Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi router | 2.5 Gbps Ethernet | Coverage up to 560 m2 | Connect 100+ devices | Ideal for streaming, working, and gaming | 3-Pack | 2022 release

I purchased the three router set to try and improve the speed I was getting from a BT Smart Hub 2 with four of their BT Complete WiFi Extension units linked to a 900Mbs fibre to the premises Openreach connection. I also wanted to achieve greater network stability and prevent various devices regularly dropping their WiFi connection. I have a lot of wifi enabled devices - close to 100 which connect to the network including Sky Q boxes, TVs, laptops and PCs, Alexa smart speakers, security cameras and more. I also have a lot of smart home tech that connects via a Philips Hue hub, a Yale Hub and a SmartThings hub. I suspect that the airwaves are rather crowded therefore. The existing BT system is fairly useless. The wired speed into the router is consistently around 950Mbs download and 100Mbs upload and a wired connection to the router replicates this speed pretty well. BTs WiFi technology simply isn’t capable of transmitting anything close to 900Mbs though which makes me wonder why they bundle it with the Smart Hub 2. Very close to the router I might get 350Mbs but typically around the house 150Mbs is standard with sometimes the speed dropping to 50 or less. My main Sky Q box, right beside an extender disc, continually drops its connection and needs to be reset and even when working has a slow speed. This has all changed with the Pro 6E. Before this I tried a Pro 6 eero system but sent it back as the network was more stable but speeds were disappointing. The 6E delivers stability but also speed. Close to the wired router I get around 800Mbs but around the house tend to get 400 to 500Mbs - a dramatic improvement. Surprisingly I don’t see a vast speed difference with the few 6E enabled devices I have compared with older hardware. The kit is expensive but is regularly discounted. It’s still expensive then though. However, BT sell the Complete WiFi discs for around £100 each and, although they provide the router, that would cost £200+. So in reality I had already invested a lot in WiFi infrastructure without the benefits of speeds that FTTP should deliver. I have not experienced any of the issues described concerning Sky Q connectivity. All my Sky boxes are connected, stable, and fast. Nor have I had any problems with setting the system up with BT Broadband. I would have disposed of the BT Smart Hub completely as the eero can be plugged directly into the broadband socket into the house but with BT as an ISP but as I have BTs Digital Voice phone service I have to plug one handset into the BT router. It’s irritating that the BT router can’t be put into bridge mode but I’ve simply disabled the wireless function of the BT box and a Ethernet cable connects the FTTP plug to the BT router and one of the Ethernet ports on that router is connected to an eero. Set up was very easy compared to BT, and a lot easier that a Netgear Mesh system I used to have. It simply works and I hate messing around with WiFi so all is good. I have one significant complaint about the eero system, and that is to maintain reasonable security and full functionality I have to pay £10 a month or £99 annually for the eero+ subscription. I really don’t want to do this and Amazon should make it a lot clearer that a subscription is more or less necessary. Amazon have also discontinued the ‘light’ subscription that I think was £30 a year. Overall though eero works well for me with lots of devices connected and a fairly challenging infrastructure linking everything together. Five stars.

OK, this is 300 quid, buuuut! You get what you pay for. Such a simple setup all through the eeso app and with no hiccoughs at all. The connectivity is robust and makes your home internet go a lot further as your devices are buffering through a mesh (3 routers), rather than a single device. I am connected to BT, and again, zero issues. The subscription service does offer a few handy tools/options which you may want to consider if you have kids and really want to screw down their internet access; however, in a house full of adults, the additional services really don’t offer any benefits, so save your cash. I’m super impressed. Our internet was constantly disconnecting and dropping out with black spots all over our house (its a 1600th century cottage with 3ft thick cobs walls) and have now eradicated all the black spots and have full coverage in all rooms with the 3 router setup, plus all devices are achieving max download/upload speeds throughout. This is a professional bit of gear at a 3rd of the cost for installing WAPs.

Lifesaver! After a little bit of ChatGPT we figured out how to get it to work. We did have to type in the WiFi admin log in and password which was a bit tricky but ever since we are no longer WiFi-less upstairs. Doesn’t work very well with wiz smart bulbs though unfortunately

tldr; reliable hardware, simple to set up. Works well with FTTC and FTTP broadband services. The optional Eero Plus subscription is not worth the money for most, and the extra features it unlocks ought to be free, as parents (like me) will likely want them. I've been running a 6-unit mesh network in my three-storey house for about six months now, and I am very pleased with its performance and stability. This is the third mesh product I've used since 2017, and it's the best I've tried so far. My house is 100 years old with thick, solid interior walls, and the mesh coverage and signal strength are good. The instructions for set-up were accurate, easy to follow, and the process was simple, completing without issue in a few minutes. My initial configuration involved connecting to a 75 Mbps broadband line via a TP-Link VR400 modem/router running in bridge mode. I recently had full fibre installed at my home, which allowed me to connect the Eero mesh directly to the broadband ONT socket. This required a simple configuration change to my Eero system, and meant that I didn't need to use the broadband hub provided by my service provider. The Eero provides a very stable network that requires minimal management once set up. You can generally ignore it once running, as it will automatically apply software updates if you don't actively apply them yourself. In my opinion, this is a nice feature. The app provides functional management and admin features. A highlight for me includes the ability to assign admin rights to other people if needed, which is helpful in scenarios such as multi-parent households. The parental controls are pretty good. You must pay for an Eero Plus subscription to access all security features and parental controls, a trend increasingly common among mesh providers. I have done that, and the additional features work, but I am not convinced they are worth the fee. They ought to be free, as the product itself is not inexpensive, especially when purchasing multiple units. I would have given this product 5 stars, but I docked a star for the extra subscription fee for Eero Plus.

Following a home upgrade to 1Gbps Fibre service I upgraded to these Eero Pro 6E for Tri-band functionality to extend the new much higher speeds across the house and garden areas. The Tri-band Wi-Fi6 makes a noticeable difference where the backhaul beetween the three devices is not being contended with and choked by other Wi-Fi items. Signal strength of the Wi-Fi 6 is good, within its own limitations. The compatibility with the older Eero 6 kit has been successful where I had to re-deploy one of the Eero 6 to fill in a signal hole in this old building. Setting up Eero is very easy and quick. The Eero app is essential to maximising the functionality of these devices which is providing a coherent mesh across 2.4GHz, 5GHz (low and high bands) and 6GHz. Not cheap but good value for the money given that they work very well indeed. Although new my experience with other Eero kit suggests that I can expect good reliability over time, and obviously compatibility has already been clearly demonstrated.

I was really looking forward to replacing my BT premium wifi discs that don't offer wifi 6 support and hoped to improve my overall wifi speed and coverage. They are very easy to setup, initially, but I should have paid more head to reviews of the older devices before buying. These do NOT work with Sky Q. Yes, you can read up online about work arounds for this. You can use them as just pure wifi extenders only, but then you loose half the functionality so what is the point of that. Alternatively, you can set them up to use double NATting etc. but that in itself has problems. Using that causes big problems with online gaming, so if you do that too then that is no good for you. The BT wifi discs work out of the box and have none of these issues, so just don't understand how Amazon can make and sell something like that will not work with a very large number of household set-ups.

I had eero 6 pros already but needed to extend to my garage and a shed. I bought the pack of 3 eero 6E to replace my 6 pros throughout the house and used 2 of the pros for garage and shed. They were easy to install but I did a fresh install and that was a mistake as it created a new network! I then couldn’t get the pros to join the new network until I realised that they were on different networks with the same name! My mistake as I should have asked eero app to replace the old ones rather than add new! However once I realised what the app had done I removed each of the Eeros from the original network then deleted it. Each one took a few minutes to disconnect before the blue light showed but I got there! The pros then readily connected to the new network and voila, I now have internet to the garage and work shed. The network is very stable and very seldom drops out but to be honest I’ve not really seen a major speed change with the 6E units. Maybe if I hardwired them but that would be more hassle than it’s worth. I live in a 1930s bungalow with solid walls and the pack of 3 eeros gives me coverage throughout. I’ve got FTTP and a package that gives me 450/100 and throughout the house get around 200/90 so not worth hardwiring. The great benefit I find is the seamless handover between units when walking around the house, especially when using Wi-Fi calling. Result is everything I wanted. Sure they are expensive but they are very easy to install and operate. Even after a power cut they handle the startup flawlessly, which was one of the issues I had with my old system.

Super easy to setup and the units themselves are discreet enough to not be too obtrusive sat on a couple of cabinets and one on my kitchen worktop. This has taken me from really poor performing WiFi on the newer white Sky Max Hub (was barely getting 250mbps down on WiFi) to now getting 550+ mbps consistently. The app is simple and, while the premium subscription isn’t necessary for most things, for me the backup/failover option and VPN are great. I can understand people’s criticisms about the parental controls being behind the subscription though - it just doesn’t affect me. Overall, it’s a 5 stars for me. One gripe, the 1Password Family license included with the Premium subscription isn’t compatible with my current 1Password Individual account. I’ll have to revisit that when my current 1Password subscription is closer to renewal.

Super easy setup, old house with thick walls and previously spotty signal is operating at close to max download speed in every room
