"Set it and forget it solution that will give you gig wired and closest you can get over wifi. ... eero is set it and forget it and just works"

"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"I have a primary and secondary mesh access points. The primary is in the house and the secondary is in another small building about 80ft away with no problems."
"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."

"Have rock solid eero pros. ... I mean im a small setup. 30 wifi devices. 10 ethernet devices. And 40 lutrons hardwired."
"Having kids who run everywhere for wifi, eero is simply the best. ... Set it, forget it, and it's simplified my life."

"I ended up getting the eero mesh system and those work flawlessly"
"Since the speeds upstairs were not the best I ran a 150ft Ethernet cable along the ceiling into the office into a switch for my wife’s office setup (she was getting 100mbs speeds prior) then hooked the other eero mesh to the switch and now the upstairs gets 800mbs on WiFi."
"The difference just one unit from the setup was immensely better. ... In fact I think the mesh was a waste of money, just having better equipment will make a better difference. ... What I bought wasn’t even the best, but I can consistently get 500mbps through it."

"I have a 2 story 2350sf house. I have an Orbi with the master AP upstairs in the hall covering all the bedrooms rooms. Downstairs I have 2 Orbi Client APs on either end of the house covering all the downstairs, garage, and outside. ... I’ve never had any issues with coverage or bandwidth."
"I have a tri-level home with 3 Eero units. ... I'm using wifi only to connect all three and have no gaps in coverage. ... I can walk anywhere on my property and have no less than 40 to 45% signal strength."
"3 pods and covers the house and property quite nicely."

"I lose all of my customization every reboot. ... I found that when I have to reboot the router, all of that customization is lost. There is no way to back this up."
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."
"If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. ... using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc."

"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."

"the eero routers have awful wifi signal. I can't even get 200mbps over 2 meters away"
"I purchased the Eero 6+ (that they sell) and can't get above 400mbps. ... even with the router plugged in to the box and me sitting right beside it (it's in the garage and not practical to sit out there to work), the best I get is 400mbps."
"I did find the eero did have less speed than my netgear with identical locations and settings."
Stonewalled9999 0.7They do make a powerline with a pass through power so you could put that on the wall and run a powerstrip after it. But IME a 3node Eero will probably perform better for you.
Alternative_Hippo720 0.5I'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.
BeachHut9 0.5Have a look at the Amazon Eero 6+ as it works very well on FTTP connections.
BigFrog104 0.5Most of my home clients I get them a Eero 6+ They are essentially idiot proof and while not as customizable as MicroTik the average Joe the Plumber types will do better with this that frogging around with settings they don't understand.
bryeds78 0.5I'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
BummingBock 0.5A simple eero 6+ system would be fine with like 2 nodes. You could easily run an Ethernet on your ceiling if you have hurricane proofed walls like I do to power your other WiFi
Chief_Nan 0.5I'm interested to know what you went with? I am a recent AB (1000/40mbps)customer who purchased the Eero 6+ (that they sell) and can't get above 400mbps. I'm about to return it today, after many, many weeks of to and fro and testing. I can get 900mbps ethernet connected to NBN box but, even with the router plugged in to the box and me sitting right beside it (it's in the garage and not practical to sit out there to work), the best I get is 400mbps. Further away, with the additional mesh, it's only ever 200mbps.
cmill9 0.5I second this. Eero gets a lot of hate on reddit but i dont personally understand why. In my experience its been plug and play, set and forget, robust, solid, and fast. I have 3 different networks/locations with a total of 21 eero 6+s. No issues whatsoever, all my homekit, matter and thread devices work great. I also dont have the thread network issue others report. Mine creates a single thread network using my apple TBRs and my eeros. I can see it in HA and in eve app. I recommend it without reservation. I see a lot of discussion about setting network parameters on other systems that DO get more love like Unifi. I definitely dont get as much granular control with eero, but I also dont need it. Which is exactly what I want.
danh_ptown 0.5While this is a useful list, it does not compare each model to the speed of the internet connection. And it is misleading to consumers, assuming that is who you targeted it to, by posting on Reddit. This list is very biased to Wi-Fi standards and not the needs of individuals buying a router/mesh for their home. While carriers are offering faster and faster speeds, not everyone needs it! The vast majority of homes only need the slowest high-speed, but carriers are happy to push higher speeds to people who clearly do not need it! I manage Wi-Fi at 5 homes, including friends and family. In my personal home, I run a network supporting 2 living units, 6 bedrooms, multiple streaming TVs, up to 12 people at a given time, lots of Wi-Fi attached devices. And all of that works fine on a 3-node Eero 6+ with 400MB service. Since 6+ is good to 1GB service, it is more than fine for this network. Cost $300 for 3-nodes 7 Max is $1700 for 3-nodes! Pro is $700. Neither of those are affordable to most people.
DieHarderDaddy 0.5So what I did was get an Eero 6+ mesh and run it out the back of my Att modem. Since the speeds upstairs were not the best I ran a 150ft Ethernet cable along the ceiling into the office into a switch for my wife’s office setup (she was getting 100mbs speeds prior) then hooked the other eero mesh to the switch and now the upstairs gets 800mbs on WiFi. I thought about doing it to the living room but I was getting 7-800mbs on my streaming PC so I assume all devices hooked to that eero via the switch are good.
