eero 6 mesh wifi router - Supports internet plans up to 900 Mbps, Coverage up to 1,500 sq. ft., Connect 75+ devices, 1-pack

Easy set up. Smaller than my old one so it took up less space. No more of the dropped streaming.

I repair and refurbish computers. For basic browsing and other light duty networking tasks, the eero mesh system provides adequate coverage. However, I have found that for heavy downloads, including emergency operating system updates to fix issues , I have to move the computer closer to the base. The difference in download speed is substantial. The network speed may vary depending what else is taking place on the mesh network, but as said, in critical situations I don't hesitate to move the computer closer to the base for a substantial improvement in download speed. When a computer operating system issue can only be solved with a download, network speed is paramount.Note: To enhance my eero network's usefulness, I installed a second eero base in my computer workspace. An eero base unit has two Ethernet connectors that I use with computers that either have no WiFi or have WiFi that is not functioning. The second base also functions as mesh network extender for other computers and other devices in my work area. It's nice having this flexibility.

I first bought this back in November, and tried setting it up, but hit a snag. The Eero Android app has a really nice setup walkthrough process, but it kept telling me that the Eero couldn't connect. I didn't get around to looking into it again until today, when I ran into the same issue. But this time, I realized I could call Eero support.I had to wait ~15 minutes on the phone, but then the technician I spoke to was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to look into what was going on on the backend of our account, and he could see what was going wrong, and remedy it from his end. (I'm fuzzy on the details here.) After his help, I was able to finish setting up Eero router correctly, and connect to the new wifi network.And it turns out its range is AMAZING! The Eero router is in the front of our house, and I want internet to reach out into our back yard and to the cottage at the back of our yard. I figured I'd need to buy another Eero extender to get the internet out that far, but in my quick testing a few minutes ago, I was able to load a Youtube video with nearly no lag at all at the back of my yard. My housemate isn't home so I couldn't actually test *inside* their cottage. So it's possible I'll still need to buy one extender if the internet isn't strong enough inside the cottage, but even if that's the case, the Eero's range is still way better than our previous router's range. I'm really happy with this.

This review is for the Eero 6, by itself, without the optional extender(s)Number of Devices connected to the Eero 6:1 PlayStation-42 Computers2 FireTVs (4K, wireless streaming)2 iPhones3 iPads35 Smart Devices (blink cameras, smart light bulbs, smart switches, smart speakers, and so on...)My Internet Speed: 200 Mbps download / 10 Mbps uploadEero 6 Performance:- At 30 feet away: Full Signal Strength on 5GHz channel, Internet Speed 230Mbps / 11 Mbps- Around 35 to 40 fee away: Full Signal Strength, but channel switched automatically from 5Ghz to 2.4GHz, Internet Speed 60 Mpbs / 9 Mbps (normal for the 2.4GHz channel since it has much less bandwidth available)- At 60 feet away: Signal is not very stableNOTE: Speed tests where performed using an iPhone 12 Max (with WiFi 6) and an iPad Pro (with WiFi 5), not much of a difference in speed between the iPhone & iPadIn my opinion, the Eero 6 is a fairly mighty WiFi router given such a small package... well suited for a small house or apartment if you are able to place the router in a central location within your house/apartment that way you'll have full internet speed on the 5GHz channel as long as you are within 30 feet from the router and decent speed on the 2.4GHz channel if you are 40 to 55 feet away from the router.Some reviewers on Amazon have stated they had issues with this router when using online meeting software (Microsoft Teams or Zoom), I've been testing my unit for two days now and no issues with Teams or any software for that matter... I currently work from home and I use the internet all day long between work, calls, and entertainment and no issues at all.... I've decided to keep the Eero 6 (I'm replacing a Netgear Nighthawk X6S with the Eero 6, the Nighthawk's specs are much more potent than the Eero's with much better signal strength, but Netgear neglects their products after a while and my Nighthawk is not able to update the firmware anymore opening it up to security issues)One thing to keep in mind, if you are interested in connecting the optional wireless "Extender" to the Eero 6, the internet speed you'll get from the Extender Unit will be about half of what you'll get from the Eero Unit itself... that is the case for all mesh systems no matter which brand you choose...One interesting option for this router is that you can connect two Eero-6 Routers (not extender) with each other via ethernet cable and both units will have full internet speed at both ends... perhaps a good option for some people...?For my current internet requirement (working from home, multiple active streams, calls, entertainment), the Eero 6 router by itself connected to a 200 Mbps internet speed is more than enough and I'm very happy with the Eero 6's performance given it comes from such a small device.I say give it a test if you are in the market for a WiFi router... all homes/apartments have different constructions so everyone will have slightly different outcomes, but it does not hurt to test it out since you can always return it if it doesn't work for you... Perhaps the Eero-6-Pro may be a better choice for some people, as most Amazon reviews state it offers more range than the Eero-6, but the Pro cost $100 more...
