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.

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
