Eero Pro 6E AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System (Model S010211) - White (2-Pack)

I bought a Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 (Combo, I review it here as well) that gives my whole house Wi-Fi 6 (Not as good as I thought).In my situation, I needed a cheap device that provided Wi-Fi 6E for my office second floor garage to avoid congestion, I have an Alienware M15 R7 and I need it work reliably fast.This is what I did:I plugged to power the device, then I used a cat8 cable from my gateway combo to the eero following the instructions, the setup though the app was very easy and fast. I didn't have to do AP mode or anything else, my Netgear kept working as a router and the eero got online like another router with the SSID I set up. You have to give it some time to work properly and connect all the devices you want in the right frequency, it is all auto ... MoreI bought a Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 (Combo, I review it here as well) that gives my whole house Wi-Fi 6 (Not as good as I thought).In my situation, I needed a cheap device that provided Wi-Fi 6E for my office second floor garage to avoid congestion, I have an Alienware M15 R7 and I need it work reliably fast.This is what I did:I plugged to power the device, then I used a cat8 cable from my gateway combo to the eero following the instructions, the setup though the app was very easy and fast. I didn't have to do AP mode or anything else, my Netgear kept working as a router and the eero got online like another router with the SSID I set up. You have to give it some time to work properly and connect all the devices you want in the right frequency, it is all auto detect and auto setup, and this is where my problems started, I did not see 2.4Ghz or 5GHz or 6GHz, only one SSID. I had to restart my laptop like 3 times, had to call eero support, they did a few things but....I want my devices connected to the band I want, not to the band the device think is the best for my equipment. I know this is a feature most mesh system have but I also think this is a feature all Wi-Fi systems should have: Separate the bands, please!!!So, I tested one device only and this is my opinion:Pros:The setup is easy, the app is easy to use, the range I dare to say that was better than my Netgear seriously, when I was close to the eero the speed was the same than a wired connection. If you need two or more of this device use wired backhaul, you will get great speeds.Cons:This device does not separate the Wi-Fi bands, that's my only concern and why I had to return it.

This system has been a nightmare. I have it installed at my house, that is 3400 sq ft; and at my bosses house that is roughly 5000 sq ft.I have so many issues with these pucks periodically just dropping connection for a minute, and then pop right back on. I get on with Tech Support, and they tell me to move the puck because something is interfering. I can only move these pucks to so many different locations and still, random drops.Truly, they are horrible. There only response to the drops is, "move the puck." I'm sorry, but I have and it doesn't work.I saw where someone on Reddit said they had a bad unit and Eero is replacing it. Someone replied and said they've been on their 3rd replacement, meaning it isn't the puck, it's the software or hardware.I wish I ... MoreThis system has been a nightmare.

But I'm holding out hope that Eero gets off their bottoms and actually creates a fix for this.

Had a little trouble during initial install. Called for help and solved it instantly. This unit combines all frequencies into only one SSID. This was awkward for me since I had separate networks for each frequency ( 2.4 and 5.1MHz) with different names. This meant I had to reprogram equipment on the 5.1MHz network (SSID) to the name of the original 2.4MHz networks there were less of those than ones in the 2.4 network . So I used the same name and password for the single EERO network and all 2.4 MHz equipment connected seamlessly. Again I had to reconnect ( reprogram) the 5.1 MHz equipment to the new network name.If I had it to do over again, I would have chosen a system with the capability of multiple SSID’s since my original system had multiple SSID’s.

Other than that, the EERO system works well. An ideal system for replacing a single SSID application.The original speed of my WiFi was 400. With the old router, the WiFi speed 40-ft away was 75. With the EERO, it was around 350-375.
