want to get a meshed routing system for better coverage
r/techsupport • ASUS router RT-AX86U WiFi range dropped to about 3ft. ->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?
r/HomeNetworking • Eero vs PW7 Cox gateway for wired gaming ->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.
r/HomeNetworking • Eero vs PW7 Cox gateway for wired gaming ->Eero mesh with the outdoor unit on the main house probably.
r/HomeNetworking • Easiest way to extend WiFi to guest house?. ->Two people should be fine with the 300 plan. My house is roughly that size, and I have a 3-pack of Eero Pro mesh routers. I had the house wired for CAT6 when we had it built, so the Eeros are all using Ethernet for the backhaul channel.
r/Fios • Which Verizon FIOS Plan Is Best for Remote Work (and Gaming)? ->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.
r/HomeNetworking • Best WiFi Router for an 850 square foot apartment? ->Get eero or Tplink, you'll be fine. I went through 2 Google mesh systems and now leave them alone. BTW you don't need the wifi 7 or even 6E. Save some money unless you have Gigabit internet, then go crazy.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->We have a basic ASUS router with eero mesh, but in-office WiFi is still better. That’s one of the actual upsides of 3-4 day RTO.
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
