The Performance, connectivity and easy set up are great. I bought this Router to replace my ASUS router that stopped working after 6 months. The Value and overall quality and performance beat my old router. I have better speeds and reliability to all my devices, I was pleasantly surprised and I plan on getting a couple more extenders for my set up. Plus the size and appearance are nice and sleek.

I was skeptical at first as the installation instructions said disconnect the modem first. But then there is no internet, so how does eero connect? No worries! Eero uses Bluetooth to communicate and connect. I bought the 4 pack, only $30 more than the 3 pack (6+ version) but the coverage of the house was so good I didn’t bother installing the 4th unit. Eero says my internet speed is ultra fast. BTW the eero units replaced the mesh system from G——- that has been acting up and would often require resetting- a real pain in the butt. The G——- system requires using a master app, G——- Home, which was clunky to use. Why would I need to use the G——- Home app when I didn’t have any other G——- devices installed? Very authoritarian. Eero is great, so far, and the app is so easy to use.

First, I would say, the install was fairly easy. However, you need to have cell reception in order to register and set up the eero mesh network gateway. This is not the case where I live because I have terrible cell reception. I found a very helpful post that explained how to keep your old router active and plug in the eero Gateway through the ethernet port of the old router in order to get signal to set up the new Gateway. Once that was set up, I took away the old router, rebooted the modem and the gateway, and it was smooth sailing. Most of the connections went fairly smoothly. I kept the same network name and password and anything from that network connected rather seamlessly. I did have to go into each Smart home app to reconnect any devices now that the mesh system works on dual band rather than separate SSID distinctions. My echo devices seemed to know what to do. Anything on the 2.4 had to have network name and password set up since it all operates on one network. My first complaint is that the 6+ mesh network is dual band and anything that requires 2.4 GHz needs some extra help. In settings under troubleshooting, you can disable the 5 GHz band temporarily while connecting the 2.4 GHz devices. It’s not completely obvious unless you poke around in the app. This was very helpful until it came to the my Q garage door opener. My biggest complaint and the he reason for only 4 stars, is that there is a known issue that the eero 6 networks do not play well with MyQ devices. It is disappointing because Amazon key delivery relies heavily on MyQ openers. I did a deep dive through Google to find possible solutions. There are several listed and I’ve tried each one. In fact, when you google MyQ + eero, you will see a slew of sites that discuss the exact problem and possible solutions. This included temporarily disabling the 5 GHz band, disabling WPA 3 in the developer options, unplugging any additional mesh nodes other than the gateway, using your old router as a bridge through the gateway, uninstalling the MyQ app and downloading again, forgetting the original device and adding it from scratch. None of those worked for me. I am stuck on the “searching for available networks” screen and no further. It does not even let me see ANY networks or choose them. The MyQ worked flawlessly until installing the eero. I wish Amazon had 1) made the issue known on the product page and 2) worked a little further with MyQ to troubleshoot this issue for a solution prior to calling this a human friendly set up item. I purchased the MyQ from Amazon, so an algorithm to search past purchases for MyQ and shopping cart additions could have led to a warning before spending so much money and time for a customer. For anyone without a MyQ, and looking for simple “plug and play”, this is a good option. My coverage is way better than before with using extenders. Speeds are very good. Re-integrating my smart devices was mostly painless after discovering the temporarily disable 5 GHz feature. I love the speeds and coverage a lot. Eero has good tech support though they couldn’t solve my one big issue. Outside of that issue, this is a good network. At least for the two days I’ve been using.

This is a revelation. Laugh at me, but I had two NETGEAR WNAP310 (sophisticated but dated Wireless N business-class PoE APs) for a two story 2500sf 1920s era home. I ran them off of a GS108TP Gb PoE switch with one in the center of the 2nd story and one in a backyard office building, about 100ft apart. The APs were connected to Cat5e back to the switch. Comcast gives me 100Mbps cable service (fluctuates) and both the modem and the Unifi EdgeRouter were rated for Gigabit. Devices included 2 PCs, 4 Apple phones/tablets, 2 Geeni smart outlets, 2 Nest cameras and 2 smoke alarms, and Amazon Echo family devices. Performance was fine near the APs, but mobile devices did not transfer across APs well, the performance in the backyard/outbuildings suffered because the devices were constantly confused about which AP to use, and there were dead spots in the corners of the house. In essence, I was overprovisioned from the ISP and gated at the edge due to the Wireless N technolgoy with no smarts about 2.4 or 5Ghz, delivering mostly 10Mbs performance more than 50 ft away from the APs. After increasingly strident feedback from my internal customers began exploring options. Standardizing on Unifi gear meant more cost and network management (and evenings tinkering) than I want any more. The eero products looked good, brought mesh tech, worked with Alexa and smart home devices. Immense performance difference with just 2 eeros (one replacing the router and the outbuilding AP and one replacing the upstairs AP). 100Mbps speeds from everywhere. Simple UI in the app; not as customizable (no router CLI) but does enough - like custom DNS - with everything I wanted. Lessons learned: 1. Using the wired network for backhaul was a good idea. Get the traffic off of the wireless by using the eero routers if you can plug them in. 2. Use the Beacons if you need to reach farther and have a power outlet but DON'T have an RJ45 port. 3. The coverage is a lot better than I expected (YMMV). My house is on a 6500sf lot (65x100) and with two eero routers roughly inline with the long axis, I have coverage for 80%. Another in the last third of the lot would be ideal but I don't need to cover the street and the sidewalk. 4. I expect eero 6 (500Mbps) would probably produce the same results, but the 6+ (900Mbps) means I'm ready for Gigabit ISP package. For me, it means a MUCH faster LAN, lots less tinkering, and less hardware required than I planned. I bought a 3-pack of 6+ routers to use the Cat5e as backhaul. This was a good idea
