Stop thinking about WiFi and buy the best option out there: this one!

I purchased the eero Pro WiFi System to replace my aging Apple AirPort Extreme AC access points, which were causing me problems. While maximum speeds on the AirPorts were quite high, I found that they were not easily sustainable and my devices would achieve speeds that were wildly different throughout the day, failing to take advantage of my fast gigabit internet connection by delivering speeds, on average, of ~150 Mbps down and up. Eero has been a highly respected player in the home WiFi game for some time now, so I decided to bite the bullet and jump into mesh WiFi technology with what is regarded as the best (though not cheapest) option. I am not disappointed! HOME WIFI SYSTEM: eero replaces your existing WiFi access points/router, but not the modem that may be required by your internet service provider (ISP). Simply put, eero is your new WiFi solution, providing you with more flexibility in placement and coverage than what your ISP gives you, without clunky additions like network extenders. You manage everything through the eero app, which securely authenticates you and allows you to see which devices are connected, how much network traffic they are using, and which eero node they are connected to. I’ll get into more details about the app below. Security and feature updates happen automatically, so you can stop worrying about that while still keeping your network and devices secure, and gaining new features along the way. DESIGN: I absolutely love the way these things look. Apple did a great job with their AirPort devices, but I much prefer eero’s thin and squat frame to the taller design of many other access points. The soft white light on the front that shows you everything is working great is nice, and can be turned off in the app if you prefer. Unfortunately each eero Pro node has just two ethernet ports on the back, which means I had to buy a couple of switches to allow me to plug in devices like my PlayStation 4, Arlo security cameras, desktop PC, etc. Most other brands offer more ports than this, but most people will probably not notice. MESH WIFI TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE: This is the crown jewel of the eero WiFi System, and what differentiates it from most other WiFi systems. This mesh system allows each eero node to intelligently speak to other nodes and your devices, determining the best path for the connection to take to ensure you get the best speeds possible around your home. In real world terms this means that I never have to think about how well my devices will perform as I move around the house. I get insanely awesome coverage from my backyard, basement, main level, porch, and upstairs - and can often use my connection at the park across the street. Speeds vary once I get outside (my house has brick exterior walls), but eero powers through the lathe and plaster, and drywall walls that make up the interior of my house. Coverage issues are not a worry any longer. These pro units are incredibly powerful and do not disappoint in any situation I use them in. QUICK & EASY SETUP: This is no lie. From start (opening the package) to end (running my first speed test), I invested around 10-15 minutes. I just opened things up, plugged the first unit I grabbed into my first ethernet cable, and watched as the eero app handled everything. I was prompted for a network name and password, and then saw the app take over to get everything configured. After my first eero was set up and turned into the gateway (main) unit, I was asked if I wanted to set up other devices. I went ahead with my next Pro unit, and literally just connected it to power. The app detected it and configured it for my network quickly and automatically. I repeated this process for my third and final unit. Super easy. No configuration beyond the basics is required, and I almost couldn’t believe how quickly I was done. Even the most inexperienced users can get this running in minutes. WIFI SPEED: I have a gigabit internet connection from Verizon FiOS and while I understand that gigabit speeds are not achievable on home WiFi systems, I wanted to get as close to the theoretical maximum as possible. With my eero Pros I consistently get download speeds around 300-400 Mbps both down and up, depending on where I am located. The closer I am to my gateway (main unit) the faster speeds go, but even through the satellite nodes I am capable of maintaining these speeds. I am just not seeing the usual speed drop-off that tends to happen when you are connecting through satellite WiFi units and not the main base station. Impressive! MOBILE APP: eero’s app is top of its class. It is easy to use, responsive, and allows for advanced customization (if you want) from anywhere. I love that I can monitor my network and make changes to it while away from my home, allowing me to easily see who is connected and what is using bandwidth on my network. From setup to maintenance the app has everything covered in an elegant but powerful solution. EERO PLUS: This is a new feature that eero began offering, and I find it well worth the $99 per year fee. This is a completely optional service, but expands the capability of your network significantly. The hallmark feature of Plus is its “Advanced Security” feature, which protects your devices connected to your eero network from accessing malicious websites or services and, if you are already infected, can help prevent the spread of the infection or functionality of the virus by blocking its ability to communicate over the internet. This is especially helpful for smart home devices, which are notoriously vulnerable to hacking. It won’t stop everything, but definitely beefs up your internet security. Next, a new beta feature that blocks ads at the network level was recently introduced. This prevents most ads in websites from being displayed - not only speeding up your browsing but also helping to keep you secure by blocking malicious ads that might try to install spyware or track you without permission. Super cool! In addition to those great standard features of eero Plus, eero is also introducing new benefits to Plus users in December 2017. This includes free access to 1Password, a super secure and handy password manager, and a VPN app. The VPN keeps your devices secure when you are outside of your network, allowing you to use free WiFi hotspots at Starbucks and hotels (and more) securely. It is an incredible deal and almost pays for the cost of eero Plus! VALUE: eero is not the cheapest WiFi solution by any means, but it will save you in other ways. eero makes WiFi “set it and forget it”. I don’t have to think about WiFi anymore. It just works, and it’s fast. Constantly rebooting your router is something you’ll stop doing the second you get your eero network set up. New features and updates are happening all the time (especially for Plus users!), which only goes to increase its value over the long lifetime I expect with these. At nearly $500, you can absolutely find cheaper options out there. These alternatives lack eero’s awesome mesh networking, and often have unintuitive user interfaces that require learning to use. I decided to save myself time and hassle and just spring for this Pro System. It was the most expensive networking solution I’ve ever purchased, but also the one that has made me the happiest.

Eero is fantastic

I went from a single router (Asus rt-ac68u) to the Eero gen 2 with one gateway and 2 beacons. In terms of coverage for my 2700 sq ft house, it's not even close. The Eero mesh system covers every room in my house with a solid wifi signal. I've got more than a dozen wifi consuming gadgets spread over the house (Chromecasts, Android phones, a few tablets, a Tivo, a Samsung tv, a couple Amazon Echos, a Google Home, and a couple PCs) and to my knowledge and experience they've all maintained rock solid connections whereas before with the single router, some rooms had dead spots. Eero's support of their product is what makes it 5/5 to me. They have regular, well documented feature/security updates pushed to the Eero app, unlike most routers where you have to hunt for updates if they exist at all. Features added since I've bought it include band steering, local DNS caching, and smart queue management. They have staff actively posting on the Eero subreddit answering questions and making announcements. That kind of ease of use and transparency should be standard for most companies. Eero Plus is an added service that, for $99 a year, adds network security, ad blocking, family profiles (age filters), and subscriptions to Malwarebytes, Encrypt.me, and 1Password. I'd say that without the 3 added subscriptions, this wouldn't be worth the cost, but with them it's actually a pretty good deal. Personally I think the network security and family filters should be free and built in to the cost of the hardware, but whatever. I think the one knock on Eero is that it doesn't perform as well on speed tests than some competitors (Velop, Orbi). There is some truth to this, but real world usage has always been acceptable for me. I don't do wireless gaming or 4k streaming, I run a wired setup from the Eero gateway to my PC which has always been excellent. I think the last point that should be made is that these things just look good. Like Apple design pre-notch good. I'd be annoyed if I had to have my old Asus router out in the open for all to see, but the Eero gateway/beacon just looks good wherever it is to the point where if anyone were to ask about it I'd love to talk about it. The night light for the beacons is also a clever added feature. Not gonna lie, that helped differentiate it from Google's Wifi mesh for me (also I was concerned about Google's history of abandoning products).

One of the best purchases ever!!!

We had such terrible wifi in our house from the moment it was installed. This was using the $200 gateway we have to use with our xfinity cable with phone. We have a three level house, and the router is on the top level. We had spotty internet on the main level, with so much buffering on our Firestick that I usually gave up trying to watch anything with it. We had a terrible connection on the lower level--nearly impossible. We had no wifi to speak of outside the house. About three weeks ago, we installed our Eero system. It took a few minutes. I bridged the gateway, so our wifi is solely via Eero. It's almost miraculous, seriously. We're getting download speeds in the 80's-90's throughout the entire house. I did a speedtest this morning out on the deck, and I got 89.11 down and 13,79 up. This was money well spent! I'd give 10 stars if I could. Total game changer!!!

Actually as good as they say!

Ok, I will admit that I bought these with the full intention of probably having to send them back. Through the years I have tried several different systems to put good wireless throughout our 3-story home. I've used several different routers, and have had an Apple AirPort Extreme and two Airport Express' running (which still provide the backbone in the house for our less needy machine system). But nothing I did could get a good signal into the master bedroom in the back of the house, especially with the main router being in the home office upstairs on the other side of the house. My better half constantly let me know I was a poor excuse of a Network Engineer when she wasn't even able to watch the latest Korean drama in peace while laying in bed. Unpacking - simple and clean. Download and install the app. on your smart phone before you start doing anything as it walks you through the install (and does an incredibly simple and great job of it). Install and setup of the main hub took me all of about 5 minutes with most of that time spent finding an extension cord. As I was replacing an existing wireless setup once I had the system up and running all my iPads and such connected automatically as I had used the same SSID and password. Setting up the Beacons took about 30 minutes, with most the time taken in selecting location so I would have a good mesh of the signal. Again, the App. walks you through every step, and lets you know if you have selected a good spot or if you might want to move a beacon to a different location for a better mesh. The App. is a thing of beauty, with all the information you need right at your fingertips. The stuff you usually want to customize (like the names of the Beacons) are customizable. Once I had all the Beacons set up I went through the house trying to find a weak spot or dead spot. Couldn't find one - not one! Guess I won't be sending this stuff back after all. Sure put a smile on my better half's face! Oh, and is this thing FAST!!! Also, a note about Apple products. I have read the other reviews that say the eero doesn’t work well with Apple products. I don’t know why they are having problems. My system has been up and running for about two months now with zero problems. And it stays connect rock solid to all manner of devices (about 26 I believe) including two iPads, two iPhones, an iMac, a MacBook Pro, a Smart Thermostat, a couple Apple TV’s, a Ring Smart Doorbell and three Ring remote doorbells. Oh, and two of them do double duty as night lights. And the system has updated itself twice that I know of (I would only know as it would tell me after the fact).

Best router I have ever used

I upgrade my routers every year. I work from home so having a fast and reliable network is important to me. I also own some rental properties that require good coverage and serviceability. Out of all the routers I have used, this has been the best. Setup was easy and coverage is great. I can use the app to check who is using the network, even when I'm traveling. Support works on the weekend and is able to solve my issues without paying me around. My only (constructive) criticism is that the subscription service doesn't match the cost, but maybe it's not for my use case. For reference, I had a netgear Orbi and experienced disconnects regularly. Eero is a much better product.

Clear and easy to set-up. Reliable, modern networking for the home

I have a two level, 1900sq ft condo. Apple router for years has been o'l steady. Easy to set up and maintain, but as I've added more and more devices and put more demand on it (like big TV upstairs) it just seems tired. I get stutter or just very poor connection; have even used turned off the wifi on my iphone sometimes when in bed at night because it can't keep up with Instagram etc. So I've been ready for a modern solution. There are a few companies making these so-called mesh systems and I tried the 1st gen Eero without luck. Actually boxed it up and sent it back the first day. I need something that works and works right out of the box. I don't want to spend time with tech support and blah, blah, blah. Too busy for that. Since Amazon makes it easy, I went ahead and took a chance on version 2. Due to the first trouble I had, I planned on following the instructions one step at a time to give it the best chance of working. The software is really nice this round. I had an easy time with it. And I got better guidance on placement of the beacons. I am now "solid" throughout the house with multiple users and no hiccups after 3 days. Plan on selling my Apple router because this is just a lot better.

OUR WORLD JUST CHANGED

We will now be referring to life B.E. (before eero) and A.E. (after eero). From opening the box to full connectivity with two beacons, all it took was about 15 minutes. Most of that was just waiting for eero to do it's thing, which it did like no other device I've owned before. The pure amazement on everyone's faces reminded me of a time when things were actually groundbreaking in a huge way. Forget presents this year, we just scored BIG. Our old house is well loved, but it was not built for wireless connectivity. Metal mesh and plaster throughout, two stories and a basement with lots of walls and concrete everywhere have caused years of frustration. So much money was wasted on routers, upgraded routers, extenders, longer cables, etc. No more! With eero, we now have FULL BARS on EVERY device throughout the entire 2100 sqft house AND out into the yard about 50'. It feels like a dream. If you remember when cell phones or the internet were brand new, you'll remember the first time you made a call without wires on your phone, or connecting to the world through that awful, screeching modem. It was mind-blowing. This is exactly like that, but so much better! If you're even thinking about getting one of these, you absolutely should.

Eero VS Orbi, Velop, Amplifi HD and Google Wifi - Eero still on top!

This is long updated review on 6 different wifi systems and why we picked and are still using Eero. We were very happy with the 1st Gen Eero system and just upgraded to 2nd Gen with 2 beacons and wanted to share our experience to end wifi issues/dead spots in our home. This is our overall experience and perhaps it will help you with your decision. WIFI SYSTEMS PURCHASED: Orbi, Velop, Amplifi HD, Google Wifi, 1st Gen Eero and 2nd Gen Eero with 2 beacons LOCATION: 3000Sq Ft Townhome with at least 45 devices connected at any time. 3D printers, Sonos players in every room and outdoors, Phillips Hue, Amazon Dots, Ooma, Smart TV’s, IOS/Android phones, tablets and computers, Apple Tvs, 10+ POE 4MP Security cameras, Ring/Chime devices and the list goes on. Work remotely so lots of video calls, exchanging, uploading, downloading and working on design files online. My Little Pony and a bevy of others streamed for the little one via Netflix/Hulu etc. ISP is Comcast with 200mbps down and 10mbps up. Wifi dense community of townhomes with lots of interference which affect signal penetration. This was the place where Wifi went to die! SITUATION: Started with Comcast router/modem then tried Comcast modem with Netgear X6, Comcast modem with Netgear X8, Arris SB6190 with Netgear X8 and Netgear extender. Signal was great close to the modem/router but the further away you moved service degraded quite rapidly in our home. Also multiple SSID were a huge pain. Enter the wave of Wifi systems. We researched different products and read reviews on multiple sites. Reviews were too close so we bought the top 6 systems for real life testing in our home. CRITERIA: We bought these test systems with no promotions and no promises of a good review. We established simple criteria for our testing: 1) Product design 2) System setup 3) Ethernet wired backhaul 4) Firmware updates 5) System app 6) Customer service 7) Seamless roaming 8) Throughput/signal strength 9) Conclusion We ranked the systems from 1st to 6th under each criteria. Here are our results. PRODUCT DESIGN: The designs are in different directions. The Orbi is the largest with an industrial design direction. Eero is the shortest an has an Apple-lesque minimal design. The new beacons are much better designed and inconspicuous when compared tot he Amplifi beacons. The nightlight is a welcomed additional feature. The Amplifi main units has a cool techy feel to it with a main unit with a bright LCD screen but thats where the design stopped because the satellite units have a quirky magnetic design - A child magnet because my daughter was always trying to adjust them for us. Google was just simple and quite unassuming. Velop had a modern feel/look to it. We found ourselves drawn to the simple clean design of the Eeros because they blended easily with our decor. (See images) However design is so subjective that it depends on what you like. Ranking: (1st) Eero 2nd and 1st Gen (2nd) Velop (3rd) Google (4th) Orbi (5th) Amplifi SYSTEM SETUP: We set them up using an iPhone 7 Plus except for the Orbi which we used an iMac. We maintained the same room/general location main/satellite units for testing. Orbi setup is through the internet and that was easy and fast and it found the satellites with no issues. Eero set up was easy via the app and it found the satellites with no issues. We had to reposition the Google, Amplifi and Velop satellites during the initial setup for the main units to “see” them - (See Customer service section). After setup we plugged ethernet cables into the Velop, Google and Eero satellites to maximize performance. Orbi and Amplifi do not have this feature. Overall the setup for each 3 unit pack took less than 10mins for Eero/Orbi and less than 30mins for the rest. The 2nd Gen Eero with the updated software have the quickest setup till date. Even better than the previous Eero. Standouts here are Orbi and Eero because set up was simple and straight forward. However the edge goes to Eero due to how simple it was to set up with the app. Ranking: (1st) Eero 2nd and 1st Gen (2nd) Orbi (3rd) Velop (4th) Google (5th) Amplifi ETHERNET WIRED BACKHAUL: The best connection is a wired connection so we wanted a system with the opportunity to hard wire the satellites. Orbi and Amplifi HD don't support wired backhaul. Amplifi HD uses a portion of its bandwidth to communicate between router and satelllite. Orbi has a dedicated band for its communication. Google Wifi, Velop and Eero support ethernet backhaul so you can hardwire all the units. These systems also work wirelessly. With the 2nd Gen Eero you can only have a wired connection with the main unit. The beacons only work wirelessly. Surprisingly the 2nd Gen beacons work better than the 1st Gen - Much better.. (See throughput/Signal section) Ranking: (1st) Eero 2nd and 1st Gen (2nd) Google (3rd)Velop. Other 2 systems do not offer ethernet backhaul FIRMWARE UPDATES: This is the method employed by the manufacturer to improv and add features to your wifi system. With all the systems you have to update them with the latest software out of the box. Orbi was the most difficult because We had to download the update then apply it - It did not work for us the normal way. Velop, Amplifi and Eero worked in the normal way through their respective apps. After the initial firmware update they all updated automatically. This a splendid feature and how new and improved services are added to your wifi systems. Firmware notes and descriptions are always available on the manufacturer website. Ranking: Even across the board SYSTEM APP: The app is where you interact with and glean all the information about your network and devices. Orbi has an app but its basically worthless and you have to use a net based portal to really access and customize the system. Next is the Amplifi app which at the time of testing wasn't so great. Google, Velop and Eero have the most user friendly apps. You can access your system remotely to control all available features. We are not complex users so advanced features like port forwarding etc etc were not a huge selling point to us. Features we looked for in the app were quality of service, devices connections, which nodes were connected to what device, signal strength to each device, guest access, network diagnosis, number of devices connected (easy way to see what device is actually on your network and what device should not be on your network), pausing internet/blocking devices, built in speed tests, device priority setting and device seamless roaming from node to node. With all this in mind Eero App was the winner hands down. The app was well laid out, information was easily visible and accessible and that made it a joy to use Ranking: (1st) Eero (2nd) Google (3rd)Velop (4th) Amplifi (5th) Orbi CUSTOMER SERVICE: With new tech there is always the possibility of issues so going in we knew we might have to deal with potential issues and were ready. We had to spend a couple of hours with each companies customer service for different issues even after the set up process went well. Velop and Orbi customer service appears to be offshore and we had a difficult time explaining and understanding what they were saying and it sounded like they were reading from scripts. Amplifi customer service was through chats and that really did not help much. Google Wifi customer was decent and they are in the US. We were unable to improve the performance in our home and they were sold out so we could not get a replacement. Eero service was and is still light years ahead of the others and they are in the US. We were able to speak with, understand and formulate a plan for our specific situation. It did not feel as if they were reading from scripts but more trying to understand our issue, troubleshoot and resolve. They followed up with calls and emails to make sure our issues were addressed. We felt that if we had any issues in the future we knew who to call. With the 2nd Gen we did not need to contact customer service as everything went smoothly. Ranking: (1st) Eero (2nd) Google (3rd)Amplifi (4th) Orbi (5th) Velop SEAMLESS ROAMING: A major selling point of Wifi systems is seamless roaming/handover between nodes. Basically as you move through your home/office the systems connects your device to the node that is closest or the one that gives it the best signal. Its actually fun to watch the switch offer through the app. Theoretically Orbi, Amplifi and Velop state that your devices switch between nodes for best service but offer no way to view the transitions. No way for you to see what node you a device is connected to at any time. This is another area where Google and Eero outshine the competition. Both apps tell you which node your device is connected to. However Eero goes a few steps further and shows you what band is being used, signal strength of connected node and activity levels. As the signal strength weakens (goes from 5 green bars to 1 red bar) you can watch as the devices switches to the next node. Eero unleashed new software and it shines with the 2nd Gen. The switches are quicker and smoother. It was fun watching as Eero switched nodes as we moved from room to room. We actually turned that into a game to see which node would step up and take over. Ranking: (1st) Eero 2nd Gen (2nd) Eero 1st Gen (3rd) Google. Other 3 systems did not offer the ability to monitor THROUGHPUT/SIGNAL STRENGTH: With our old units we had lots of inconsistent signals and loss of speed. We pay for 200 down and 10 up and old systems never even got close. All 5 systems tested improved upon our situation. From last to first we would rank them as follows. 5) Google Wifi never gave us more than 50% of upload speeds. 4) Amplifi gave us about the same as Google wifi. 3) Velop was not consistent and varied between 50% and 96%. 2) Orbi was also inconsistent and varied between 70% and 100%. 1) Eero provided 100-120% consistently however the new system with the beacons provided 110 - 135% consistently. Even though we got signal improvements with all the units the differentiator was “consistency of signal, speed and connection”. Hands down best performer were both Eero systems. We got consistent speeds at each node and at all corners of our home. The Eero system with the beacons connected slightly faster. Unlike Orbi and Velop the Eero systems did not cut in and out or have lapses of slow speed. They were also consistently faster than all the other units. Ranking: (1st) Eero 2nd and 1st Gen (2nd) Orbi (3rd) Velop (4th) Amplifi (5th) Google EERO VS EERO The 2nd Gen was slightly faster, smoother, quicker to set up. However the main difference here is ethernet ports. The first generation 3 pack has a total of 6 ports - 2 on each unit. The newer system has just 2 ports on the main unit and no ports on the beacons. If you need ports at ever Eero location the new version with beacons will not work for you. If most of your devices are wired and you need a stronger consistent Wifi signal then the newer units perform better than the first and will be great. The Eero pro with 3 units would be the best of both worlds and we have that on order and will update the review when we get that. We switched from the 1st Gen to the 2nd Gen because we have most of our devices wired and just needed a strong wifi system. The new system with the beacons are much stronger than the old 3 pack system. In our home the beacon system is so strong that we won't need to add more whereas we added extra units of the 1st generation IMAGES: We have switched from using our 5 1st Gen to 3 2nd Gen Eeros (Eero and 2 beacons). We included images of our Eero locations (Gen 1 and 2) as well as size compared icon for the beacons and the night light feature. We also included images showing the differences between the 1st and 2nd Gen main units. 2nd Gen has a physical reset button and now charges with USB C. The beacons once plugged in are basically inconspicuous. We now only use 1 main unit and 2 beacons. Awesome! CONCLUSION: For our home we ended up with an Eero system because it won in all the categories that mattered to us. We loved the minimal design, easy set up, wired ethernet backhaul, fluid app, seamless roaming and customer service Eero provided. In real life use in our home Eero (1st or 2nd) just worked with no complications. This is our Eero experience in our setting. Now all of us can do what ever we want with wifi anywhere in and outside our home. We hope the review will help you and we will help with questions you may have. Eero gets a full recommendation from us. Hands down the best overall system out there by far. Great job Eero!!

Hands down #1 mesh system available

It all starts with strong, reliable and secure WiFi coverage!!! When I decided to build a smart home ecosystem, my thoughts were to build from the outside in, thus allowing me to ensure greatest device flexibility and compatibility for future expansion. I studied and followed reviews of every available mesh system for 3 months before making a decision. Choosing Eero and Eero Plus has proven to be the single most important choice as the backbone of my operation. Prior to Eero, WiFi in my home was horrendous. I have always subscribed to very high speed (.5-1G) internet but could never get more than 2-3% performance from it. Everything on our system would buffer constantly, even standing next to the router. Now we have no dropped signals and achieve 80-90% even in the backyard and front street. None of the devices on our system experience buffering. The idea of mesh was enough to sell me on Eero, but considering the low fee for having Eero Plus as the all inclusive anti-virus for every device on my network was icing-on-the-cake. I’ve found that many people don’t understand the importance of having active antivirus, phishing, bot, spy and malware protection for every device on their network. Especially televisions, locks, thermostats, WiFi plugs and switches as these devices are highly susceptible to being hacked. Eero provides live protection from these attacks. The sprinkles are the ability to “lock-down” and limit my teenagers use, guest access and viewable content. Might I add that customer service is impeccable. It really does seem like this system would have been invented by Apple. The Team at Eero gives “live” support. Having added Alexa and compatible components, I have designed a highly complex yet simple to operate smart home ecosystem. **Update** Dec 18, 2017** Eero Plus has gone above and beyond by allowing me to add their "anti-everything" to the three laptops that frequently leave my home. This means that while out on wifi-hotspots Eero is actively working to ensure my device/data integrity. Hands down best mesh system and customer serivce (period)

I've owned every mesh router under the sun. This is it. FINALLY.

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your WiFi. After years of going through WiFi routers I have FINALLY found a mesh network that works in this haunted house.. I live in an all brick house. 4000 sq feet. 2 stories. This has been a daunting task for as long as I have lived here for about 5 years. Constantly plagued with wifi problems. No matter what. I've gone through a stack of 10 different wifi dongle/adapters over the years. I have a router graveyard in my basement of very high end routers (they all still work, just not in this house lol). Including Netgear Orbis (2 router mesh), Linksys Velop (3 router mesh), ASUS RT-AC3200, Apple Airport Extreme, ASUS RT-N66U, Securifi Almond, TP-Link AC3200 Archer. Orbis would drop out. It couldn't even get a stable connection 20 feet away. The Velop system, similar issues. You'd think with 3 Meshed network, it would work better than the 2 Orbis. Nope. Orbis has no flexibility whatsoever. The channel selection process was horrific. Another great thing about this, the size! It's so small! It's by far the best performance I've ever measured. Also, the setup is the EASIEST I have EVER done. Typically, when Netgear or Linksys say go download their App - its so easy, it really never is. There's always some issue. Eero's, is a company that is thinking outside the box. They know the problems that plague users today. This new generation of eeros, absolutely demolishes all previous mesh networking competetion - utterly and completely. I'm so extremely happy. I used to have to run a 150+ foot Ethernet cable, all the way from upstairs to downstairs. Across the kitchen, down the stairswell, into a guest room. It was awful. No longer! For 5 years, my wife would not stop talking about that cable. We're renewing our wedding vows tonight.
