Im an Amazon Prime member so not a hater, even though lately plenty more reasons to not like the company.

Now the specifics, weaker range compared to other systems like the Orbi RBR750 as much as 25% shorter range which is pretty significant. The speed of the main router within 10 feet is about 100 Mbps slower and satellites around 150 Mbps slower so you can expect around 800 Mbps and 600 Mbps performance.Now compare that performance to the TP-LINK AX5700 which the routers can get up to 1.4Gbps performance and satellites well over 1Gbps so that's a huge step up over the Eero Pro. With those huge performance gaps why pay more for a system that is only half as good and yet more expensive. Not to mention the other systems usually have a 3rd unit for around the same price points, which enhances even more coverage.
For $280 when on sale the TP-Link AX5700 2 Pack is currently one of the best systems money can buy.

If you dont need bleeding edge performance and interested in more coverage the 3 pack of the AX3600.

Very informative post! Repped! When do you think WiFi 6E will be affordable to consumers and not just for the ones who want the latest and greatest. What do you think of Netgear as a brand? I've been using them for years and have had good luck. I am currently using the Nighthawk R7800s X4S and it's reliable 95 percent of the time. I tend to stick with the brands that I have had a good record with.
Well, you probably read my very long post, and I appreciate the feedback. I wound up editing it to a very short "in a nutshell" post.

I haven't really seen but maybe one or two 6E routers yet. It will depend on demand and cost.

I agree, stick with what you find works. After installing M90's and X60's for clients, the cost/performance was great. No complaints.

I have the previous Eero Pro setup. Have worked perfectly since day one. I'm the type of person who could wire up a full on cisco setup or ubiquity, etc. and still choose Eero. I have a ton of IOT stuff connected, like 30+ devices and all have worked without a hiccup. Sample size of 1 but I have been very happy with my Eeros.

The TP-LINK AX5700 comes with the basic version of home shield which scans for virus but does not do malicious content monitoring. All the details here, comparison of basic vs paid if you scroll down.

https://www.tp-link.com/us/homeshield/

I believe the higher end version of the X90 gets the full paid version but the kits way more expensive.

Asus is the only manufacture that consistently still provides a free full feature security scanner best to my knowledge so if that's your biggest selling point look at Asus gear.


Quote from LivelySparrow529 :
Any thoughts on whether this would be a nice upgrade from Nest? I have three routers with a wired backhaul. Gradually upgrading to Wifi 6 devices with the MacBook Pro 14 and Pixel 6 Pro and have Gigabit Fiber.
Quote from mrwhitewalker :
I have used the TP-Link Deco M9 for three years and works well. Now that I have fiber I want to upgrade. Would these be an upgrade? I want TRI band.
To the above questions, if you want full 1Gbps wireless with wifi 6 gear no these wont do it, and they are not much of a step up over a M9+. Look at the 1st page and my posts for more info.

Quote from JDubb66 :
Really trying to hold out for a wifi 6e setup in a few months. Not sure I'm going to make it. This or the TP-Link AX5300 at Costco are looking pretty attractive.

As for the above two posters, wifi 6E is only going to be beneficial for in same room coverage cause the 6E is so short range. In most cases pretty pointless when it comes to whole house coverage cause unless you are in the same room, you will in most cases be on standard Wifi 6 and not 6E.

As for pricing, we wont see any wifi 6E mesh kits under $400 anytime soon. Maybe next BF and they will be low end units, and as I mentioned above pretty pointless since the 6E is so short that without wired backhaul you wont be able to take full advantage of the 6E bandwidth since the wifi 6 will be the wireless back haul in most cases. Even if you do have wired backhaul to take full potential of 6E you need minimum a 2.5Gbps home network and not a standard 1Gbps home network which is what 99% of all people have.

Eero's work great...until they don't. And then good luck with support as they are the only ones that can see your logs or help your troubleshoot.

Bought the last gen pro 3 pack and had zero issues for almost two years. Then the main router started rebooting daily shortly after a firmware update they pushed out. Support said they saw nothing wrong and "devices don't randomly reboot on their own, it's probably your ISP". Pushed back and they gave me some canned troubleshooting tips that were already on their site. The reboots just happened to stop after they pushed another new firmware out weeks later.

There are also major privacy concerns with these, now more than ever. The newer devices require an Amazon account to set them up. Before that, it was phone number. Either way, all the management, connected devices, and traffic goes through Eero's (Amazon's) servers. Nothing is local on the router.

The simplicity is nice, but it's not worth the drawbacks above. Most name brand mesh router systems are just set it and forgot now anyway.

I'm not a tech person at all...but I'm very interested in a mesh system due to dead areas around my home.

My internet is 200 down / 10 up, so is something like this overkill? I was looking at Google Wifi for something simple. I wouldn't do any customization of settings really.

have this

chiming in: if bandwidth monitoring is important to you, it *does* have day by day logging of bandwidth per device. however, the free tier only lets you look at the current week. this means (and this is my BIG GRIPE) if it's currently a Sunday, you cannot look at yesterday's bandwidth logs because that week ended. however, if it's a Saturday, you can look at the entire week.

you essentially have access to all 6 days except for the 7th day unless you remember to check before it hits midnight on Sunday.

my other gripe was that you cannot schedule updates. they update on their own schedule OR you can immediately update. i've been in many multiplayer games and suddenly the router reboots. however, i believe they slowed down software updates so I haven't experienced this issue in the past several months (and possibly moved updates to a later hour for me).

i also have google wifi, but the Google Home app interface is terrible for wifi. And their Google wifi app (which has superior UI) is being sunsetted. but Google does keep bandwidth logs for the past 30 days for free.

What are the main benefits for eero pro Wi-Fi 6 vs eero Wi-Fi 6 (non pro)?

I picked up a 3-pack of the eero pro wifi 6 model last week for $180, which I thought was a really good deal, but wondering if I should return and get the 2-pack of this for $300 and add on a third down the road if needed.

What benefits / features am I missing out on if i stick with the non pro?

If you like Google home simple UI based app, then you should good to go with them. Plain and simple with "ok. Google"

I have the Orbi 2 pack bought 3 years ago. Currently doing the basement reno and definitely need an extra orbi satellite. Is it worth to buy a satellite which costs around 150 plus the model compatibility is bit of a question. Any advice? Should completely change to tplink ax or just add 1 satellite?

I can attest to the quality of the TP-Link Deco AX3600 (same as x68) system from Costco, I got them on sale for $280 - I am quite impressed. They were essentially plug and play and Triband.

I also like with Deco that you can add on any other deco product.

If you are on a budget.

Yes overkill, I usually dont recommend going down to wireless 5 mesh but with your speeds a TP-Link M9+ system for around $150-180 when on sale seems like it would last you awhile.

Unless you plan on getting some wifi 6 devices shortly than TP-Link X60 for $190 currently from newegg.

https://slickdeals.net/f/15358927-tp-link-wifi-6-mesh-wifi-ax3000-whole-home-mesh-wifi-system-deco-x60-covers-up-to-5000-sq-ft-replaces-wifi-routers-and-extenders-2-pack-190-w-free-shipping-189-99?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Its hard to recommend anything over $200 for you cause your ISP speeds are so low that you will never utilize the higher end systems.

The non pro version of the Eero is performance wise no better than a wifi 5 system maxing out around 500Mbps or slower, if you plan on getting internet faster than 500Mbps then you dont want the Eero....

I experience the opposite. My Eero 6 pro system is amazing and have never had to reset it but once in a little over a year. Great speeds, reliability and range (Although maybe it is because I have 2 of these) Have a netgear modem cm2000 and it wasn't until I upgraded to Eero pro 6 that I truly saw an improvement. That is just my opinion though

Not sure what your experience is the opposite off, I listed realistic data compiled from multiple reviews max performance for eero pro which really is not an opinion piece of information?

I never said anything like they don't work, or they are constantly having issues in any of my statement, or anything to do with reliability. In short all I said is these are way overpriced for what they do when there are cheaper and better performing alternatives.

Yes having an older modem will bottleneck your system so having newer gear which is required for speeds of 1Gbps and up is always recommended.

Realistic data? Unless you actually did it yourself I would not trust it much as it can vary. I was giving my opinion and experience. As far as opposite experience, I meant with Orbi and TP link related products, maybe not the RBR 750, but yes to the to link 5700, which would disconnect constantly and if connected to other than the main router, my internet would crawl. Again, my experience. In regards to price, yeah, may be overpriced.
