eero - eero 6+

I'd go with [Eero](https://productbible.com/product/amazon-eero-6-mesh-wifi-system). I'm usually terrible with networking related stuff, but this one was a breeze to setup.

100% spend the $ to get it ethernet done to each wifi point. I am a big fan of Eero wifi units if going wireless or Google if going wired btw. Google wifi uses the 6e wifi as wireless backhaul witch seems to have issues over 2 floors

I have 4 Eeros and all have Ethernet backhauls Recommended

Eero does 500mbps over WiFi, it's hands down one of the best and easiest to manage. 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. Most people don't need Gig network running throughout a house, it's irrelevant Anyone saying don't do mesh is honestly an idiot. Most probably live in an apartment or small house or just have know clue what you need vs what you want. 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 Zero reason to not have a mesh setup in 95% of setups... plan and simple Especially when you can do outdoor mesh setups with companies like Ubiquity but unless you need outdoor internet to throw it to a barn or something... most get the job done just fine, like eero

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.

I had Eero at my last place and all was well. Now, same hardware at the new place and I get the same thing on my Google Home (although the Minis seem to stay connected).

Eero is pretty dum dum proof

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 they can't get a cable, have them do a mesh device. Turn the WiFi off on the router, and add a 2 or 3 mesh system like eero. I use TP-Link Deco myself. You hardware 1 to the router and put the other 1 or 2 strategically where you have power only.

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 have an iPhone, Apple TVs, iPad and two MacBooks on Eero and they are getting fantastic speeds

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.

I'm using the eeroesh system. I have the eero 6+. There's newer versions now, and noticed multiple subnets. You can just buy one and setup a new one as an extender with no issue, or buy one with a network jack and use it as a wired extender. I don't have the eero 6 pro,but I still get nearly 959 or greater for download and 850+ for upload speeds on a 1gb line. On wifie purely it's in the 700 to 800 range. I am a computer person, I understand networking, I'm a solutions architect and know how to troubleshoot so many random things. The EERO system has been insanely easy to setup and has been crazy reliable. Have had eero since 2022 and haven't had a single failure

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.

No. This is a piece of hardware that requires other pieces to work. UniFi sells business and enterprise networking equipment. It requires a management system to be in place. A cloud key or Dream Machine is needed to configure this. Think, professional use only where professional knowledge is necessary. Return this to where you purchased it. If you want to use Mesh, pickup a TP-Link Deco system, Eero, or a Google Nest WiFi system for a ***proper*** functional system that won't make things worse. Don't buy garbage called "range extenders" or "WiFi boosters".

Amazon eero have been great for me

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.

Working 100% fine on my Eero mesh network.

Nerd stickler - mesh is Wi-Fi back haul. If it's wired backhaul, it's not mesh. That said, with mesh if the APs can't get good wireless signals between themselves, you'll have a crummy experience. Were it me, it get something that can do wired backhaul OR mesh (which are most things... Eero, Orbi, etc). Try power line for backhaul. If it works, great. If it doesn't return it and fall back to mesh.

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.

Same experience. Initially worked fine, after series of updates and deprecation of the original Google wifi app, just downhill from there. Random dropouts of one of the nodes, poorer bandwidth than before. Some speculated heat issues over time but mine were sitting in the open. In any case, replaced with Eeros and we're back to normal and zero hiccups.

Re-iterating what others have stated. They work great when you hardware each unit. I am not a fan of wireless backhaul. In theory it should work, but in reality I find them lacking. I have recently done a Deco install and an Eero install, hardwiring all units for both. It is sometimes cheaper to do it this way than buying APs to wire in. Just remember to have the "Main" mesh unit first in the chain. I usually go Internet Modem -> First Mesh Unit -> switch -> satellites.

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.

Eero 6+ or eero pro 7 if higher budget super easy for average consumer

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.

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.

Spectrum customer here. I use the modem they supply and an eero mesh WiFi system. Very happy family with good and reliable WiFi throughout the house.

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.

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 : )

Based on my experience with cheap and more expensive EERO setups I wonder if your Xbox is somehow sick. Not an XBOX guy and have no idea if possible but if you haven't A/Bed it with known source, its worth a try. How does a tablet, phone or laptop show speed at same location? Sorry - Probably all stuff you've thought of and done.

Eero for the remote accessibility.

I would recommend a wireless mesh system. I had Orbi in a 2400 sq ft 3 level home (1 router, 2 satellite units) and Eero in a 2 story 3100 sq ft home (1 router, 1 satellite unit).

I pay for 300 down 22 up and I get every bit of it all around my house. In between devices I'm getting much more which in my opinion is much more important.

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.

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.

Not too concerned with price, just been on the fence on switching to a ubiquiti eco system but I've been very pleased with the single 6+ I have now. For only a 100 bucks I'll snag another 6+ and run an additional Ethernet to the back side of the house for it and see how that helps out before jumping ship.

As someone who has used eero mesh for years now (and upgraded along the way). I just switched to unifi.

Get the eero 6e or higher. Even if you buy cheaper brands, tplink, etc, make sure the unit is at least 6e. Don't waste your money on old technology... Wifi 7 been around a year already. Still pricey. But the eero 6 plus was great 3 generations ago.

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!

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

I sold my asus 68 and went eero. Sold the eero and a month later went to a asus 88 rx pro. For me and my old house, the single asus had better range and perf than the mesh. So my single asus that hasn't had a firmware release in like 6 months continues to chug along. Maybe we are getting to the point now where upgrading doesn't get you much
