"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. ... These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"is set it and forget it ... I have 6 systems installed that have had zero problems. Totally ended the calls about wifi"
"Having kids who run everywhere for wifi, eero is simply the best. ... Set it, forget it, and it's simplified my life."

"I set up 6 of them and covered a 2 acre area including a 4 story house, a 4 car garage, another 2 story house, a 2800 sq foot barn and a tiny house."
"Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s."
"My Eero Pro 6 with wired backhaul to a second Eero Pro 6 has been rock solid for many years. I’m probably still 2 years away from considering upgrading."

"As long as there is no downtime, I’m a happy camper. ... I had the Orbi RBK50 before which gave me better speeds but it couldn’t stay consistent for the life of it. Always had random dropouts and rebooting the router and satellites takes like 3-4 mins."

"I have a tri-level home with 3 Eero units. ... I have the base unit next to my AT&T fiber gateway on the upper floor, one in a receptacle bracket in my dining room on the middle floor and one in my garage on the bottom floor at the opposite end of the dining room unit. ... I'm using wifi only to connect all three and have no gaps in coverage. ... I have wifi cameras on the front, back and each end of the house and one out on my storage shed about 75 feet from the house. ... I can walk anywhere on my property and have no less than 40 to 45% signal strength."
"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."

"I’ve had the Pro 6’s for almost 4 years without a single issue and well over 60 client devices."
"For those who have gigabit home fiber like myself, the Pro 6 units are rock solid and have never experienced downtime while running a household of 6 users with over 50 devices."
"We typically have 15-20 devices actively connected and using data at a time and performance isn’t an issue."

"And some features are blocked behind a paywall like for example going to a list of which devices consume more data on a day and so on."
"Amazon does seem to have some subscription based functions in the router firmware 99.99/year for eero+ features such as VPN, content controls, user management, etc. ... I typically won’t buy products that want you to pay a subscription to make full use of the hardware already purchased."
"constant upsell for features that I believe should be standard"

"The deal break for me is the local network shuts down unless the eero can connect to the internet on startup. ... The router will not accept any local clients unless it phoned home to Amazon on startup"
"Without Internet you cannot access the management of your network , you can only access via phone app with account no IP or web page."

"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."
I have 1gig service and with the eero pro 6 I was getting about 400meg to 500meg. Replaced with one eero 7 max and getting over 850 in some spots. I think the max 7 just has more throughput
r/amazoneero • eero is really great: the comparison you never ask for ->I had three Pro 6s and was hoping to replace with two Max 7s. But had too many devices slip to 2.4 GHz when I did and ended up moving to three Max 7s. Still happy with the upgrade because there is way less performance degradation when connecting to a remote eero node. I’m in a two story home with a basement with primary node in the basement due to cable modem location.
r/amazoneero • Eero max 7 coverage on two story ->Hoping a new pair of eero 7 Pros arriving this afternoon from Amazon see off my old RBK752 system after the RBS started having issues. I dusted off two eero 6 Pros I had in storage while waiting on the 7 Pros and I'm shocked at how good they are with the latest firmware. They support our 2K security cameras with zero pixilation now when scanning the yard in real time. My RBK752 didn't have the bandwidth to support that kind of stream.
r/orbi • Moved from Orbi 970 to Ubiquiti and OMG ->If wifi speeds are far lower than you expect with three Max 7s, remove one of the Max 7s and retest speeds after a few minutes. I ran into this problem years ago trying to use three Pro 6s over two stories and 2200 sq feet. I removed one of the 6s and wifi speeds went through the roof again. I'm using two Pro 7s now in the same home and experiencing the best speeds and coverage ever. I'm quite happy now my Orbi 752 satellite decided to die three months ago which made me revisit eero ;-)
r/amazoneero • Thinking of switching from Netgear Orbi 970 to Eero Max 7 ->Possibly but my gut tells me no, one Max 7 won't be. One Max 7 is rated at 2500sq ft at BEST case with no walls. I would start with one and see how it performed and if your budget allows, add a second Eero. I'm covering an estimated 6500 sq ft(including garage and some yard area) with 4 Max 7's. I used to have 6 Eero 6 pros covering the same area.
r/amazoneero • Eero max 7 coverage on two story ->Using Eero for the past 8 years.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->I would absolutely agree with you there, budget allowing. Currently I run two eero 6+ devices (going back in a few days; they belong to my ISP and I'm leaving their area) along with two eero Pro 6 devices (mine, purchased before I switched to my current ISP, which provided the 6+ eeros at no monthly charge). They've all been great devices to run. However, if I were buying today (whether for replacement or just supplementing), I would only look at the various eero 7 options. I probably should have mentioned that, even though it sounded like OP might be looking to spend less!
r/amazoneero • Access point confusion ->What standard is your router, as in wifi 5 or wifi 6 for example? My house struggled with a wifi 5 router and also with these devices plugged in, would still drop out of connection etc. I have an eero pro 6 now and it’s spot on for coverage etc. My echos are also capable of extending signals which possibly helps. There probably are better routers out there but just an example of my experiences.
r/DIYUK • Do these power line extenders really work ? ->I currently have Att 1gb fiber with eero pro 6 3 pack in two story home. Debating getting 6e. Have all updated apple stuff and hard wired TVs. What do you all recommend?
r/amazoneero • Eero announces line of Wifi 7 products (eero 7 and Pro 7) ->Same. I’ve had the Pro 6’s for almost 4 years without a single issue and well over 60 client devices. What i love about my Pro 6’s is they are the same design shape as the new 7’s where they kind of remain out of the way (low profile) vs the newer models being upright and looking obviously more like a router/satellites.
r/amazoneero • Eero announces line of Wifi 7 products (eero 7 and Pro 7) ->Well BIFL is tough for tech. I’ve been using eero pro 6 and an extender in another room. Zero complaints. Had it for about 4 years. Thru Amazon. They offer a bunch of add on services that may or may not interest you, but I just use the routers
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Wi-Fi Router Recommendations! ->Eero has worked fine for me (i currently have 3 Eero Pro 6's but previous had 3 gen2 Eero Pros that also worked fine. Battery cam pro is another story but I blame the cam and distance (it's on our roof).
