eero Pro 6 AX4200

Nice guide, and it validates my budget-driven choice to run a Pro 7 gateway and Pro 6 mesh.

I use Eero mesh, a mix of 6 and 6 Pro nodes from a few years ago. My home is about 1600 sq ft, with 5 nodes because the walls seem to be WiFi-resistant. Network is reliable and easy to manage* No network issues on AVP. *2.4 GHz-only IoT devices can be a pain to set up because Eero doesn’t offer a separate dedicated 2.4 network

Yes just out of the box. We had one of the original google mesh networks and just outgrew it. I bought a 3 pack of the eero pro 6s and it has no trouble with three HomePods and four Apple TVs, ipads, and some cameras. Reaches all corners of our house and even the garage and most of the yard.

Get a Eero 3 pack and call it done

Avoid unify. You have parents evidently aren’t technically savvy and having them do anything with this when you’re not there will be a nightmare. The TP Link Decos you’ve suggested will be fine, or even a three pack Eero would suffice. You likely won’t even need a poe switch (unless you’re thinking about security cameras or similar down the track) as most routers will have three or four ports anyway that you can patch directly to your wall sockets and then mesh wifi units. Just get a cheap $125 tp link router from Officeworks and a deco bundle.

Just get your own and don't pay to rent a router. Just buy a 3 pack of Eero's. Easy Peasy.

I just installed my first Eero Pro6 E network last week and am super stoked about the customer cost and still being able to make a profit, the insanely good tech support ( not sure if the consumer line is as good), and the ease of installation.

I did something similar but across a further distance with a 3 pack of eero pro 6 mesh units. You can get the 3 pack for about $200 off eBay.. but yeah Ethernet cable the other person mentioned is the best option or a point to point bridge system..

I have a multi story home too. I would recommend trying to do some cabling if you can. With that said we've had great Eero performance for years. Started with the first gens, have some 6th gen now with a mix of wireless mesh and cable back haul.

i got my first eero with superloop a few years ago and bought 2 more to fit in the house i was renting at the time. immediately loved it and wont ever go back to a non-mesh setup, and have used it everywhere since (moved to a few more different houses since then) i had to leave one at my mums so i went on fb marketplace and bought an eero6 for pretty cheap, and works extremely well with the 1st gen node i have. recommended it to my friends and they seem happy with it. i’d recommend checking out fb marketplace or amazon for older gen’s as they still work really well
