The deal is good through 6/27, meaning that you will have a chance to check things out on the Prime Day in order to see what else is available. However, I rather doubt that this particular product will be cheaper than $159.99 with this setup (3 pucks) even on the Prime Day.

Mine from Costco has been running flawlessly for over a year. Firmware has been updated twice. Lifetime anti-virus protection is a plus. It works well with my smart plugs. Nothing fancy and just a solid product at a good price point.

Agreed - had ATT's awful extenders, switched over to passthrough mode and set up the M9s - I seriously blocked out several hours for potential troubleshooting, etc., and it took maybe 30 minutes total to get the passthrough and pucks up and running. I'll probably buy another 3-pack just to extend further and have an extra.

Our house is 3300sf - was running a TP-Link Archer C9 router and just received our Deco M9 Plus on Wednesday. The C9 reached our entire house - 3 floors including finished basement except the kid's bedroom farthest from the router had a very weak signal. Was excited to set up the Deco M9 Plus - et up was easy and firmware update was easy but once I placed one of these on each floor - with main Deco in our kitchen on main floor in center of house, I was floored how crappy the signal was upstairs and outside on our porch and deck. Significantly worse than the C9 and I couldn't even get the wifi switch in our kids bath to connect because the deco's signal was too weak. Reviews for this are generally phenomenal so I don't know what to make of it. Unless I can figure something out soon, it's going back to Costco.

I'm probably going to jinx this but bought eero 3 pack in April of last year, constant issues with them simply not working.

Bought these a few months later and working great. Consistent 90-125Mbps throughout my home. Multiple people on multiple meetings throughout the work and school day along with streaming TV's in the background - never really an issue.

With this model, some people have had success by turning off the "Fast Roaming" mode which you should be able to find in the "Advanced." It is counterintuitive for that to work against the better signal, but that has been the experience with some people. Give it a try.

Have had these for about 6 months since the B&H refurb deal. They were very easy to setup and have been rock solid since. Constantly getting full download speeds for all of my devices regardless of which puck they are connected.

It is not very customizable, and I thought I would miss that coming from an Acer, but I haven't found anything I need to customize really.

I do agree that you should turn off fast roaming. It has all sorts of compatibility issues, especially with IoT devices.

FYI if you are using these in wireless backhaul (connecting the pucks wirelessly) after 3 pucks your internet speed goes down.

Also, I installed these for a friend that had ATT Fiber 1Gbit and with the ATT router, he would get 900Mb/s. With these, he would get 450Mb/s 1 foot away from the main puck.
At 6 feet away, you get 250Mb/s and in the next room, which also had a puck, you'd get 150Mb/s.

These things are terrible if you have 1Gbit fiber. I spent hours on forums and everyone else had the same issue. Wish they wouldn't falsely advertise these things are good for 1Gbit because they are not. The only way to get even close to those speeds is to use all the pucks wired to the main puck with an extra switch or connect a device wired to the main puck.

I have Google minis and hub, and currently am running off one Google mesh router whose signal shows as weaker in the bedrooms. Should I upgrade to these or just get more google mesh units?

Wired backhaul is possible!
