eero Pro (Wi-Fi 5)

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.

1 bedroom apartment is a small footprint. A single / affordable option is to use Eero 5pro (these are older and affordable, can even by them used), or a newer version. I’ve had good experience with Eero’s.

I use an original eero pro and it has been flawless with Sonos.

I’ve had my Eero 5 for 9 years now, it’s been bulletproof. I want to upgrade it and looked into using my T Mobile service’s mesh system but read it doesn’t work nearly as well as other mesh systems so I’ll be sticking with Eero, I’ve got no good reason to change.

I have used EERO since 2020 in two houses. I had WiFi 5 and 6 units and now 7 eero pro 7’s (not EERO pro max). All have been excellent. There was a period of time, about six months ago, that the firmware would not connect to my Tesla wall connector and one or two Samsung TVs after a firmware upgrade. I could manually reboot and reconfigure and all was well. That issue has disappeared, no more problems. I have been on 1 GIG and now 2 GIG Cox internet service using a cable Modem Arris S33 and now Arris S34 (Both Docsis 3.1). I really like the way the system maintains itself by installing new updates and distributing the updates automatically to all EERO mesh routers wired and wireless. All products have their nuances and occasional problems but, by and large, EERO routers are outstanding and I highly recommend them!
