eero Pro 7

If you want a turn-key solution that doesn't get into the weeds, go with a [TP-Link XE75](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tp-link-deco-xe75-pro-axe5400-tri-band-wi-fi-6e-whole-home-mesh-system-3-pack-white/J39QK2QCVK/sku/6508223), [Eero 6E Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-6e-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-6e-system-3-pack-white/J39QV82L2X/sku/6495778) or [Eero 7 Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-7-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-7-system-3-pack-white/J39HW6RKK3). Hardwired is best no matter what you buy, but a tri-band mesh will be fine for most people. Don't get a dual band setup unless you're running ethernet to your nodes. Ubiquiti is the ultimate setup with a price tag to match and endless ways to tweak and break your setup if you're not IT knowledgeable. Consider hiring this out if you wouldn't be comfortable tweaking settings. For example, Apple Airplay does not work out of the box until you enable group rekey interval for wifi>security in the Ubiquiti console.

Just grabbed a eero Pro 7 with my Aussie Broadband plan

I have 2G/2G Fiber Internet I just got this one and couldn't be happier.

The eero stuff has good Wi-Fi, but no good wired support.

We went the overkill route for our 2200 sq ft 4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath house. We have a Eero Pro 7 downstairs in the living room serving as the gateway Eero. Upstairs we have two Eero Pro 7, and one Eero Pro (5?) in 3 of our 4 bedrooms. The two Eero Pro 7's are in our sons' rooms, so they can connect their computers to the Eero via ethernet. Downstairs at the back of the house, there is another Eero Pro that is hooked up in the family room predominantly to allow the wireless control of our swim spa in the backyard to connect to it. The Eero Pro 7 in the living room replaced an Eero Pro 6 that used to be used as our gateway Eero. FWIW, when we are driving to/from our house, the WiFi can connect when you are about 500 feet away from our house. Also, when we were using the Eero Pro 6 as our gateway, our top download speeds on the gateway connection to our cable modem hovered around 850 Mbps. Since switching to the Eero 7 Pro, our top download speeds are now around 1.26 Gbps.

We bought an Eero system (one primary, two “beacons”) when we bought our house and signed up with NextLight in 2018. We had some problems in the spring, so we upgraded our Eeros to two Eero 7 Pros. They’re great. Most devices are 2x faster just by swapping out our system. Eero is dead-simple to set up and there’s just about zero management.

If I were on your place, I do next setup: isp ont - eero 7 pro - network switch (2.5gb or 5gb) - Ethernet cable to two another 7 pro on each floor. In this case you will have reliable 1500-1700 mb speed on wireless clients on each floor

The Orbi 770/870 have great range but the buffer bloat is terrible. I returned mine and purchased an eero 7 Pro 3-pack. It’s been easy-sailing since then.

I’ve got an eero pro 7 with two 6e pros with wireless backhaul. I actually game on my pc connected via lan cable to the furthest wireless node and feels like it’s connected directly to the router as far as packet loss & jitter go. Reading any history of this sub almost makes it seems like a requirement to go wired backhaul but wireless has been exceptional for me for gaming concurrent with streaming 4K on 3 different tvs. Granted my gaming pc won’t max out my fiber connection in terms of MB/sec but the only drawback of that is waiting a few extra minutes on 100gb+ steam downloads. If it matters, here’s GeForce Now (notoriously sensitive) network test from the wireless backhaul https://i.imgur.com/1TRNSUf.jpeg Locally installed online games have seen <10ms ping so. Idk, if you don’t live in a crowded apartment building or microwave shop, wireless is sensible from my anecdotal experience. 👍

I would get the Pro 7. Better radios, better processor, better performance. Two of them should be sufficient unless your interior walls are plaster or stone.

Heh I really wanted to like my ASUS BQ16 Pro, but ASUS couldn't repair or replace them (periodic dropouts for various IoT stuff, tech support couldn't fix over phone). Owned for six months, ASUS refunded my purchase price. Shocked, but I picked up a pair of Eero 7 Pro units for about half that price, been much better than my ASUS experience. YMMV. //shrug
