eero (Amazon) - 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 just bought a two pack of eero 7 Pros and found it took three days before best channel assignment took place moving me from channel 36 to 100. The difference in speeds for all devices was incredible. I went from 300mbps to 680 (80 mbps over my Spectrum plan thanks to over provisioning) and I can now view live 2K feeds on our security cams without pixilation all while two other devices are streaming movies (the Orbi system it replaced couldn't handle that). Definitely give it at least three days before judging performance.

Just noticed my 7 Pros changed channels for the second time this week (from 36 to 100 to 128). We live in a cluster home development and right now I'm seeing all bars showing on 31 nearby networks in our neighborhood. Looks like my eeros are getting the job done surpassing our speed plan even with all the surrounding RF noise.

Partly out of necessity with a dying Orbi satellite combined with only a 20/600mbps service from Spectrum which I don't plan on increasing with just two of us here in a 2600 sq ft, two floor home. Additionally, the Max would have been overkill ...frankly the Pro is to an extent but considering what it offers and the price was right, I didn't want to settle for a lesser system that I might regret and end up sending back. My choice to get the Pro paid off. It fits our house perfectly - full coverage, great speeds, stability and devices don't roam between the gateway and leaf … I think I won ;-)

For 1500 sqft, I wonder if a single Pro 7 will work. Unless it would not be centrally located?

The Max 7 has no separate satellite by design. Only other Max 7 (or lower) to use as a satellite. You'll likely be OK with a single Max 7 for that space, and the drywall will be better for signal penetration than if you mentioned concrete, brick, etc. The radios in the Max 7 are far superior to the Pro 7 (range & link quality to clients), you get better options with the Max 7 regarding Ethernet ports for future use, and a single Max 7 is better than two Pro 7 with competing spectrum & added hops for clients on paper. Whatever you decide, make sure to place the gateway unit as high up in the room as possible without looking out of place, to avoid solid object interference.
