I don't care what brand mesh you might be considering, but DO NOT EVER buy a Linksys velop system. Worst product I've ever dealt with in my 30+ years of networking.. complete trash in every way, including the software they force upon you.

edit: clarity
I've been running a pair of Velop Tri-band using an ethernet backhaul for almost 3 years now with no issues. I only use them as access points for 20+ devices with all the important functions (DHCP, vlan, firewall, etc) covered by a managed switch and a dedicated pfsense firewall. I do agree that the software on them is very basic, but they have worked like a champ in my configuration.

This is THEEE slowest and one of the shortest range wifi 6 systems out there, so I can never recommend this unless its around $100. You will be lucky to break 200Mbps with these guys on average with your devices with a max of usually 300Mbps if you get lucky......

To put that into perspective the TP-Link Deco M9 averages around 500Mbps at all times even 15-30ft away from a node its still over 350Mbps....

Just to add another perspective I almost always recommend the new wifi 6 systems now over the older wifi 5 cause its time for the upgrade, so that says a lot that I would still not purchase this wifi 6 system over the older M9+ wifi 5 system.



I would not use this unless your max speed was around 200Mbps since it cant even reliably hit 300Mbps.



Just to clear your statement up, the Triband Velops were one of the best top 3 with Orbi and Deco. What your referring to is the dual band Velops and the single triband mixed with dual band packs, they were utter trash cause the dual band Velops were as mentioned trash trash trash. If you had a set of tribands no issues and extremely fast speeds.
According to online reviews, real life test showed it barely got to 300mb. Based on price to performance ratio. It is not a good deal. There are a lot devices that outperform this one. DECO x60 is better than this, also has basically no settings to worry about for novices

Yes that was my point, that is why I cant recommend eero there are just so many better options for $200.

Not Pro version, not worth it...

I have set up 3 of the Eero Pro 5's at my place and my girlfriend's. Either get the Pro 5 3-pack on sale or wait for the Pro 6 3-pack to drop in price. These non-Pro versions lack the extra backhaul band that makes a mesh setup truly efficient. The dual-band and worse coverage on these non-Pro versions make them much worse than the tri-band and better coverage on the Pro versions.

What's the cheapest mesh 1 gigabit system?

Bit off topic - but I've been struggling to find something like that.

I lost all interest in this after Amazon bought the company.

I just don't trust Jeff Bezos with my data and control over my home security.

If you need a new Wifi now, get the last gen pros cheaper. Wifi 6 is a stopgap before wifi 6E which will see wider adoption. I have 3x last gen pros and a beacon, got them all for about $250, and I get 300-400mbps consistently.

That's because there isn't a gigabit mesh system in real practice. Even with line of sight 15 feet away, the fastest mesh system would be a set of $700 Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 (RBK852) which manage 800mbps. If you put two separate $550 x2 ASUS GT-AXE11000 in mesh they can hit 1.3gbps. I rather spend that on Ethernet drops for hardwired backhaul and ensure every room is as close to a router as possible instead.

Petey - in your opinion - what is the best wifi 6 system right now? Best if you have gigabit ethernet backhaul? Thanks!

Edit: (Not necessarily at $200 - just wondering how wifi 6 systems and access points where coming along)

I have 2 Amplifi HDs with backhaul and I am getting 400 anywhere in the house. Is it worth it to upgrade to see faster WiFi speed?

Get the M9. They're solid.

With respect to the Eero 6:

The Wi-Fi 6 version of Eero's basic mesh kit has an attractive price, particularly when it's on sale, but we found that it underperformed when we put it to the test.

The Eero 6 is very simple to set up, so it would be a natural fit for folks who want to minimize their time fiddling with router settings. It has support for WPA3 security, but that's one of the few settings you can change beyond network name and password. In its quest for simplicity, it removes even basic niceties (it has only one extra Ethernet port on the base unit, and none on the satellites). During our testing, the Eero 6's performance was sub-par, topping out at 171Mbps throughput, with below average latency scores. That means it is suitable for homes with 200Mbps (or slower) broadband connections. Eero also charges between $30 and $120 per year for their Eero Secure and Secure+ subscriptions, which are necessary for parental controls and anti-malware protection—services that the Asus ZenWiFi kits include for free. This makes the budget-priced Eero 6 less of a bargain.

I use a 25Mbps line - work and streaming. No more games and never felt a need for more with Comcast's nasty pricing in my area (pretty much the only option). I guess 200Mbps throughput seems heavenly. Will probably try yo get one of these when I relocate my home office to the basement.

Actually if they are not wifi 6e with odfma they are just overpriced. You can get a good wifi 5 system for a song and wait until the 6e stuff fleshes out in a few years I still use a 5 year old orbi rbr40 and it maxes out my FiOS at 300 mbps no problem. You can buy it for like $50.

The problem with mesh systems if they are no dedicated triband and you don't do ethernet backhaul then you are just taking away precious bandwidth and you can just do a plug in ubiquiti for much less.

I currently have FiOS gig internet and have their new WiFi 6 router and 2 network extenders that are also Verizon branded with WiFi 6 on each floor. I have some spotty areas though. Can I simply add these to my existing network and keep the same SSIDs and all that or is this more of a replacement?
If you mix systems and they don't do handoff correctly you can have drops and your performance could go way down. So unless you have a spectrum analyzer and know what you are doing do t try it
