eero - eero 6

Eero is a mesh wifi system. As you aren't gaming in the office, use an extra eero AP in between the laundry room and the office to get full house coverage

Has anyone used Deco or Asus mesh system? It seems that they are much cheaper than eeor and have a much better spec on paper than similar eero mesh system. It seems that eero is by far the most popular mesh system for home (ubiquiti is more for business). Any reason behind this? Is eero mesh more reliable and robust? I have eero 6 mesh sytems at home, and I think the performance is just ok/mediocre, and want to upgrade it, thus looking into a better system. To be fair, eero mesh was relatively reliable to me, only disconnect/slow down a couple of times in the past 2 years, but I'm also only get 1/3 of the speed on the mesh too. Edit: Does eero know that I'm considering to replace them? I did not have any problem before, but suddenly my iPad will not connect to the nearest euro, but to the farthest the weakest eero so weird, and no matter what I do, it will not connect to the proper eero, but I don't have this problem with any other device devices... now eero becomes annoying

That is one thing I don't like eero, only has two ports, and one has to be reserved from the isp. I have 4 eeros, so I have to use a switch

I have one router and 3 nodes. They are all eero 6. all of the eero 6 was only geting 100 mbps... I think the placement is relatively centered though. I may try to have a tri-band mesh system, before I run the ethernet cables though.

I have 4 Eeros and all have Ethernet backhauls Recommended

Agree, the Eero 3-pack at my house, and the 3-pack at my parent's house works flawlessly, but we are using wired connections between all of the Eero devices instead of relying on them to link together wirelessly. Linking them wirelessly just did not work reliably for me, and the speeds were poor. I'm using old coax connections with MOCA converters to turn the old coax into Ethernet connections.

Don't waste time with the pods. Invest in a mesh system. Eero or orbi. WiFi 6, 6+, 6e, or 7. 6e and 7 will give you 6g, 5g, and 2.4g. 6 and 6+ only give 2.4 and 5. All will get you a Gig. Don't shove them in corners of the house. Spread them out but in more centralized location.

Amazon eero have been great for me

Unifi is the best if you can mount APs. I've used an eero 6 for a long time now and don't have any complaints and highly recommend it.

Eero is going to be a bit spendy in comparison to TP Link. [This TP Link is around $160](https://a.co/d/8VPQ1au) I have the AC1900 Deco which is more around $120 but not as good. I bought that a couple years ago.

I'd forget about the Telstra part completely. You can plug the NTD directly into an Eero and then either use the other available ports to connect to the ports in the garage, or throw in a Netgear port switch between the Eero and the garage connection ports. Wire the rest as per your thoughts. You don't need a modem with NBN NTD.

Have Eero, not the best but it does the job. I've put too much money into it to want to swap it out. To make this more broad, definitely agree with a wireless mesh system. I don't have any Ethernet ports and only have a coax in the worst possible place. Our house has 2 remote workers, 4 gaming computers and multiple other devices, like TVs, tablets and smart appliances. No issues at all!

Absolutely best solution would be to hard wire a couple of wifi 7 access points. Easier option would be a mesh system- my main suggestion here is to get wifi 7 to future proof yourself and the appropriate mesh units. It will prob be in the $3-$400 range but you'll be good for a long time. If you ever upgrade your speed or get a fiber connection- you'll appreciate that your setup is more than ready for it. Other advice- don't cheap out. You get what you pay for. Stay away from the budget TP-link options. Eero is probably the easiest to setup. Also- Costco does good deals on quality mesh systems. Check them out if you have a membership

I'm not an expert in this but my experience with the Eero 7 has been pretty good. I believe one E7 will be better than multiple E6s. I have a larger home and went from 3 E6 units to 2 E7 units. I suspect that each extender impacts your overall bandwidth so fewer units is going to have better performance. I have 500M bandwidth. With 3 E6's, I was getting about 200M by the time the signal got from the basement (where the utilities come in) to the top floor ( my office). With 2 E7s, I'm getting 400M upstairs, so I'm a much happier camper. That said, these things are not cheap. I bought mine on Cyber Monday. If you can, wait for a sale.

Eero is very greedy on trying to maximize its own performance at the expense of everything else. It works ok if there aren't any other APs (ie neighbors) nearby, but it sucks ass if you live in dense housing.

If it's a 1BR apartment, it wouldn't be any better. But you said house - if it's a 2-story 4BR with a basement rec room, and you want to use it in the back yard, then you're gonna want more than 1 access point, Eero or otherwise. And in general, if you can reasonably wire the backhaul, do it. It's generally faster and more consistent and less prone to interference from other electronics than a wireless connection. You said you can't really do that now, but know that with multiple Eeros, they don't all have to be wired. If you have 3 Eeros, you can wire two of them together even if you can't wire in the third one yet\*. They will communicate via the fastest and most consistent connection they have with each other, be it wired or wireless. \* This is exactly my current setup. Cable modem and an Eero in the central part of the main house. In the apartment (next door, not a different floor), another one with a wired connection through the shared basement. Third one is out in the backyard she-shed, connected wirelessly. This setup provides a strong wifi connection throughout the whole house and back yard. Which isn't very large - about a half acre.

Essentially the same here but added on to increase sampling size : )

This is what I wanted to do. But alas, the handover between the eero's was incredibly slow. Both worked independently and seemed to work fine in bridged mode, but the mesh part was crap. If using them in their separate rooms, as 2 independent WiFi units, fine. If having them as mesh, as previously mentioned, one needs to be upstream.

I use Eero and it works beautifully. Speeds and coverage are excellent

This is anecdata, but I for one have an Eero mesh wifi system, and a number of Sonos speakers, and things have been pretty stable for me over the past year. The app has had problems, to be sure, but "can't detect the speakers" and such hasn't been a problem here, though I know it has affected lots of other folks. From skimming posts here, there seems to be a pattern that things have generally been stable for other Eero users, too, though I'm sure exceptions to that must exist.

Get eero or Tplink, you'll be fine. I went through 2 Google mesh systems and now leave them alone. BTW you don't need the wifi 7 or even 6E. Save some money unless you have Gigabit internet, then go crazy.

Eero can do a decent job if you are absolutely against wiring in access points. Just temper your expectations. The access points that are furthest away from the gateway will have slower speeds than the access points that are closer to the gateway. Your house's type of construction will also play role in performance.

I love my eero mesh system. Currently using Arris Surfboard modem with about four Eero 6. Make sure you're not over purchasing... For me, I only need eero 6, because I can't get much more "internet" from my ISP where I live.

I've been very happy with eero, but if I were to do it today, I'd pick the new tp-link WiFi 7 mesh system.

White it would take time and someone's cooperation, swapping out someone else's EERO equipment might be at least a fun test. Like I say I'm no pro on the technology but I have personally sequentially upgraded EERO generations thrice no with nothing but outstanding results compared to my 'traditional' WiFi networks and have had personal knowledge of 3 other parties who became EERO fans real quick in our traditional American Homes - designed just a tad too spread out for effective non EERO WiFi. Based on what's represented it definitely seems more like a hardware failure/setup failure settings type issue. Once again, this is just because of my experience with EERO having cured all my WiFi woes. I'm no expert, I'm just a real happy customer. Happy enough that I upgraded twice more or less because I was so happy.

If you have to wireless mesh, eero is really good in my experience. Setup is painless and it just works, I've only had to reset my network maybe once or twice in the last few years. As others mentioned, if you can do wired backhaul then that'd be ideal.

Eero for the remote accessibility.

Option A. For a similar size space- I have a MT router with WiFi in my main area. 2 decos top floor. Mesh 2nd floor 1 Deco( area isn't used much) Lowest floor 2 Decos. Option B. Eeros same layout Option C. If you have hard wired runs then an ubiquitous system. Depending on budget Omada would be low end, ubiquity mid range and upper range Ruckus, Juniper, cambium, etc. I'm a Ruckus fan myself. If speed isn't a concern you can get older AC R510 or 610 with max speed close to a Gig from these, for a good price from eBay. Set them with unleashed firmware and you are good to go. Remember mesh hops create a power loss of 50% each. So if you have 100 at the main floor, the 4th floor will be 12.5. Hope this helps.
