It is faster.. I haven't done a head to head but knowing the the 2nd gen was marginally faster than the first gen, and knowing this is sometimes twice as fast as the first gen... yeah, it is faster on paper (and when measured). But put that in perspective, these are raw numbers we are talking about, but what do they really mean? if you are not having problems with your second gen (lagging or excessive buffering) that means its good enough, and for most applications you wouldn't notice faster.. You might notice faster if you are downloading huge video files before playing (like 5 gb). And I believe your 2nd gen is tri-band? This is only dual-band. That extra band is for node to node communication and no doubt makes things smoother. Should you upgrade? I would be tempted to go to the tri-band Eero Pro 6 if I had money to spare and lots of WIFI-6 devices, but not sure the speed increase on the dual-band Eero 6 is enough to get me to change. Bottom line is WIFI-6 is new, a lot of dust has to shake out so waiting for the next gen might be smart.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
