" ... Finally, a solution to strong, uninterrupted WiFi. ... The three (base plus 2) Eero routers provide a total mesh signal everywhere in our 5,000 sf 2-level house plus everywhere outside within our property line. ... I have recommended Eero to anyone who has experienced signal issues. ... "
" ... I have an 1800 SF condo on 3 floors so getting strong coverage has been tough with all previous entries. ... This is the first router that performs like a champ on every floor in every room. ... "
" ... Replaced my 1900AC router with the Eero mesh network and now my network printer is always available on any device. ... Having WiFi signal across a 3000 sqft single story home, plus the 3-car garage, is pretty amazing. ... I’ve had zero network issues since setting up the Eero mesh about 6 months ago. ... "

" ... Keep in mind the master(gateway) unit uses one of these for the line coming from your WiFi modem (or source). ... And if you have any WiFi extenders, they will connect to this system as well (if you still need to use them). ... "

" ... Finally have strong WiFi throughout the entire house. ... "
" ... For years, I've battled bad Wi-fi in our house. ... But I had 3 different networks, a 2.4G, 5G and then the extended network. ... All our mobile devices seamlessly switch between the router and beacons no problem. ... "
" ... I have used netgear routers, TP-Link extenders, the Luma system, etc., and honestly, this is by far and away the best mesh wifi system I've ever seen. ... "

" ... This product has well integrated hardware and software (e.g., eero offers additional network controls and integration with third-party applications such as Encrypt.me, which is an understated benefit for the cost). ... Also, adding guests to the guest network is trivial with the camera app (with iOS). ... "
" ... I also like the app interface that lets you know how many devices are on the network and built in speed test. ... "
" ... Regardless, no more futzing with my devices’ settings and no more listening to Alexa’s whining! ... "
" ... The iOS app is easy to use and well-designed. ... "
" ... it is much better and easier to install than Google Wifi ... "
" ... I will do updates when I see how well this system works. ... "
" ... The ability to add guest access is nice. ... I've got all my mobile devices connecting to it for safety, especially light bulbs and Alexa devices. ... "
" ... The app is also very easy to use and it's nice to be able to see what devices are connected and what bandwidth everything is using. ... "

" ... I had an area in my home where my kindle would not connect to the internet, where streaming was always buffering and where my Surface Pro knew only one speed, slow, slow, slow. ... "
" ... So easy to set up, and all my other devices (Sonos, HunterDouglas automated blinds, Ring Doorbell) connected without issue. ... "
" ... Eero can do what both of those devices can. ... "
" ... Truly helped my connections ... "
" ... And speeds have increased twice over on all my media devices. ... "

This includes free access to 1Password, a super secure and handy password manager, and a VPN app. ... "
" ... For technical users, the advanced management tools in the Android app are much faster and easier to use than the typical setup screens for consumer-oriented devices from Netgear, D-Link, and Apple. ... "
" ... Phone app worked great for locating best spots for a strong signal. ... "
" ... It took about 10 minutes to install, completely using the phone app that guides you through each step. ... "

" ... I have Comcast/Xfinity and it was easy to connect with my router and phone service. ... "
" ... In my office, it was only 16 mbps. ... "
" ... We are achieving the maximum download speeds as advertised by our internet service provider. ... "
" ... With the outgoing Motorola router, the max download speed I got was 25mbps when we pay for 100mbps! ... "
" ... With no other change, my download speeds have gone from 35 mbps to 400 mbps, and uploads from 5 to 35. ... "
" ... Our internet connection is literally now faster and more reliable. ... It was easy to set-up and I’m using it with our existing AirPort Extreme (now on Bridge Mode). ... "
" ... The difference between this and an ISP-provided router is night and day. ... "

" ... The first was that their devices connect via both WiFi and ethernet so I could get value out of the Cat6 cable I'd run to all floors in my house. ... "
" ... Easy and logical to install - I go from cable modem to EERO to a managed switch to 11 outbound Ethernet cables and then the wireless EERO nodes ... "
" ... I didn't know half a gigabit up was possible. ... "
" ... Each Eero has 2 Ethernet ports which allowed me to hard wire each one in while maintaining a single mesh network in my house. ... Used MOCA to send our internet over our COAX and connect to each Eero. ... "
" ... The system replaced my old router, which was located in an office in back of the house where the cable hub is located. ... "
" ... It's as if I have an Ethernet cable connection. ... "
" ... Connections seemed much faster than with the old Airport. ... "

" ... The soft white light on the front that shows you everything is working great is nice, and can be turned off in the app if you prefer. ... Next, a new beta feature that blocks ads at the network level was recently introduced. ... New features and updates are happening all the time (especially for Plus users! ... "
" ... I would like to see an "expert mode" with setup options for those of us who understand networking and would like the freedom to set up some features such as a VLAN. ... "
" ... We’ve had this system installed for a few months and have nothing but praise for its function and user features. ... "
