eero - eero 7

Working 100% fine on my Eero mesh network.

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.

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!

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.

There are so many variable it's not that easy lol. But, it usually comes down to the router provided by Verizon just being crap. If you're not too technically inclined, the best option is to get a mesh wifi system like eero or google wifi mesh etc. It's likely a combination of the shitty router + just a busy RF environment.

Eero is pretty dum dum proof

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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 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).

The folks suggesting Omada and Unifi aren't wrong. Those are *great* systems, but they're pretty "pro". If you don't need advanced networking features (e.g., VLANs beyond isolated guest networks, traffic rules)/want something that's more plug-and-play, a mesh system that supports wired backhaul might be a better fit. Asus ZenWiFi performs well, supports wired backhaul, and offers some useful advanced settings. It's not as configurable as Omada or Unifi or MikroTik, but it's simpler to manage and "good enough" (multiple isolated guest networks, band-specific networks, QoS) for lots of home users. Eero also performs well but doesn't support as many advanced features as Asus.

Eero (Amazon), tp link Deco, and Asus ZenWifi are all well-reviewed and perform well. If you've got to go mesh, look for a tri-band system with a dedicated backhaul channel (Eero, Deco, and ZenWifi all have models). Eero and Deco are a little more "plug and play". ZenWifi is also easy to set up, and some models give a few more config options/control than Eero or deco. The tricky part is that you don't know how well mesh will perform until you set it up in your place. Two nodes might be enough, but you might need three (or four). A 6 ghz backhaul channel might work, but, if the walls and floors in your place cause a lot of interference, you might see better perf with a 5 ghz backhaul. So buy from a place you can return it, maybe start with three nodes, test how coverage and speeds look, go from there. All three have 2.5 Gbps ports. 3 gig is a *lot* of bandwidth for a residential setup. Unless you're regularly downloading gigantic files (video, game updates), you probably won't exceed ~300-500 Mbps, and WiFi will de facto limit the perf on any device to ~200-600 Mbps. For most homes, 200 Mbps is plenty. If the 3 gig price isn't much different than ~300 Mbps (if you're in the US, it's hard to find service under ~300 Mbps), go for it, but if you're paying a premium for 3 gig, you can save some coin and you almost certainly won't notice a difference in performance. If you're in Europe, you rule!, fiber away because you're prob only paying like €40 for 3 gig.

I run 4 [gocoax ma2500d](https://www.gocoax.com/ma2500d) adapters alongside two eero 7 mesh pucks in bridge mode. I don't remember what spec the Roamios/minis support, so you might run into some speed issues there. But I've generally had some good success. They've allowed me to hardwire stuff at my media center, the wife's office, and the spare bedroom where we keep the eero on the third floor.

The Eero 7 3pack is cheaper than the 6E 3 pack, why wouldn't I just get that? 2k sq. foot house with lots of interference, 2 daughters and a wife that heavily cnsume games and internet and video apps, tv's in many rooms... probably 20 active devices. and when their friends come over, BAM! Peakout!

Hello! I would not recommend. Had several (3) of the Pro's for 4 months and nothing but problems. One stopped working altogether, others would overheat and need to be restarted, overall Internet would work 1 day and not the next, etc. So much hassle. Changed to Eero mesh routers and all has been good and stable since. Been using 1GB fiber Internet here as well. Hope this helps!
