"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."

I just upgraded from an eero 6e to a UDR7, it’s barely more money and so much better. Eero is pretty set it and forget it but if you want any advanced features at all, or maybe in the future, go with ubiquiti
Eero 6e with 3 nodes.
The 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.
You will not have advantage of 2gb fiber connection with 6e. Even if you connect 6e to isp with 2.5gb port, second port is only 1gb. I recommend hardwire all mesh nodes if it's possible. Unlikely that nodes able to handle more then 500-800 wireless connection for a long time
Since I've had Sonos gear in my house, I've run three mesh wifi routers: a Netgear Orbi, a Tp-Link XE-75 Pro and now a Eero 6E. By far the Eero has been the easiest, most stable and most reliable of the bunch. The TP-Link was absolute garbage and nothing but a headache for the 6 months I had it.
Eero Pro 6E or Eero 7 it’s plug and play,future proof will give you everything you’re looking for without all the technical jargon blasting you in the face.
Idk why you got down voted but I spent about 160 bucks to get two TP-Link Deco XE70 Pro from Amazon to replace my Eero Pro 6e +extender. I also have increased speeds and range. From my research seems like best bang for the buck. That being said the 300 bucks package here is alright if you want to stay in the same ecosystem. Not a crazy deal, but if you need it, you need it.
Not sure what the BB rep is smoking -- those are routers. Also, FFS right on the product page it says: "Integrated modem: no"
Routers route packets from the internet to the devices on the network. In consumer routers, they also perform NAT so all your devices can share a single IP address that your ISP gives you. Modems convert whatever underlying WAN signaling into ethernet (Modulator/Demodulator). The fiber equivalent is an ONT or Optical Network Terminal) which coverts the fiber optic(light) signals into ethernet. And an access point bridges your wired Ethernet network to WiFi. Devices can perform one or more of those roles, and many times those roles can be enabled or disabled in the admin page. This is where a lot of the confusion comes from. Many ISP supplied routers also are modems and access points for example. And practically every consumer router available is also an access point. But not every access point sold is a router. In the case of the EERO, one of the nodes will be both a router and an access point, and the other nodes will just be access points. None of them will be a modem or ONT because it doesn't have any ports other than Ethernet, so there's nothing for it to convert.
Eero is definitely the best mesh networking out currently. We have hundreds installed with 0 callbacks. Eero 6e is pretty solid, but you could always jump up to the Eero 7 lineup.
Absolutely, I've had every generation of Google/nest mesh systems, with varying results and bad coverage outside to my RV and back patio. Also random dropouts and disconnects throughout my home. I bought the eero 6e system and it is so much more stable than anything I experienced with Google mesh. Even before adding my outdoor 7 AP I was getting so much more coverage around my yard. Now with the 7 outdoor added it's amazing! Super stable and great coverage.
