Eero 6 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router

When I stopped renting my modem/Wi-Fi router from the cable company I chose a stand-alone modem and Wi-Fi router. I started with a single original eero unit and it had better coverage of my home than the cable company combo unit as the salesman had promised. I had powerline units to repeaters all over the house with the cable company unit and when I had the single eero unit. One at a time I added additional eero units until I had 5 to cover most of my 5000 square foot H shaped home. I was finally rid of the troublesome wireline units with repeaters. My home is difficult for radio signals because of its shape, a number of interior brick walls, metal cabinets with metal backsplashes in three rooms... I just replaced the 5 original eero units with a 3 pack of eero 6+ ... MoreWhen I stopped renting my modem/Wi-Fi router from the cable company I chose a stand-alone modem and Wi-Fi router.

My home is difficult for radio signals because of its shape, a number of interior brick walls, metal cabinets with metal backsplashes in three rooms... I just replaced the 5 original eero units with a 3 pack of eero 6+ units. Throughout the the parts of the house we spend the most time in we get the same fast (250-300 MBps) that we get in our den a few feet from the modem and base eero unit. The 2 satellite eero units are in place mostly because our TIVO-Mini units don't work well with Wi-Fi. The rooms with the satellite eero units get an adequate Wi-Fi signal for most of our needs without the satellites but being able to use a network cable to the Tivo-Minis allows us to flawlessly stream HD and 4K television. The setup was quick and easy. I already had the app on my phone. I deleted the old network from the app and unplugged the old units. The app gives clear instructions that were simple to follow. The new network was up and running in no time. The one thing I would do differently is keep the name and password of the old network. I didn't really consider that by giving the new network a different name that I would have to individually log each Wi-Fi using device into the new network. I couldn't be happier with my new 6+ version of the eero. I have 3 units providing better coverage than my 5 original units were. Simple setup. I've never had a single issue with eero equipment in the past. Problem free technology, what else could one wish for!

The Eero6+ is the latest Eero Mesh Network. I have had the previous version of the Eero 6 and now have upgraded to the Eero 6+.What is the difference? Is it worth it? Well, in my case, yes, completely worth it. Physically the units look the same to me, barring that the 3-pack now has three identical units like the Eero Pro series, each with two ethernet ports and one power jack. The most significant change is in the internals, as the Eero 6+now supports 160 MHz channel in the 5 GHz band for faster data transmission.So should you buy this? If you have the original Eero that came out in 2016, then yes, as it will soon no longer be supported with updates but will continue to work. If you have a 2nd generation Eero or Eero Pro (tri-band) and have internet speeds ... MoreThe Eero6+ is the latest Eero Mesh Network.

If you have the original Eero that came out in 2016, then yes, as it will soon no longer be supported with updates but will continue to work. If you have a 2nd generation Eero or Eero Pro (tri-band) and have internet speeds greater than 500mbps, then the Eero 6+ or 6E makes a huge difference as they now support up to 1 gigabit. If you want to get into mesh networking, then you cannot go wrong with Eero’s and should get this, and I’ll tell you why.The core tenets of an Eero are its simplicity and stability. My Eero units have been stable internet mesh points that rarely require any rebooting or messing around once set up. The setup process is quite simple, and the app walks you through the step-by-step process. When connected and set up, the WiFi coverage is stable, fast and seamless and just that it works everywhere without dropouts. The onboard parental controls, as part of Eero Secure, are an extra cost. Still, they come packed with useful tools to help protect your internet experience and provide a margin of reassurance on data usage and reporting. I love the per-device restrictions and customisation available to the end user. This is significantly better than other options on the market, and Eero makes this part of the experience enjoyable, and it is detailed enough that one can pair it down to individual devices.In my situation, the new Eero 6+ allows me to expand the network easily. The availability of ethernet ports on the back of the mesh nodes means I can easily access and expand my wired network by connecting it over the WiFi network. Even though my internet speeds are far slower than the 1 gigabit, most of my data transmission is internal, and that's where the added bandwidth provided by the Eero 6+ comes in handy. The new routers support higher WiFi bandwidth that allows for greater speeds on my internal network, all while handling the internet. Internally the new Eero 6+ supports AX3000, which equates to about 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and 2400 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. This means more available speed to share between your devices and within your network. Overall WiFi transfer speeds doubled over the internal network, and the internet still was as fast as it was before, but that's because I have a 200 Mbps internet connection.So should you get it? It's an unequivocally yes. The Eero mesh systems are some of the easiest to set up, stable, reliable and feature-rich mesh routers I have used. They support Zigbee, so home automation is helped out by improving your WiFi connectivity. Each Eero mesh unit can support up to 50 devices on the Zigbee network, and if you use amazon smart speaker devices, you can control your home via voice. Zigbee allows you to use smart lights, locks, switches, plugs and sensors, allowing a lived-in look when not at home.Overall this is a must-have for anybody working from home. The ability to extend your WiFi network across your home and provide a stable internet connection anywhere is a godsend. I highly recommend buying it. Improve your internet experience by having wifi everywhere. Eero is the only hassle-free way to do mesh WiFi for the non-technical consumer.

The Eero 6+ AX-3000 is a 3 pack, dual band mesh wifi 6 system that is easy to set up, fast, and provides excellent range capable of handling at least a 3000 square foot house. Set up and control of the system is done entirely through an app downloaded to your Iphone or Android phone. In my case, it was an Iphone. Set up allows you to keep the SSID and password from your previous network which had been a Velop tri band mesh system. I found this tremendously helpful since all of the 25 or so devices that I have immediately recognized the new network without additional configuration. The first of the 3 pack devices is connected to your cable modem, etc. and is configured during the initial setup. The additional 2 devices can be configured during initial set up or any ... MoreThe Eero 6+ AX-3000 is a 3 pack, dual band mesh wifi 6 system that is easy to set up, fast, and provides excellent range capable of handling at least a 3000 square foot house.

The additional 2 devices can be configured during initial set up or any time later through the app.I ended up using only 2 of the 3 pack devices since the 3rd one would have been overkill for my 2200 square foot house unless I wanted to extend the network deep into the backyard or my neighbor’s yard. As I mention, I previously had a two pack, tri band Velop mesh system. This system had served me well for several years, however, I have recently acquired several wifi 6 devices and the Velop system was not wifi 6.I have about 25 devices on my system including 4 HDTVs which I constantly stream. In actual operation, the eero system felt very quick and no buffering occurred. Range was also excellent exceeding my previous Velop system. I have 1 gigabyte per second internet coming into the house. About 20 feet from the router and in the same room as the router, I was able to achieve about 900mbps on my laptop compared to about 750mbps with the previous Velop system. A story below the router and through 3 walls, I achieved around 250mbps compared to 200mbps with the previous system.I you are a heavy user of video or other data intensive devices and want a network that is easy to set up, fast, and with great range, I highly recommend the Eero 6+ AX3000.
