Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh wifi system - Supports internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps, Coverage up to 4,000 sq. ft., Connect 100+ devices, 2-pack

I’ve gone through my fair share of networking setups, and let me tell you: finding the right combination of modem and router can be a nightmare.Previously, I had Cox’s Gigablast (coaxial) paired with an ARRIS Surfboard S33 modem and an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro router. If you’re on cable, you’re not going to do better than an ARRIS Surfboard. It's rock solid. But ASUS? That’s another story. For a tri-band WiFi 6 router, the range was absolute garbage.Fast forward to my recent move. I switched to AT&T Fiber with the BGW320-500 gateway, and guess what? More disappointment. The UI was terrible, the system was locked down to dual-band, and the range was a struggle. My previous place was a two-story townhome, but now I’m in a one-story home with more square footage plus a larger lot where I plan to install security cameras. The last thing I needed was weak WiFi coverage.After doing my research, I landed on the eero Pro 6E (3-pack). Honestly, I couldn’t be happier.Here’s the thing about the eero Pro 6E: It just works. No complicated setup, no fine-tuning needed. You plug it in, follow a few steps in the app, and that’s it. If you’re the kind of person who loves to tweak every setting on your network, this isn’t the hardware for you. But if you want reliable, high-performance WiFi without the headaches, this is hands-down one of the best mesh systems out there.The range is excellent, the speeds are fast, and I finally have full-home coverage, indoors and out. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or setting up smart home devices, the eero Pro 6E handles it all effortlessly. On my Apple devices that support 6E, I'm getting more than 1 Gbps up and down on wireless. That's incredible.If you’re tired of routers that promise a lot but underdeliver, do yourself a favor and get the eero Pro 6E. You won’t regret it.

I have never seen anything so easy to install/set-up. It is basically plug and play. Here is a tip. If your current wifi has a name and password, use that same name and password for the EERO. I did and I did not have to do anything to any of my devices. They all (20+) connected with no problem. Performance is great and so far no issues.

I've been using the system for a number of months now. I had an aging Netgear Orbi system that was working well enough but due to the way the system works, it was difficult to get it to work with the smart devices in my house. I have a number of smart locks, security cams and outlets that had issues hooking up. I decided to change to the eero system. I have a main unit and three satellites. The main router is on the top floor of my two story house and I have one in the basement. I have quick speeds throughout the house no problem. I'm pretty good with tec stuff but was worried that I'd have to go through setting up each device again on my system when I switched over. I got each of the eero devices up and running with the latest firmware. Set them up with the same SSID and PW's of my previous system. I unplugged my old system and restarted the eero's and everything just, worked. All my devices connected. I was expecting to have to manually add one of my security cameras or maybe a smart outlet. I'm using a few smart systems like Netvue, VeSync, U home and Gosund. They all work without issues. I was little shocked frankly. I was expecting some sort of issue I'd have to start googling but no. I wish there was a web base app but it's not a big issue everything is through a phone app. I pay My ISP for a 1GB Download and am seeing just about that wired and wireless 650+ MBps so it's plenty fast. I have a MoCa device to my Nvidia Shield streaming device and that's also seeing 950+MBps. It's been very stable, I haven't noticed any drops or speed reductions. Not that it matters too much to me but each of the stations are pretty small and look pretty good compared to my old ones. All in all a worthwhile upgrade for me.

I'm only two days in to this, but I want to leave a review to help others who went through the same ordeal I have.This Eero Pro 6E has replaced an Orbi R750 system which I purchased in 2021 and used with two satellites. The Eero has some pros and cons over the Orbi.First, the reason for my replacement: while the Orbi still gives good coverage and speed, the stability of the wifi network has significantly decreased in the last year or so. I've done a lot of research on this and the only thing I can think of is that the Orbi 750 is rated for "40+" devices. I have "Smart Homed" my house and have 40-50 devices in total connected. Additionally, my wife owns a hair salon which operates out of our home so we have a guest wifi for that. So, I think that while theoretically the Orbi should still be fine, in practice it can't deal with more than 40 or so devices and starts "cycling through them" causing some devices to disconnect and reconnect repeatedly. I live in a rural area where cell signal is lousy, so you notice it very quickly when your device loses connectivity - especially if you are streaming. What good is my 65" OLED TV with wifi sound and my $300 a month cable and internet bill if I can't use the damn thing?So, on the Eero. I bought the three unit package since it was on sale (I'd actually initially bought the 2 unit package, and they went on sale the day afterwards so I returned it and ordered the 3 set. One complaint is that while I think you should get a "bulk deal" by ordering a 3 pack over a 2 pack over a single unit, but it's a huge difference. The 3 pack was $350 which equals $116 each. To buy just one if you misjudged how many you need, would be another $160.)Set up was quite simple, and was all done through the app. So it gets +1 for ease of use. As others have noted, there is no web log in and without the Eero plus subscription, there isn't much beyond set up and maintain the wifi. For the majority of users this is likely to not be a problem. Due to my recent wifi challenges, I wanted to use the analytics function of the app to see how the new coverage compared to the old. You can't do that without the plus subscription. So that's strike 1. However, you can set up the Guest network and basic things like that with the regular app access, so at least there's that.Likewise, adding each additional unit was pretty easy. What I recommend you do is download an app like WiFiman (which seems pretty legit) after you set up your first Eero and walk around with the shortcut function on in the WiFiman app which will tell you the signal strength as you move about. I would say right about the limit of where it stops being either "Excellent" or "Good" is where you need to place your next Eero unit. "Excellent" ensures the best quality, but if you have a lot of space to cover you'd need to stretch it to "Good". I will note here that unlike the Orbi, which has a router and two (or more) satellites, each Eero unit is functionally identical, so it doesn't matter which one you grab first, and which one are the satellites. It's easy to add the next Eero device from the app even if you didn't immediately select "Add another device" after the first one. Like I said, I recommend walking around and getting an idea of your coverage needs before adding the next ones anyway.So that's a +1, again for ease of use. However, I notice compared to the Orbi that its range and speed drops off much faster the further you get. So, you're not going to get the overall quality range. I noticed this while out doing yardwork this morning - my phone would stay on the Orbi wifi a hundred or so feet from the house. It loses the Eero wifi (or, the quality goes way down) at the same range.So this is another point that I guess I knew, but is important to remember: at range, the speed at which you transmit decreases despite what your internet connection actually is. So, for example, my service provider gives me 1000 mb/S service which is reasonably fast. Standing next to the Eero unit which is connected to my modem via the ethernet cable gives me close to that speed. But, get a dozen feet away with a wall in the way, and you are down to about 400 mb/s. As stated, the Orbi has better range and the speed keeps up better.But what good is range and speed if you are constantly getting booted off the Wifi? Supporting my max device theory, I'd often get booted off the Orbi wifi somewhat predictably at various times in the day. Last night, on the new Eero network, it didn't happen! I was able to stay connected the whole time. (As was my mother in law in the in-law apartment, so not having to deal with that is a major plus!). So stability is a +2 on the score scale.Finally, if you're like me and have several dozen Wifi devices you don't need to worry about the new Eero units and compatibility - as long as you name your new Wifi network the same and keep the same password, the devices don't know the difference. They connect to the new network the same way they'd go back to your old one as if it were nothing more than a power outage.So, ultimately the Eero 6E is a little slower and gives a little less coverage than the Orbi 750....but unlike the Orbi it says it will take "100+" devices...and it *works*. At least so far. That said, I'd definitely get it on sale. While functionality is always key, the fact is the features are much less than many competitors. It might not be worth the full price.
