Great upgrade for my SLOW internet speeds

So I'll write a less common situation review addressing those individuals like myself who live in the 'sticks' and have horribly slow internet (5mb down and 750kb up---yes under 1mb on the up!). So my internet bandwidth is essentially a one computer or one streaming device pony, where if I try to do much more than that--well its not great. However, I struggle with the fact that I own an arlo system, a few wyze cams, several streaming boxes, 40 wifi connected switches/devices, etc (a modern techy home with low bandwidth).
I'd been running on an airport extreme with an airport express (as a repeater) for years and its been a reliable workhorse. However, I was experiencing latency and some slow clicks between web pages, buffering, etc.
I reviewed a ton, was looking at Orbi (because I like to tinker), but went with Eero for the stated reliability. So far so good. I noticed an immediate improvement in lower latency and snappiness for web page loading. Buffering streaming videos went down significantly. Overall maintained speed was much better. Again all at horrible bandwidths as I have SLOW internet. So the system is really efficient.
As others stated setup was super fast, but BEWARE...no PPPOE interface on Eero (so I rigged my Airport extreme as a router--no wifi, to suffice). Once done I was setup in 10 minutes with 2 beacons running too. Great range and plenty of coverage in a 3200 sq ft house with the yards largely strong as well.
I really like that you can identify all your WIFI devices, pause them, see their data consumption, see new devices added, etc. That really helps me manage the system more closely to prioritize devices.
So far super smooth. I think the price is spendy and $400 is up there, but if it just 'keeps working' without much attention or any failures, I think its worth the value. If you have SLOW internet and you're looking for something to make it better--this is a good solution.

I have used this eero mesh system many times in very large homes. The range and speed is great and never had any faulty units. This is very easy to setup and is very reliable.

This system resolved all my wifi issues. Just works every time I use it. Easy setup no muss no fuss. Updates are done without assistance. If you are on the fence buy it you won't be disappointed. For a even better experience opt for the 3 eero system. More money but even better than this. Beacons are better when space is limited

Never Think About Your Wifi Again

I'm a tech guy and work in IT. I've had a lot of routers. I've spent money on expensive networking appliances. This mesh system is the easiest and most reliable wi-fi system I've ever used. More than enough speed, great range and covers the whole house. I still use my Netgear X10 for port aggregation, VPN, etc, but use the Eero as Access Points and tuned the Wi-Fi off on the Netgear. Best decision ever... and money well spent. I don't think about my wi-fi anymore... it just works.

I was using a Netgear Nighthawk but Wi-Fi signal was weak in a few areas of the house. I got the EERO and the Wi-Fi signal strength is incredibly strong everywhere in the house. Very easy to setup and flexible for where you place them in your rooms.

Problem. Solution. Questions?

PROBLEM: DSL router from CentLink (with purchased 40 Mbps download speed) is totally inadequate for a part home. I have 15-20 devices online (depends on how any kids are home), and DSL was unable to get through the traffic jam. No streaming video, devices getting bumped, just a TOTAL hassle. Speedtests showed my phone getting an average of 22Mbps (sometimes throughput was as low as 9.1 Mbps!) and I was getting pretty tired of it.
SOLUTION: Eero to the rescue! Bought the system with high hopes, and it TOTALLY SOLVED the problem. I have 16 devices going as I write this, and all is running perfectly smoothly, no bumps, no dropped devices, no spinning wheels when I want to watch video. The average speeds are 40+ Mbps. This is what Al Gore thought the internet experience should be when he invented it!
PROPS to Eero for making this SUPER EASY. Took less than 15 min to connect and get my computers connected. Of course, alarms and doorbells and smart plugs and speakers took a bit of time to add into the system, but it is super easy to do - just takes some time. Also, since I easily can monitor the devices online, I can see if my teen son somehow cracked into my system - and I can immediately block him or anyone's devices with a simple click.
PROPS also to the GREAT Best Buy associates who helped me get past the high price of the Eero. Gulp, how much $$$? Yes, there are cheaper systems. No, there aren't many that cost more than Eero. However, my peace of mind, my time, the controls I now have - and the sanity of my family - have been worth the extra costs!
TOTALLY recommend.

Extremely easy to set up and use. Increased my WIFI speed and comfortably covers my entire home (just over 2000 sq. ft.) I got it on sale making it extremely competitive with all other popular WIFI mesh networks - the biggest negative from most review sites was it's price compared to others.
The app is easy to use and provides additional functionality, including the ability to monitor devices, turn on and off devices and share with a guest/visitor.
They do offer a paid monthly service for additional security and protect, but I have not added that service at this time.

I had animations turned off in the Android Developer settings of my phone which caused the setup app to hang. I wasted 2 hours trying to figure out the problem and assumed it was with my cable modem. Found a reddit thread about this issue, and once I turned animations back on, the setup was able to complete no problem.
Pros: Easy setup, good coverage, good speed, great configuration options
Cons: Smartphone App required, no browser-accessible configuration available like previous routers

After plans for replacing my modem-router combo, I stumbled upon this product with the best sale price! Without a doubt, this exceeded my expectations for what I originally planned to upgrade to. THIS DEVICE IS AMAZING! Prior to this, I wasn’t able to achieve my full internet speed with my equipment. Now with the Eero and 1 beacon, my whole home is definitely covered with no slowdowns. So far so good. Also I can use my WiFi in my parking lot which is a plus. Initial setup was easy. Would definitely recommend this line of Eero products.

Let me set the stage. I have a 10-year old basic Cisco router, COX ISP with 150 mbps plan and a 1 and a half story house (to me its 3 stories.) Only 6 wireless devices on at a time.
I recently purchased an OLED TV and wanted to stream Netflix at its highest resolution. Couldn’t be done with my router so I started to research routers and mesh systems. I also talked to Best Buy employees. And I spent time on each manufacturer’s website looking at product information but more importantly looking at their support pages.
I eventually picked the EERO pro with 2 beacons. Could not be happier with my purchase. Great website support. It was easy to find answers to all of my questions. The app was also easy to use and had me up and running within 15 minutes.
I placed the pro in a basement corner where my ISP cable came into the house. A beacon was placed about 40 feet from there, also in the basement to support the OLED TV. And finally, the last beacon was placed in the middle of the main floor.
I now have max or near max internet speeds throughout our house. I’m now getting the speed I have been paying for. Prior to this my speeds ranged from high teens to mid-thirties depending on where I was in the house.
I will say the units run rather warm in my opinion and could use some form of visible venting. Also the apps floor plan failed to work but I didn't need it for help on where to place the units.
Highly recommend!

Fast, easy setup, Lacks backend logs

Yup, its crazy fast. On average I have about 15 devices connected and nothing falters. I even have one of the beacons in a cottage that is separated by a storage shed and like 10+ extra feet and I still have excellent coverage.
Setup was a breeeeeeze! If you're comfortable playing games on your phone, being online and browsing websites, or just basic computer work you can get through it without a hiccup.
Logs... Eero Plus... So, you can pay an extra $10 a month and get their plus version. This enables some added security features. Which work well except for when you need to access the data to get records on who's device was connected and pulling particular data off the net. There's no backend. There's no web interface. There's no extra depth for the experienced network user to help with security. Thats really my only gripe.
Overall, if you can afford it, do it. I'd buy it again and again.

I previously used an apple network. My speed would drop from 100+ downloads at the router to 20-30 when on the range extender. With eero I now get 100+ everywhere in my house. System was extremely simple to set up and software is very user friendly.

Through the years I have relied on Apple products for my wireless networking throughout our 3-story townhome. I am forced to update as we have moved but I wanted a simple, clean user interface and required a strong signal in our larger home. My better half constantly reminded me how our previous network was not adequate.
Unpacking - simple and clean. Download and install the app. on your smart phone before you start doing anything as it walks you through the install (and does an incredibly simple and great job of it).
Install and setup of the main hub took me all of about 5 minutes! As I was replacing an existing wireless setup once I had the system up and running all my devices connected automatically after entering the password. Setting up the Beacons took about 10 minutes, with most the time taken in selecting location so I would have a good mesh of the signal. Again, the App. walks you through every step, and lets you know if you have selected a good spot or if you might want to move a beacon to a different location for a better mesh. The App. is a thing of beauty, with all the information you need right at your fingertips. The stuff you usually want to customize (like the names of the Beacons) are customizable. Once I had all the Beacons set up I went through the house trying to find a weak spot or dead spot. Couldn't find one - not one!
Also, a note about Apple products. I have read the other reviews that say the eero doesn’t work well with Apple products. I don’t know why they are having problems. My system has been up and running for about a month now with zero problems. And it stays connect rock solid to all manner of devices (about 16 I believe) including iPads, iPhones, an iMac, a MacBook Pro, a Smart Thermostat, a couple Apple TV’s, a Ring Smart Doorbell and three Ring cameras. Oh, and two of them do double duty as night lights. And the system has updated itself twice that I know of (I would only know as it would tell me after the fact).

No more buffering wifi! Even though my house is not that big amd I had a good router (AC1900), I still had problems with buffering in certain rooms. My new Eero has taken care of the problem! I now have wifi in every room without buffering.

I own 2 of the originals. Purchased this to help blanket new 3200 square foot home. Works perfect. Have had to contact eero support a handful of times for minor questions and the support has been very good. The only downside is price.

Bought this to replace a 6-year-old Linksys that wasn't cutting it anymore with heavy working from home. Easy setup, though it takes a little time over your phone's cell network. Placed the main eero where the Lynksys used to be and added the one beacon in the far bedroom that had a weak signal. Now I have excellent wifi signal all over the house except for one dark corner of the basement. It doesn't hold full internet speeds (up to 50% lower) at the farthest distances from the units, but is still fairly strong; because of this and the fairly hefty price it only has an average value. Chose this over the Google Nest. Generally happy with my selection. App is pretty user friendly.
