" ... We previously had a set-up that used a primary router and an "extender" to get coverage throughout our house. ... Our devices would often time out as they switched from one signal to the other. ... Then Eero entered our lives! ... I've never had to reboot, coverage is awesome, speed is great – basically, I don't even think about our Wifi anymore. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... My home is well built, thick strong walls and it is 6000 sq ft (no basement). ... We could never get wifi signals on the far end of the house and the service dropped so bad once you got away from the wifi spot. ... Now the whole house is amazing, not even Comcast could do anything in my home. ... "
" ... Before buying this, I had a second router hard-wired to my router/cable modem and two separate network names, which the devices were always getting confused by. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... Best Home Wifi System. ... "
" ... We have 200 Mbps Internet but never really saw more than 45 Mbps from my office which is 40 ft direct line of sight from the cable modem and TP-LINK C9 AC1900 router. ... It turns out that it was the router not being able to cover the entire house. ... Also, when I check the Eero app and it says that the hard wired router is pulling down 210 Mbps. ... I should have bought this router setup a long time ago. ... "
" ... Easiest router installation I have ever seen. ... I'm getting faster speed than with any other router I have used. ... "

" ... Easy setup - great wifi coverage - fixed a dead zone in our apartment we could never get a signal to. ... "
" ... Easy set up, just like they said. ... "
" ... Even with that, which was a simple thing, it was super easy to set up. ... "
" ... The other units (beacons) set up is easier as you only need to plug the power cord in, then follow the app to add another eero. ... "
" ... In a matter of minutes the first one was set up. ... "
" ... Super easy install, Best normal home Wifi solution I have come across so far. ... "

" ... Just the two piece set up covered our entire home (1800 SQ FT). ... I have already recommended it to numerous family and friends without hesitation. ... "
" ... 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. ... So I walked to every edge of my house, even outside my house and the consistency in throughput remained at 329mbps. ... To be fair, I live in a brick and concrete three story contemporary home. ... "
" ... Lots of dead spaces in the house. ... No dead spots even upstairs and outside. ... "
" ... I have a two story 3400 square foot house and the 3 Eero set up covers it nicely! ... "
" ... This eero is a complete home run. ... Our house has cinder block walls that are 10” thick, and the house is long and narrow (welcome to beach town living). ... "
" ... This system plus one beacon covers our 2400 square foot office wonderfully - we've even had up to 15 extra devices on days with large meetings with no loss in connectivity. ... "
" ... I have just the two unit system, one on the ground floor and one on the second floor. ... "
" ... I have a 2-story, 1650 sq foot house. ... I located the beacon in the dining room directly below the bedroom with the router. ... I now have outstanding, fast, wifi coverage throughout my house! ... "

" ... One of the best WiFi Systems. ... "
" ... 5/4/2018 - I've been running my Eero network for almost a full month. ... No single disconnect, needing to restart Wifi. ... The wifi speed does fluctuate time of day like Orbi, but no disconnect is a huge thing. ... Even hypothetically the peak speed of Orbi can beat Eero and more customization options on Orbi, unpredictable, intermittent Wifi drop out was unacceptable to me. ... "
" ... Extends WiFi coverage, Xfinity just wasn't reaching the far end of our 50 foot long home. ... Some devices like google home need old WiFi frequencies so we still need to use Xfinity WiFi for our mini google, which is great for entertainment and parties. ... "
" ... 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). ... "
" ... One at the office so the warehouse has WiFi and one at home. ... "
" ... I eventually had to connect an old router and create a single 2.4 hidden network just for these devices. ... The wireless coverage is much better than anything I've ever had before. ... "
" ... Of course, changing WiFi is a tumultuous project when trying to remember all of the things that you have attached to Wifi. ... "
" ... The app walked me through the easy setup, and visually shows all of our devices using our WiFi network. ... Best of all, we have seamless and reliable WiFi throughout our house and basement! ... "

" ... I had a question about "best practices" regarding introducing a 5 port unmanaged switch into the topology of my network, and it was thoroughly answered in a reasonable amount of time by a customer service representative. ... "
" ... In fact, the floor plan is the limiting factor in my situation, and I believe I could achieve faster speeds if I had another outlet to use. ... "
" ... Eero setup was very simple with just plug ethernet cable, power cord and download Eero app on my iOS device then follow instructions. ... Give I needed ethernet ports on Satellite, I chose Eero Pro, which also cost $500. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
