" ... I’ve tried other mesh network routers and Eero underperforms them all with respect to reliable wireless connectivity. ... I gave away my Eero and bought Netgear Orbi. ... Orbi does what eero should. ... "
" ... I just recently moved into a 5000 sq ft home that is 30 years old and have been getting terrible reception from a netgear nighthawk router / modem. ... I have xfinity 150 Mbps and was getting 20-40 Mbps max when I walked 10+ feet away from the router / modem. ... With 3 Erro space evenly across 5000 sq ft. ... I am getting 165 Mbps 2-3 rooms from the netgear modern / router. ... "
" ... Installed it in the middle of the house and two bedrooms at different floors. ... WiFi coverage and speed have since been excellent and we get signal even outside the house door when we go out and enter the house. ... I am sure they can also help us optimize the layout of the routers for maximum coverage and speed. ... "
" ... I get great signals everywhere in the house and outside. ... "
" ... My house is small and 1 eero should be able to cover my entire property. ... "
" ... as with Lynks extenders). ... "

" ... I don't want to nitpick but it's stupid that there is no option to restart the Eero through the app without an internet connection if you are connected on the local network. ... If I'm on the local network they need to implement a button for a local restart. ... "
" ... I get 1000/1000 mbps from my ISP and before Eero I would get around 150 mbps over wifi. ... "

" ... Must have for wifi ... "
" ... I've had an eero wifi system in my house for about a year now and it works very well. ... Over the past year, several competitors have come up offering similar devices, Google Wifi, Linksys Velop, Netgear Orbi, the list is growing. ... Basically, the eero system is not made to be used by power users or anyone who wants to have a say in their home network setup. ... This would prevent the need for sharing passwords or remembering a separate guest wifi password. ... VPN support, to route all requests through a VPN. ... "

" ... Eero Took care of this for us. ... For the basic set up it was very easy to perform the set up and then for the unique factors in my system, using AirPort express wireless routers as conduits for wireless connection to a central bank of music and then connecting out to three different stereo systems throughout the house and using time capsule as my backup system, the technical support folks were exceedingly helpful. ... "
" ... It was a breeze to install. ... Probably took me 30 minutes to set up all three points. ... I have all three hard wired in my installation. ... "
