I’ve had Eero for over a year now, in 2022 I upgraded to fiber and these two combined together is awesome

You are getting 500mbpersec+ download speed and you are saying not bad.
On lucky days i get 32

[xtuxie]

they don’t boost your speed, they’re used to extend the Wi-Fi connection to parts of the house that are far away from the router and have poor connection.

The Biggest thing with a mesh wifi setup is not so much the speed. But the ability to move the units around dead spots for reliable wifi coverage. You also have the ability to add more units depending on how big your place is. Bathroom, kitchens and ac closets can kill wifi. Signal. Anything that's metal. Hope this answers any questions.

Mesh systems are for coverage. Not speed. Every beacon that you add will be half the speed as the last (when in succession). The gateway should get full speed but the next one will be half and so on (unless the other beacons aren’t daisy chained and have a direct connection to the gateway). I install these for a living and they’re great for coverage. Just don’t expect 1Gbps. Even still there’s almost nothing that requires that bandwidth except downloading large files. I pay for 300MBps and I have never noticed an issue. 300MBps is actually overkill for probably 80% of consumers. In fact I actually install for commercial accounts and I’ve seen bigger businesses with IT contractors ordering 100Mbps. You’d be surprised at how little you actually need.

So glad I didn't get the gig router, got the step down version with mesh and litterally see no difference with or without the mesh in terms of speeds. Also with mesh the freaking thing grabs 2.4 devices that are litterally by or closer rather than opposite side of the home.
Recognizes gig isp service..
Yet a lovely experienced high 112mb/11 random, and inconsistency.
Glorious above average gaming @ 60ms-80ms latency. And on its best a floppy 55-65.
Oh and the above all best feature is when it hits 200ms-400ms, and game character on screen lags back and forth giving the infamous signal/ sign of death.🥳🤯

This one isn't.

Orbi is. I used Eero a few weeks, got an Orbi with 5Ghz wireless backhaul-doubled my speed. 👍

This is great and all but what modem do you have? That’s where the bottle neck will happen.

[westernllamas]

Zawg on a good day 7mbps is a blessing

[waalex]

I'm still researching, but I think access points are better.
Best is not needing anything except your modem in the middle of the house, with ethernet ports.

Meanwhile, my Internet can’t even run Minecraft realms

I've had an old eero system for a while. I've been fighting overheating and deadzones ever sense. Go with a different brand.

[ItzSushiManz]

Does this mesh system work with ATT Fiber WiFi?

[IPlayGames]

Why should you need an account for a WiFi router at all?

[TheOnlySpareBox]

Not attaching my Amazon account to wifi system

[hrufhduehveugrhhty]

It's worth it if you have 5gb speed plan from Broadband company. Otherwise, don't live under hype.

[kon]

Its most certainly worth the hype if u have a big ass house 😂

[abhikdutta]

I have a doubt, I have a 100 mbps speed ( 50 mbps download & 50 mbps upload ) ISP Connection, now if i update my existing dual band router to mesh wifi system will i get the original speed 100 mbps in mesh wifi system or the speed will reduce to half like in happens in case of range extenders / wifi repeaters, big doubt, please reply

[KenLinx]

Literally nobody has ever hyped a wifi mesh system.

[Jharo]

Its way better than buying an expensive router or router extenders
