"Eero has probably the best mesh products on the market today. ... It's a solid performer and designed for the person that isn't tech-savvy and does not want to tinker with the network."

"I have a tri-level home with 3 Eero units. ... I'm using wifi only to connect all three and have no gaps in coverage. ... I can walk anywhere on my property and have no less than 40 to 45% signal strength."
"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 main eero pro 6 is in the living room meshing to an eero pro 6 in the garage which is probably around 75-90ft from it ... if the barn eero is connecting to the living room eero then that’s a good 100ft ... if the barn eero is connecting to the garage eero then that’s probably 125ft"

"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)"
"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"

"the eero routers have awful wifi signal. I can't even get 200mbps over 2 meters away"
MastodonFarm 0.2Nice guide, and it validates my budget-driven choice to run a Pro 7 gateway and Pro 6 mesh.
MECO_2019 0.2I 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
Theland16 0.2Yes 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.
Fit_Emu9768 0.1Get a Eero 3 pack and call it done
killxswitch 0.1I’m a 20+ year IT professional. I’ve installed and configured enterprise networks, I’ve been in freezing network closets at 4am troubleshooting, I’ve run CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 through floors and walls and ceilings and attics. I thankfully now at the most just make incremental FW changes to aid the business but I still have extreme Cobbler’s Syndrome. So I bought an Eero 3 pack for less than half the needed budget for a Ubiquiti setup. It took maybe an hour and most of that was unplugging old access points and fiddling with really long and tangled network cables. It’s fast, it’s stable, it’s easy, and it’s cheaper than the prosumer solutions I looked at. If home networking is a fun hobby for someone then that person will enjoy the complex stuff. But most people just want their internet to work well and otherwise not think about it.
NoBus7939 0.1Avoid 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.
Valuable-Dog490 0.1Just get your own and don't pay to rent a router. Just buy a 3 pack of Eero's. Easy Peasy.
mb-driver 0.1I 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.
rpmartinez 0.1I 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..
ThisMattreddit 0.1I 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.
