eero - Max 7 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System (3-pack) - White

After dealing with inconsistent speeds, laggy Zoom calls, and sketchy coverage in certain rooms, I finally made the jump to the Eero Max 7 only using Wifi!! I’ve tested multiple speed points before and after, and the difference is night and day. Previously I was stuck with sub-100 Mbps in some areas—now I’m averaging 500–700 Mbps, even during peak hours. It’s tri-band Wi-Fi 7, so if you’re future-proofing, this is it. What impressed me most is that the performance didn’t just spike in one room—it leveled up my whole house. Even outdoor areas where I used to barely get signal now stream video effortlessly. The mesh integration works perfectly—I added another Eero to expand range, and it linked automatically. If you’re comparing mesh systems or wondering if it’s worth the price, the answer is a solid yes. It’s fast, stable, easy to manage, and ready for whatever high-bandwidth tasks you throw at it—gaming, streaming, remote work, or even multiple users running all at once.

I was one of the first people in 2016-2017 to embrace Eero's first home mesh WiFi system. Eero's mesh system enabled me to extend WiFi coverage to every corner of my large home. A year later, I upgraded to their second-generation (5G) system which I have been using for approximately 7 years. Having been a long-time user of Eero products, I can confidently say that they are the most reliable mesh systems available. There may be a never-ending debate as to whether they are the fastest mesh system out there, but there is no debate that out of the box, they just work. I found this out the hard way when I decided earlier this year to upgrade to a modern WiFi 7 mesh system. I bought the TP-LINK Deco BE85, thinking it would significantly outperform my old Eero mesh system. Instead, I found myself dealing with constant dropped connections and incompatibility between my Nest and Ring cameras. I ended up returning that product within a day. Upgrading to the Eero Max 7 was an expensive proposition. I needed the 3-pack and as such, I would spend well over $1k to obtain it. I waited until there was a small price drop at BestBuy and then made the purchase. The Eero 7 Max nodes are huge. Whereas, the smaller pucks of models that came before it could easily be hidden, there is no disguising these massive radios. The devices are extremely well-built and very attractive. They feature two 10GB and two 2.5GB ports. The one thing that bothers me about this upgrade is that for the price, Eero doesn't offer a USB slot to connect a hard drive that could be accessed across the network like other mesh systems do. This is a huge misfire for the product, in my opinion. So, for years I have had a 1GB incoming connection from Verizon Fios. With the older Eero 5G mesh system, I have never been able to obtain 1GB speed wirelessly. I knew that with the new Eero Max 7, obtaining that speed would also be impossible, but I knew there would be improvement over what I had. My Eero 7 Max setup is as follows: Verizon Fios Router -> Eero Max 7 Ethernet backhaul connection from the first Eero to a second at the opposite end of the house. Wireless connection for third Eero located in the basement. It took a few days for my Eero system to adapt itself to its new environment and delegate its channels accordingly. I also had to play around with the Ookla SpeedTest app to find the most optimal connection to perform the tests I was about to reveal. With my old 2nd generation Eero system and an incoming 1GB connection, at best, I was able to get 350 Mbps wireless close to the Eero node. With the new Eero 7 Max, I saw those speeds jump significantly... 928Mbps on a WiFi 7 device (iPhone 16 Pro Max) 680Mbps on a WiFi 6 device (M4 iPad Pro) 580Mbps on a WiFi 5 device (M1 Macbook Pro) The most significant result of this test was that I could indeed, on a WiFi 7 device, achieve 1GB (or just at) wireless speed. Of course, that speed decreased as I moved farther away from the node, but overall, my entire home retained significant signal coverage. And, as expected, my Nest and Ring products immediately connected (which did not happen with the TP-LINK Deco mesh system). It's important to note here that mesh systems are not perfect and most often, will only provide a wireless speed less than what your Internet connection is rated for. I was very fortunate to have gotten these kinds of speeds, but speaking with Eero support (who were excellent), they reminded me that, "In reality, the average wireless speed expected is at least 40% from the access point." This is a powerhouse product with very strong radios that provide ample coverage for a large multi-level home. That being said, like any new product, it's grossly overpriced. I also need to reiterate that at this price point, there should have been a USB port included to connect a hard drive. In the end, the numbers I provided speak for themselves. This mesh system exceeded my expectations. I have had no issues since connecting. I have no disconnections. I have no regrets. As Apple catches up and adds more WiFi 7 support to their products, I look forward to all my devices running at optimal WiFi speed.

I have had this for several months now and I wanted to give it time so I can write a proper review. Let me tell you this thing is a beast. It has never failed. It has never let me down. We have over 100 devices attached to it and everything has been very reliable and quick. It also broadcast out to another building 300 feet away. That is my workshop and I still get Wi-Fi in there. We have over 1tb of speed and it handles it so well. As for gaming this is what you want. It’s a little pricy but worth every penny

[Employee of bestbuy] Would be perfect if everything wasn't locked behind a subscription. Want to view any sort of network analytics? Only if you pay. Want to change any DDNS settings? You got it for $10/month or, since we are friends, $99.99/year. For $600 per node you would think these features would just be included. I can understand charging for VPN, anti virus, or ad blocker but network controls? On a mesh system that can cost thousands of dollars? Set up is pretty straight forward, just download and follow the app. Range is pretty decent, but you do quickly lose speed if you go a floor apart. I get it, a floor is pretty far but when a single node should cover 1500-2500 sq. Ft. I feel like I should get a stronger connection when one node is in an unfinished basement and the other is a floor up maybe 20 ft away... Instead I get about 1gb up and down on the hardwired node, but around 30-50 MB on the wireless node.

Ease of installation +5 stars. Am happy with the ease of setting up the multiple devices and the exceptional coverage they provide. Would highly recommend these to boost your network connection speed and performance.
