I first bought this back in November, and tried setting it up, but hit a snag. The Eero Android app has a really nice setup walkthrough process, but it kept telling me that the Eero couldn't connect. I didn't get around to looking into it again until today, when I ran into the same issue. But this time, I realized I could call Eero support.
I had to wait ~15 minutes on the phone, but then the technician I spoke to was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to look into what was going on on the backend of our account, and he could see what was going wrong, and remedy it from his end. (I'm fuzzy on the details here.) After his help, I was able to finish setting up Eero router correctly, and connect to the new wifi network.
And it turns out its range is AMAZING! The Eero router is in the front of our house, and I want internet to reach out into our back yard and to the cottage at the back of our yard. I figured I'd need to buy another Eero extender to get the internet out that far, but in my quick testing a few minutes ago, I was able to load a Youtube video with nearly no lag at all at the back of my yard. My housemate isn't home so I couldn't actually test *inside* their cottage. So it's possible I'll still need to buy one extender if the internet isn't strong enough inside the cottage, but even if that's the case, the Eero's range is still way better than our previous router's range. I'm really happy with this.

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. |

Best thing to ever happen to internet!
I’ve been having my eero 6 going on 3 years and I’ve had little to no issues at all that being said the issues only arise when there is an update somewhere down the line (Apple, eero, firetv, etc) that hasn’t downloaded so I just go in and manually install the updates and check everything else for updates while I’m at it this usually fixes whatever issues I was having. I now have about 65-70 devices or more if I have company over. I have two 4k TVs which are the Fire TVs which one of them also has my Apple tv connected to it, a MacBook Pro, an iPad my iPhone and every light in my place is either Nanoleaf (2-3 canvas setups , 4 essentials bulbs, and over 100’ of essentials strips, 2 massive shapes displays, two massive lines displays, and the nanoleaf 4D) or Philips Hue (on average about 50 lightbulbs and strips (combined) 2 hue signes, 2 hue Iris’, 1 hue solo 16’ two hue go lamps, 1 hue go table lamp , and two hue Festavia -1 is the 250 count and 1 is the 100 count and I also have 5 Phillips hue bridges (1 per room) 1 Sonos One, 1 Sonos one SL, 2 Sonos and ikea symphonic speakers, 1 Sonos Roam , Aqara G4 video doorbell, 2 Aqara E1 cameras, 1 Aqara G3 and 2 Aqara G2H Cameras, an apple HomePod mini, and a multitude of twinkly lights including 2 twinkly matrix, and I run all this on my Xfinity gig package and my eero with their modem router combo in bridge mode and this is the life!! I never want any other internet setup it’s simply AMAZING!

I've had multiple routers through the years, but this is the best one I've used. I'm not tech savvy, but the setup was relatively easy. (If you're remotely tech savvy, this will be a breeze!) You do need to use the app for this. It was particularly helpful in determining what I might have done wrong and how to correct it.
I have multiple devices in the house; some use 2.4G and 5GHz. It easily distinguishes between them, and everything runs smoothly. Some routers make this claim - I've had them - but they couldn't connect, or when they did, it was for a fleeting moment. The range is also quite good. I have a treadmill in the basement on the opposite side of the house, and there are no issues. Whereas the previous routers would occasionally hiccup.
Once a device connects, you can give it a name to see all the devices. You can name them and group them into categories - personal, entertainment, home, etc. You can also see when any device has recently been online. When family comes over and accesses the network, I can give each device that connects a name, ie: Janes - iPhone, Tommys iPad. I like to know who's trying to connect in case it's someone who shouldn't be!
I LOVE eero Security+ - it's a paid subscription service but well worth it. I balked at first, but after a free month, I couldn't imagine not using it. It provides daily, weekly, and monthly reports on how much data was downloaded and uploaded, the fastest download and slowest upload. However, the most eye-opening was seeing the number of "scans, threat blocks, and content blocks." Reports are provided on each device.
I highly recommend this router, without hesitation!
