Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh wifi system - Supports internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps, Coverage up to 8,000 sq. ft., Connect 100+ devices, 4-pack

Previously just had the standard wifi router provided by ATT with fiber connection. It was fine really but some parts of the house lacked good signal. Purchased the 6 Pro E and put the ATT router in bridge mode, the Eero instructions on doing that were perfect and it worked. The 6 Pro E was up and running in minutes and did it's own software updated immediately. Was super easy to rename the network, set the password and permissions and every single device that was previously on the old router connected seamlessly on it's own without any intervention. I think possibly one 2.5GHz device may not have auto-connected but it connected just fine once I put it in pairing mode. We have a lot of devices, mixed 5ghz and 2.5ghz, and so far both networks broadcast fine and everything works. Also 5th Gen Echo Dots seamlessly boost the wifi signal and I already had those in nearly every room before getting the Eero 6 Pro E.Few things to note:I don't pay for Eero Plus subscription so I don't use any of the extra reporting features.New devices connect with what looks like a random code or with a manufacturers name, which usually does not help identify what it is. That can be a challenge when you're trying to figure out if it is something you just added or someone else who managed to get in passed the firewall. Googling the name that shows up does not always help figure out what it is.For some reason my iphone reconnects every few weeks as a "new device" with a name of "unknown device". This does not happen with my husband's iphone. This means that at any given time there is one active "unknown device" and several others that are inactive with that name. Looks like eventually they drop off the recently connected inactive list. Even if I rename it to something specific, after a few weeks it will reconnect as if it's brand new and I'll get an Eero notification that a new device has connected. It is frustrating to have to continually check the app to make sure it's just my own phone and not something intruding.The Eero devices have a Zigbee hub built-in but my recent purchase of motorized Alexa compatible shades with Zigbee motors had issues. They connected sort of, but were not functioning in the Alexa app even though both Eero and the shade manufacturer said they should work. Eventually I had to also buy 2 older 4th gen Echo's that also have a Zigbee hub built-in, only then would they be found by Alexa and then they started working in Alexa app with voice and scheduling. However, adding the old 4th gen echos created two more issues: While every single other device in my house on other floors away from the Eero 6 Pro can connect just fine because I have 5th Gen Echos in most rooms boosting the mesh coverage, for some reason, the 4th Gen Echo placed on the second floor could not connect to the 6 Pro E router on the first floor. I had to end up buying a second Eero 6 for the second floor to act as a booster up there as well. Only then did the second floor 4th Gen Echo connect to wifi and stay connected. That's very odd because everything else on the second floor and in the basement and detached garage had no issues connecting to either the wide array of 5th Gen Echos or to the main 6 Pro E on the first floor. The second new issue... the Eero devices are set to roam automatically which is the point of mesh coverage. However, the Zigbee shades hated that feature and would constantly bounce from the nearest 4th Gen Echo to the 6 Pro E and back. Each bounce made them "unresponsive" in the Alexa App. Eventually I had to turn off that roaming feature in the Eero app settings so that every device now connects to whichever Echo or Eero it sees first and then stays there. Defeats the purpose of having mesh but it was the only way to make the $2000 worth of "smart" shades actually work with the network and Alexa.

I’ve gone through my fair share of networking setups, and let me tell you: finding the right combination of modem and router can be a nightmare.Previously, I had Cox’s Gigablast (coaxial) paired with an ARRIS Surfboard S33 modem and an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro router. If you’re on cable, you’re not going to do better than an ARRIS Surfboard. It's rock solid. But ASUS? That’s another story. For a tri-band WiFi 6 router, the range was absolute garbage.Fast forward to my recent move. I switched to AT&T Fiber with the BGW320-500 gateway, and guess what? More disappointment. The UI was terrible, the system was locked down to dual-band, and the range was a struggle. My previous place was a two-story townhome, but now I’m in a one-story home with more square footage plus a larger lot where I plan to install security cameras. The last thing I needed was weak WiFi coverage.After doing my research, I landed on the eero Pro 6E (3-pack). Honestly, I couldn’t be happier.Here’s the thing about the eero Pro 6E: It just works. No complicated setup, no fine-tuning needed. You plug it in, follow a few steps in the app, and that’s it. If you’re the kind of person who loves to tweak every setting on your network, this isn’t the hardware for you. But if you want reliable, high-performance WiFi without the headaches, this is hands-down one of the best mesh systems out there.The range is excellent, the speeds are fast, and I finally have full-home coverage, indoors and out. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or setting up smart home devices, the eero Pro 6E handles it all effortlessly. On my Apple devices that support 6E, I'm getting more than 1 Gbps up and down on wireless. That's incredible.If you’re tired of routers that promise a lot but underdeliver, do yourself a favor and get the eero Pro 6E. You won’t regret it.

I've been using the system for a number of months now. I had an aging Netgear Orbi system that was working well enough but due to the way the system works, it was difficult to get it to work with the smart devices in my house. I have a number of smart locks, security cams and outlets that had issues hooking up. I decided to change to the eero system. I have a main unit and three satellites. The main router is on the top floor of my two story house and I have one in the basement. I have quick speeds throughout the house no problem. I'm pretty good with tec stuff but was worried that I'd have to go through setting up each device again on my system when I switched over. I got each of the eero devices up and running with the latest firmware. Set them up with the same SSID and PW's of my previous system. I unplugged my old system and restarted the eero's and everything just, worked. All my devices connected. I was expecting to have to manually add one of my security cameras or maybe a smart outlet. I'm using a few smart systems like Netvue, VeSync, U home and Gosund. They all work without issues. I was little shocked frankly. I was expecting some sort of issue I'd have to start googling but no. I wish there was a web base app but it's not a big issue everything is through a phone app. I pay My ISP for a 1GB Download and am seeing just about that wired and wireless 650+ MBps so it's plenty fast. I have a MoCa device to my Nvidia Shield streaming device and that's also seeing 950+MBps. It's been very stable, I haven't noticed any drops or speed reductions. Not that it matters too much to me but each of the stations are pretty small and look pretty good compared to my old ones. All in all a worthwhile upgrade for me.
