"if you decide to get the N5, pay for the Vantrue branded SD card. It’s certified to handle the speeds necessary to record 4 video streams at once. When I first got this dashcam, I tried several other high speed name brand cards (Samsung, SanDisk, etc), and they all had issues."
"Basically a set it up and leave it situation. Since our 12v plug ins are keyed to power we never have to touch it"
"it's a set and forget type thing. ... after months of ignoring it, I grabbed some vids as a check and it's still going strong."

"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."

"Unifi provide the most stable wifi network for IoT of all the AP on the market, even with one VLAN, even in mesh configuration. ... I have +200 IoT devices in my home from Apple, Switchbot, Aqara, Logitech, Eufy, Hue, Govee, and numerous exotic brands. I have been through hell with solutions from Apple, Orbi, Peplink, Meraki, Eero, Huawei and many many more. And only since I am rocking on Unifi I can open my Apple Home app with not a single device error !"
"I have over 60 devices connected to it, and have ZERO issues."
"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"Even when Meshing in a line of sight from over 300 ft away on a 1 Gb connection, download speeds climbed into the 500s."
"I've had the system for about two and a half years and I can tell you it's been near flawless. Speeds are constant, almost no drops...ever!!"

"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+."
"Very easy to install you go into the app and add a node."
"They work flawlessly for a set it and forget it internet experience."

"The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."
"I lost 300$ on a50 gen 5,has worked maybe 10 hours totally ... and dock station froze and stayed in xbox mode after a regular software update... ... tried everything i could,believe me..."
"I get an hourly lag/packet loss spike that lasts 20-30 seconds on my 770 satellite even after segmenting or removing all other devices from my network other than my gaming box."

"Without Internet you cannot access the management of your network"
"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"
"It’s designed as an entry level unit that ISPs can buy dirt cheap and supply to customers, not really designed for a performant gateway on a network with demanding users."

"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."

"Stay far away from routers with fans, I returned a tp-link wifi 7 router over this exact issue. ... Sfp port was so hot it was unreal. ... Try to cool your place in summer with air conditioning, you don't want some fan blowing heat. ... Also moving parts is a bad idea for longevity."
"my eero router connected to the ONT has overheated (i suspect) earlier today. The internet dropped on the eeros but I still was receiving service on the ONT and cox.com showed my network was still up. Upon touching the eero, I noticed it was pretty hot."

almondking621 1.0a little confused .. the eero pro 6 is a wireless router, the pw7 cox is a modem router. in your case, u have fiber coming into the ont and output is a rj45 port? u are sure you have an ont and not onr? the eero pro 6 has 1gbps ports, the pw7 according to specs is 2.5gbps port. is your gaming machine also 2.5gb port or better? if its 1gbps port, u probably wont see much diff. when u connect your gaming machine to the eero pro 6 by lan, did u also disable the wifi on your gaming rig?
u probably done what you can and confirmed that the eero pro 6 is not giving u the performance u wanted. in my area, eero is not a preferred make, tplink and asus are. since your board has 2,5gbps, u should but a new router with 2.5gb port. at least you have 2.5gb lan.
aoreyes 1.0The Eero eco system is pretty rock solid. I had an Eero 6E Pro with a 6 Pro doing mesh on a 1250sq ft apartment and never had an issue. I recently upgraded to a Dream Router 7 because I wanted to separate the IoT devices and have a network running on a VPN and it's been great. Eero is great but somewhat limited which is why I upgraded to the UDR7.
barista_boy 1.0I have been using Eero 6 Pros since soon after they came out. They have worked flawlessly for me since then. I fix computers for a living and have installed those units in more than 100 homes with no issues! I now have to buy them on eBay as Eero has discontinued them. But they have the best range and seem to virtually bulletproof. I have never seen anything is so easy to install and works so well. Also, I can buy the units for about $50 each on eBay and resell them for $120-$160 each, plus my time at $160 an hour. And my customers are super happy!
damianp67 1.0I love mine. Have had them since launch and replaced my older eero 6 pros. No regrets and been super stable for me.
DarkRyoushii 1.0The Amazon Eero 6 Pro or better is my pick for a set-and-forget device that you can extend over time.
DoodleDaddyy 1.0I currently have the pro 6 3-pack for my 3100 sqft home and have had ZERO issues with about 60 devices connected for the last 4-5 years. Moving to a new house 4100 sqft and looking at options for that house since my existing system will stay with the rental. I see "upgrade options" that give a solid discount. Usage we need is zoom calls (usually one person at a time max) some tv streaming and general internet usage with some cameras, smart home stuff, etc, nothing needed for heavy load streaming or gaming. Should I be ok with the 6+ or do I need to go to a pro model again?
drdavevet 1.0I “upgraded” from Eero 6 Pro to the EERO 7 Pro, don’t ask me why. I now have to manually add common web sites to the “approved” list and that is a pain in the ass! “Customer support” is a joke and hasn’t helped changing whatever needs to be changed to stop the annoying need to add sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
DrWhoey 1.0I would say Yes. I work in telecommunications providing 1gb services w/eero and our boss lived out of network with a 15mb dsl service that he hated. He took one of our Eero Pro 6 home and hooked it up and he noticed a significant improvement in his network reliability. The eero pro 6 really has good network management with multiple devices with the wifi 6 tech over wifi 5.
flynreelow 1.0eero pro 6, pro 6e, or one of these 7s.
just get another EERO. why TF would u want a wifi extender?
how big is the house. i like the modem, but would look at EERO mesh instead.
ive deployed 250+ EERO mesh set ups. They work flawlessly for a set it and forget it internet experience.
EERO mesh. /thread done.
gnesawilder 1.0If you understand some networking consider buying Ubiquiti’s Unifi Dream Router 7 and either Express 7s or any of their other access points as mesh nodes. If you have Ethernet around your home just buy a Unifi cloud gateway (with or without WiFi in it) Run Official software versions (not beta/alpha) I tried every mesh system before switching - Eero Pro 6 (not 6e) was second best to Unifi. If you want a new version of Eero then Eero 7 Max. TP-link typically worked well.
