Best Buy is selling a 1 pack Eero 6 Router for $83. Add 3 to the cart and it drops to $75.34 per unit - $226 for all 3. A 3 pack of the routers is normally $349, so this is a great deal. You can hardwire all of them since it's not the extenders.

If there's something specific then let everybody know outside of the fact that Amazon has purchased that company. Older users familiar with eero are also used to a high quality standard they have had for some time.

Nothing to do with that batgirl
I would definitely opt for the 3 routers over the 1 + 2 beacons every time after my experiences.
Option 1. 1 router and 1 wireless beacon. averaged 189MBS
Option 2. 2 routers both wired to each other, averaged 423MBS
Option 3. 1 router and 1 router wireless, averaged 198MBS
From what I'm seeing, it seems like, if there's ANY chance you might wire in an extra router, just go with the 3 routers. At least then you have the option to hard wire. If you go with the beacons, you're wireless no matter what, even if you change your mind later. I guess it's better to spend $25-50 and have the option to wire, than not.
I'm in for 3. Been looking for a price cut for a while.
Thanks OP. Thumbs up and repped!
From the video I watched, yes.

I picked up the 3-router option for the parent's home network. If they ever hardware between floors then these can backhaul. The extenders don't have that feature.
Checked the website. It's for 1 router and 2 extenders. Not the same as what we're discussing here.

Does this improve throughput, or at least latency? I would appreciate any advice that anyone can provide. Thanks.

I also hear that, with eero, the build-in software won't let your computers use the router to communicate if the Internet goes down. What's the software on the TPlink Deco like?
