" ... We live in a house built in 1929 with thick interior walls. ... Setup was very easy and connectivity improved throughout the house. ... "
" ... I have a 1940 2 story Craftsman the old plaster walls made coverage to the whole house hard even with a great router and an extender. ... "
" ... We have an almost 3,000 sq foot home, that has several dead spots and rooms that we could not get any wifi signal into. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... Created mesh network in main house and guest network for short term rental. ... "
" ... When I walked to another room, even with three Wi-Fi extenders throughout my house, the quality and consistency of the signal degraded to the point that I couldn’t consistently stream even low resolution movies. ... I speed tested my Wi-Fi before installing the Eero and immediately after. ... So I walked to every edge of my house, even outside my house and the consistency in throughput remained at 329mbps. ... Eero is constantly checking the health of your connection and speed. ... To be fair, I live in a brick and concrete three story contemporary home. ... This eliminates overhead normally used with typical Wi-Fi routers with extenders. ... Also, Mesh Wi-Fi communicates through brick walls, ceilings and solid wood doors as if they don’t exist. ... Then I started thinking of what I paid for my wireless router and extenders. ... "
" ... It is super easy to set up and the coverage and speeds are more than what my isp even advertises. ... I have a 2600 sq ft home and have blazing speed not only inside the home but across my whole 1/2 acre property. ... Just having our phones and tablets always automatically and seamlessly connect to the best signal, no matter where we walk to around the house and yard makes this product wort buying. ... "
" ... We don't even THINK about wifi anymore. ... It's easy for guests to our home to connect to our secure network, and there have been ZERO issues with the eero Home Wifi system. ... "

" ... Six months of use so far and I've been impressed with the overall performance and WiFi coverage throughout our home and seamless connections throughout. ... "
" ... Tried another brand first because it was cheaper but I couldn’t get the signal from the basement to my main floor. ... "
" ... We have a decently sized home with an awkwardly placed (for wifi) room above a garage. ... It covers all my living space and then some (my yard) and all devices run perfectly. ... "
" ... My WiFi home system is way better than most commercial available wifi's in my area ... "
" ... I am consistently getting 45-50 Mbps on the eero Beacon units in places where I was getting a spotty 5-10 Mbps before. ... "
" ... My home is well built, thick strong walls and it is 6000 sq ft (no basement). ... Now the whole house is amazing, not even Comcast could do anything in my home. ... "
" ... It's better to have smaller pools of wifi signals. ... "
" ... Now the dead spots that were in ground floor are perfectly covered ! ... "

" ... Best wifi coverage I have ever had in our house. ... "
" ... I ordered both Eero and Google Wifi to see which system provided the best and fastest coverage for my 3600 sq ft home made mostly of cinder block. ... The devices and the wifi points were in the same positions. ... "
" ... Replaced my 1900AC router with the Eero mesh network and now my network printer is always available on any device. ... "
" ... If you want to forget your Wifi, because it's so reliable that you don't have to think about it, then Eero is the best choice I found so far. ... "
" ... Absolutely perfect WiFi all the time. ... "
" ... Eero will generate a single SSID that's visible to 2.4 and 5GHz devices so it's completely seamless. ... "
" ... Fixed our wifi problems for the first time in years. ... "
" ... This network router system is amazing! ... "

" ... It’s fairly common layout along with many smart devices, tablets, computers, and phones spread throughout the house—top to bottom, front to back and side to side— gave my Fiber network box some challenges it wasn’t quite up to! ... I was turning off then turning back on the WiFI on my Mac and tablets to get tolerable internet speeds and my Echo Dots were often complaining they were having trouble connecting to the internet. ... Regardless, no more futzing with my devices’ settings and no more listening to Alexa’s whining! ... "
" ... Sonos Speakers, Chromcasts, Laptops, etc . ... All 16 devices are set up and No Drops!!! ... "
" ... It is very easy to turn on Guest Acess feature from your phone. ... "
" ... We added this to our home to try to speed up all of our connections including work from home computers. ... "
" ... I love the detailed stats on each device connected to my network, and how I can easily see which device is connected to which Eero. ... "
" ... I added the other 2 nodes, one wired and the other wireless and had no problems getting them to connect where I had them compared to the first node. ... "
" ... The Eero 3-Pack has provided a significant upgrade to the various WifI connections in use (Roku, TV, PC, iPhone). ... The set up was amazingly easy and the Eero phone support is excellent. ... "

" ... Their app is flawless and so user friendly. ... "
" ... Set up was a breeze, the app does most of the work for you. ... "
" ... One of the frustrating things about this system (again for someone with IT experience) is that it can ONLY be managed via the phone app, there is no deeper or more advanced web or desktop management interface and the company's development roadmap doesn't include one nor do they seem to care about the customer requests for one. ... "
" ... One of the things I looked at was the reviews for the app for iOS. ... The eero app has a four and a half star rating on the App Store which is pretty impressive. ... Setting up the Eero is as simple as downloading the app and following the on-screen instructions to place the initial eero and the satellite beacons. ... And she reported to me that her Facebook stream a shared several times, which is an indication of the quality of the stream (given that the subject is obviously awesome!). ... "
" ... The app is great too . ... "
" ... First you get the eero app on your phone. ... Then the app will walk you through the set up. ... "
" ... - it was the easiest thing to set up, you open the box and there's a note that pretty much says "get the app and basically be done" ... - the beacon has a cute heckin nightlight THAT YOU CAN CONTROL from that app you had to download! ... - OHHHHH boy, the app! ... "

" ... And speeds have increased twice over on all my media devices. ... After adding the eero, I haven’t had a speed test under 40! ... "
" ... Very strong and reliable networking. ... "
" ... However, 50 Mbps is still decent speed for pretty much anything we do now a days and it should be hardly noticeable for web surfing and even online streaming ... Once the system is up and running, I really didn't need to change anything as it was already fast, and stable. ... "
" ... These were extremely easy to install (you have to use a mobile device) and we now have extremely high upload and download speeds in all rooms of our home and also outside. ... "
" ... No speed issues anymore. ... "

" ... One of the few that mesh gigabit ethernet allowing you to take full advantage of the wired system you installed. ... And Eero thought ahead and added an additional port so you can hook up the Eero to any wired jack, and then plug what was in the jack into the 2nd port on the Eero. ... "
" ... Unless your use is the common case (simple wifi devices like laptops and phones, and a stable internet connection), you should look elsewhere. ... "
" ... Although I do wish there were additional ports, switch’s are easy, cheap and reliable . ... "
" ... The system replaced my old router, which was located in an office in back of the house where the cable hub is located. ... "
" ... As a suggestion - use the EXACT name and password as your old router, and everything will hook up without any changes to your existing devices. ... I found on a website that you can link the beacon to the gateway(master) unit with an Ethernet cable, which allowed the beacon to complete the setup. ... "
" ... We had 27 devices connected. ... "
" ... The main router is hooked directly to my computer so I assumed that speed would be a bit faster than the devices using the wireless signal . ... "

" ... The built-in auto nightlight is a bonus! ... "
" ... The night lights are nice touch too. ... "
" ... Just be aware certain advanced features are $10 a month but worth it. ... "
" ... I do not need any of these advanced features, but I am sure there are some out there needs very specific features that Orbi provide but Eero does not. ... "
" ... I am not using any of the security features of the Eero. ... "
" ... Also, I absolutely adore all the optional security features. ... "
