Amazon eero Pro 6 mesh Wi-Fi 6 router | Fast and reliable gigabit speeds | connect 75+ devices | Coverage up to 2,000 sq. ft. | 2020 release

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!

I received my Pro 6 mesh wifi router today and just installed it. This router is outstanding, I love it! I had the Pro 5 mesh router before, which I bought back in March when my kids started their homeschooling. The Pro 5 had been an improvement over my old Apple AirPort Extreme, and I was relatively happy with it. Still, I was disappointed that I was not getting a strong signal in my 2nd bedroom in my 1000 square foot New York apartment. Standing near the router with my Pro 5, I got about 200 Mbps, but as I moved about 35 feet away and around a corner in my apartment, I was getting only about 10-20 Mbps, which was not good enough for having two kids on Zoom calls at the same time. I installed an Eero Beacon in the back bedroom, and that got it reliably up to about 60, which was good enough for the kids to not complain of glitching on their calls.I felt a bit sheepish about wanting to try the new Pro 6 mesh wifi router, because the 5 was good enough with the Beacon, and I don't own any wifi 6 enabled devices. Did I really need to throw away another $229 on a new toy for a theoretically small improvement in wifi strength? Well, the answer is absolutely! I ran a speed test near the new router and got the same approximate 200 Mbps, but when I went to the furthest spot on my back bedroom without a Beacon, I got about 150 Mbps. The improvement in performance is astounding, and I think it will be a life-changer for those of us with multiple kids at home with constant video calls. With the Pro 5, I made sure that I wasn't watching any videos on my laptop while the kids were on their calls, because invariably, one of them would shout that their video was glitching. My network simply couldn't handle three devices using that much bandwidth. But now with the Pro 6 mesh's ability to handle more devices, plus the astounding extra coverage, my entire apartment is blanketed in blazing fast wifi. Plus I love the Eero's fun and easy features on the app. I pay the $29 a year for the Eero Secure, so I get the ad-blocking, plus the ability to filter out inappropriate content for my kid's devices. Even without the Eero Secure, the app has great features and is very simple to use, but I do like the Eero Secure.So, my verdict is that the new Pro 6 mesh is a home run, and I'm so thrilled with it. Two other things: I read a lot of reviews about the Pro 5 mesh running very hot, and it was absolutely true. Mine ran hot, but I didn't find it alarming, like some other people did. This Pro 6 mesh runs much cooler, it is just warm to the touch. I find that much more reassuring. It is about twice the thickness and has a slightly bigger footprint than the 5, but the 5 was pretty tiny. This is still sleek and stylish, and looks attractive out in the open. I kept the box for my Pro 5 mesh and Beacon, and will sell it on Ebay. This Pro 6 mesh is an outstanding router, and eliminates the need for a Beacon to extend its range in my apartment. It’s a huge upgrade from the Pro 5 mesh, and is well worth the money spent, even if you have no wifi 6 enabled devices. It greatly exceeds my expectations.
