Amazon eero 6 mesh wifi system - Supports internet plans up to 500 Mbps, Coverage up to 4,500 sq. ft., Connect 75+ devices, 3-pack (3 eero 6 routers)

I love products that simply work. They are easy to setup and do what they say.This product has good speed, good range and easily joined my network.The app is intuitive and if you have easy setup turned on in the app, this unit will join the network automatically after plugging it in.It is compatible with all versions of the Eero family. In my house we have a mix from WiFi 7 through to WiFi 6.They are a great deal now since the is version is a few years old it still fast.

I originally had a Google Wifi (wifi5) and it was time to consider for an upgrade as I felt like I was needing to add more access points to maintain the speed around the house. I tried quite a variety of wifi6 brands (Tplink deco, and Netgear nighthhawk) and they all had their shortcomings and I was not going to pay $299 for the new Nest Wifi 6E, so as my last resort I said let me try the Eero since already being in the Amazon echo system. I was quite shocked how easy it was to set this up, and I love the clean lines and size of the units as you can display them on any counter or hide them if you don't want to see it. The app was quite easy on the eyes and gives you features that are important. I didn't really have a need to for their "subscription" features as I was just looking for a Wifi6 system that was reliable and gave me good coverage. With this system to cover about (1400 sq ft) I only needed a router + repeater (which claims to cover up to 3000 sq ft) which pretty much doubled my speeds that I was getting before in every area of the home. Imagine with Google Wifi I needed (3) of them just to keep up with coverage. I had issues with some older devices that only work with 2.4 Ghz, but the app under "troubleshooting" has a feature where you can "pause" 5 Ghz so you can give your legacy device a chance to connect with 2.4 Ghz first and then once connected resume 5 Ghz features. The ones I got were "dual band" which honestly was enough for me. If you can afford it, go for the "tri band" which gives you that extra channel so the units have a dedicated channel to communicate with one another. I mean for a 1400 sq ft, a dual band system works perfectly fine, but if you go larger square footage or a lot of dead zones is when you might consider tri-band. Again Eero is not meant for "advanced" users, so if you are looking to tweak or do extra things out of the ordinary of the normal use look at TP-Link or Asus, but this just works if you want something that you hook up and works very reliably. I have not needed to reach out to support yet so I can't vouch for that, but whenever I had glitches here and there I was able to figure it out myself by rebooting the router or googling for additional features to enable.

This system could not have been simpler to set up and once I figured out the best place for the extenders, I now have internet access throughout my whole house. No dead spots at all, like I did with the cable modem/router placed in a central position (well, as central as I could get). For reference, my house is 2800 sq ft spread over 2.5 stories. My modem and the eero hub (router) are back in my 2nd floor bonus room "office" where they belong, one extender is on the 3rd floor where my husband is currently WFH, and the other extender is in a 2nd floor bedroom at the opposite end of the house from the hub. I tried putting that one on the first floor, but because of construction (beams, studs, etc.) and noise interference from kitchen appliances it actually works better on the second floor because it's directly above the family room where a lot of internet is used (phones, tablets, occasional laptop, roku). I see a lot of complaints about download speeds, but I get the 200+ Mbps that my internet plan advertises and that is more than sufficient. When I was using the Spectrum-provided router that's built in to the modem. I got 50-75 Mbps at best on Wi-Fi, 125 Mbps with an ethernet cord. The extenders don't always get the highest speed, but they still get over 100 Mbps (close to the ethernet hookup with the Spectrum router). Also, at any given time there are 13 active devices on the system - more when my older daughter is home from college or my husband is using the 3rd floor printer and/or his personal laptop. We have a roku on every floor and none have issues with buffering anymore.The units themselves are unobtrusive, especially if you get the brackets Amazon sells (see photo). I like that you can turn off the LED light, which I've done on the one that's in the bedroom. I have a number of wireless phone chargers and I can't use any of them in the bedroom because the LED indicators are too bright. The only thing I would caution is making sure the hub is placed on a hard surface with ample airflow/ventilation around it because it does get a little warm. But as I mentioned before, it's small and nicely designed so even sitting out on my desk it doesn't take up much space and looks attractive (see photo).The app is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate. There is nothing that comes to mind that I've had problems with as far as the app is concerned. I do find it hilarious that I can shut off everyone's internet from anywhere because I have the app on my phone, but that's just my twisted sense of humor. Seriously, it is nice to have that feature in the instance that my younger daughter needs to focus on schoolwork and I can shut off her access if necessary. I haven't had to do that yet because just the threat is enough to keep her on task. There are also other parental controls that you can set, but I have a 17yo at home and a 20yo at college so that's not really a thing I need.I got the eero 6 system before Christmas when it was on sale, but having used it and being so pleased with its performance I would still recommend it at the current price point. It's still less expensive than several of the other systems reviewed and recommended by c|net. Which, incidentally, is where I found the eero after having looked at the Google mesh system and one offered by Monoprice.com. I can't say the eero is better or worse than any other mesh system since it's the only one I've tried, but I can definitely recommend based on my experience with it. If for some reason I needed to buy another one, I would do it in a heartbeat.
