The Problem I Needed to Solve: I have a 3 story townhouse. They installed Fios gig-speed internet in the back-left corner of the first floor and most of our connected devices are on the 3rd floor. The only room suitable for my office is on the front-right corner of the 3rd floor, which is the farthest you can possibly get from the router. I was getting about half wifi signal strength which led to spotty Zoom calls, flaky streaming via PS4 and FireTV, and gaming was pretty glitchy. Downloading updates on PS4 took hours. My speed would vary between 3Mbps and 150Mbps. When it was 150... it was good, but there were a lot of times it just wasn't. I decided to go with the eero pro 6 (2 pack) since my speeds should be high and I have a lot of devices that can make use of Wifi 6 and was banking on the 2nd unit being able to allow me to use the 5GHz band.
Customer Service: I called eero to make sure I was getting the right solution. They answered promptly and were extremely polite. They were not salesy at all. I explained my setup, my issue and they recommended what I had in mind. I asked if I should consider the 3 pack and they did not try to upsell me at all. Suggested for the size of my place to try the 2 pack and reposition the 2nd puck if needed before investing in the 3 pack. Was a great experience.
Setup: Once it arrived, I had both units set up and connected within 20 minutes. The app tells you exactly what to do and it is incredibly easy. Just unplug one thing. Plug in two things. Hit a button. Easy. You can even name your network the same as your previous one so you don't have to reconnect all your devices (but you may then want to rename the old network to avoid confusion). I placed the 1st unit that is tethered via ethernet cable to the Fios router right beside it on the 1st floor. The 2nd unit was placed on the second floor on the left wall in the center of the wall, which is at the base of the stairs leading to the 3rd floor. No ethernet cable was used for the 2nd unit. I just plugged it into the wall and paired it. (and they look sleek and aesthetically compliment most any room IMHO)
Results: Full signal strength in every corner of the house. Speed tests are consistent so far. All well above 100Mbps no matter what device (and so far, no matter how many devices are being used). Streaming is smooth. Downloaded updates on the PS4 last night that would have taken hours and were done in less than 15 minutes. One was almost 1gb and took 90 seconds. No more glitchy gaming. No more spotty Zoom so far.
Bonus: I can see which devices are connected to which unit and at which wifi band. It allows you to rename your connected devices so you can easily identify them and see how much they are downloading/uploading. If you have kids, you can pause their connection and resume later to help regulate screen time. If you have unwanted devices on your wifi, you can block them. They also have security plans you can pay for that will allow for more advanced options like ad blocking, site blocking/content filtering, password security/additional encryption, etc. The plans are not expensive, though I don't have much use for them as an adult with no small children in the home.
Overall: I wasn't happy that I had to invest extra in order to get the internet I've been paying Fios for, but this is a great solution! Great product. Easy to setup. What little customer service experience I've had has been positive. Good investment!

Some features require linking your Amazon account, and downloading the Alexa application or using a compatible Alexa device. Internet connection speeds and availability depend on your internet service provider; if your internet service provider does not provide you with the maximum supported speed, you will not experience that maximum speed. Maximum wireless signal rates are derived from IEEE 802.11 standard. Specifications assume wired Ethernet connection; your experienced speed may vary when connected to an eero device that is configured as a wireless extender. Coverage estimates are based on normal use conditions. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions. Specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device. For more information about eero performance, visit support.eero.com. |

Download the app on your phone to set it up. Easy to set up.
You plug one into your modem with a cat 5 ( i used 6E) cable. If you have a wifi modem that is not doing the broadcasting job turn off that modems wifi broadcast in settings. We had ATT modem wifi combo unit and you can't turn off wifi or it cant update. So I set up the eero's with a new network name. We then just disconnected all the wifi devices from the ATT wifi and connected it to the new network that the eero's broadcast. The house has 2 storied and a full basement. The computer is upstairs and it was slow on websites and the wifi printer would not print at times due to "no wifi". So now that all of those units are on the eero's network no more problems. The computer jump through web pages like it was cat 6e hard wired.The old wifi network is still available we just dont connect to it any more. No problems now. I would definately buy these again. They are expensive but I bought the Pro 6e pair. They have been on day and night since mid November 2023 and not one issue. They don't get hot like the ATT modem/wifi does.Read the directions that come in the box a couple times and figure where you want to put the units. One has to be plugged into your modem and it pairs to the other one wirelessly and then they both set up a mesh net throughout the house. Our house is 3200 sq ft and there is no room that does not have good service.No stars on tech support because I did not need to contact them. Set up was easy peasy. If you can set up the amazon alexa app on your phone to run plugs and lights - well this is easier than that.
