Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh wifi system - Supports internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps, Coverage up to 4,000 sq. ft., Connect 100+ devices, 2-pack

I'm a network engineer snob who won't hesitate a single second to give most of the home router and wifi junk sold today a terrible review when it's warranted. After having two router/wifi solutions made by that company that starts with Net and ends with Gear fail on me in less than 6 months, I was about ready to spend a few grand on a Ubiquiti solution and wire up my home for access points and cameras. Then a colleague and friend of mine suggested this eero mesh system as a lower cost/effort option. I'm not a fan of plug and play stuff and was skeptical but figured I could return it if not happy. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The set up was almost too easy. Just download the eero app to your phone, plug a device in and connect the 2.5g port to your router and the app will walk you through it all. Most importantly, it worked really well when solutions like this from other vendors don't forcing you to connect a cable and manually set up. At first I didn't like that there isn't any ability to give the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks different SSIDs (I had my previous router set up this way and changing this would have meant climbing up a ladder and reconfiguring several Ring cameras) but eero let's you change the name of the Guest Network to anything you want so this was an easy work around. As others have mentioned download the Wifiman app and shortcut and start scanning your house after you install the main router/wifi device. When you find spots that the signal drops below GOOD quality (-70dbm) drop another unit in between the first and where the signal dropped to poor quality. I bought the 3 pack thinking I'd need it to cover a 6,000 sq ft home. However one device was provided good coverage for most of my house and two provided either excellent or good signal strength everywhere inside and even outside on my patio and driveway. I only have one device on the first and second floors and both floors as well as the basement are all receiving good/excellent signal quality. I could have definitely saved $100 and gone with a two pack but I'm ok with having an extra device as a back up or if someone else in the family needs it (keep in mind any of these devices can act as a standalone router/wifi solution) or even to temporarily extend WiFi farther out into my yard in fair weather for outdoor gatherings etc.. Overall I'm impressed. The dashboard and tools/analytics included with the app are more than adequate for home users. You can even set up alerts for new devices connecting to your network. The GUI is modern and responsive and not like some of the traditional router vendors who still support an antiquated web login that takes forever to connect, lags between function and times out frequently. Time will tell if this is reliable but as mentioned a friend and colleague who owns his own network solution business told me he installs these in homes where the cost and wiring of a Ubiquiti or similar solution is prohibitive and he's never had an issue with their performance and reliability.

Not sure why this doesn’t have 5 stars from everyone! Got the three device set up and man this couldn’t have been easier to set up. This system is bomb, like I’m not sure how much easier of a setup people even want. Everything was basically plug-and-play, and the app walks you through it so smoothly it almost feels too easy. Performance-wise, it’s been amazing. The coverage is solid throughout the whole house, and the speeds are not just fast—they’re consistent everywhere on Wi-Fi, not just when you’re hardwired. I haven’t had any random drops or dead zones like I used to deal with. Compared to the Cox gateway, it’s not even close. They charge $15 a month to rent that thing and it doesn’t hold a candle to this setup—honestly kind of ridiculous. And the quality? Top tier. It honestly feels like an Apple product. From the packaging to the devices themselves, even the cords and the app—everything just feels super polished and premium. I’m actually glad Amazon acquired eero because you can see that level of refinement in the whole experience. My only complaint is the price tag. $400 is definitely not cheap. But when you break it down, Cox charges $15 a month to rent their gateway—that’s $180 a year. In just about two years, this system basically pays for itself, and you’re getting way better performance the whole time. Overall, 110% happy with this purchase.

We previously used the dual‑band eero 2 model, and it served us fairly well. After doing some research (and getting a little help from Copilot), we upgraded to the eero Pro 6E — and the difference has been incredible. We bought the 3‑pack, but quickly realized that 2 units easily covered our entire home (~2,000 sq ft). It’s not a loss, though; we’ll leave 2 behind for the family when we move and bring the extra 1 with us and we can buy another single unit later if needed. For context, we pay for 800 Mbps, but with our old modem/router combo we were only getting 70–150 Mbps in most rooms. Zoom calls were hit‑or‑miss, and the layout of our house doesn’t help — the modem is stuck in the far right corner of the house, and moving the line would require some construction/rewiring = $$$. After installing the eero Pro 6E, we’re now consistently getting 350–680 Mbps in every room, and even our garage pulls around 300 Mbps. That’s roughly an 80% improvement without touching any wiring. Setup was straightforward. Since we have a modem/router combo, the only tricky part was remembering to turn off the router portion. Once the main eero was connected, our devices automatically joined the new network since we kept the same Wi‑Fi name and password. From there, placing the second unit halfway through the house filled in the weak spots that we use to have. The speed and stability have been game‑changing for our hybrid/WFH household. We run Ring cameras, smart plugs, a MyQ garage opener, Google devices, and smart lights. For the smart lights, garage and smart locks, I had to manually reset the wifi though and 2 out of 7 of the ring cameras. Pros - Very easy to set up, especially if you’ve used eero before - The app makes managing devices, checking status, and updating Wi‑Fi info simple - Excellent coverage for homes with dead zones or awkward layouts - Truly plug‑and‑play — anyone can get this running Cons - It’s definitely pricey (we were lucky to have a gift card that covered most of it) - Much larger than the older eero 2 units — about 2.5× the size - Works best elevated on a table, so don’t leave it on the floor Overall, if you’re struggling with weak speeds, dead spots, or a modem stuck in a bad corner of the house, the eero Pro 6E is absolutely worth considering. It made a dramatic difference for us.

I'm only two days in to this, but I want to leave a review to help others who went through the same ordeal I have. This Eero Pro 6E has replaced an Orbi R750 system which I purchased in 2021 and used with two satellites. The Eero has some pros and cons over the Orbi. First, the reason for my replacement: while the Orbi still gives good coverage and speed, the stability of the wifi network has significantly decreased in the last year or so. I've done a lot of research on this and the only thing I can think of is that the Orbi 750 is rated for "40+" devices. I have "Smart Homed" my house and have 40-50 devices in total connected. Additionally, my wife owns a hair salon which operates out of our home so we have a guest wifi for that. So, I think that while theoretically the Orbi should still be fine, in practice it can't deal with more than 40 or so devices and starts "cycling through them" causing some devices to disconnect and reconnect repeatedly. I live in a rural area where cell signal is lousy, so you notice it very quickly when your device loses connectivity - especially if you are streaming. What good is my 65" OLED TV with wifi sound and my $300 a month cable and internet bill if I can't use the damn thing? So, on the Eero. I bought the three unit package since it was on sale (I'd actually initially bought the 2 unit package, and they went on sale the day afterwards so I returned it and ordered the 3 set. One complaint is that while I think you should get a "bulk deal" by ordering a 3 pack over a 2 pack over a single unit, but it's a huge difference. The 3 pack was $350 which equals $116 each. To buy just one if you misjudged how many you need, would be another $160.) Set up was quite simple, and was all done through the app. So it gets +1 for ease of use. As others have noted, there is no web log in and without the Eero plus subscription, there isn't much beyond set up and maintain the wifi. For the majority of users this is likely to not be a problem. Due to my recent wifi challenges, I wanted to use the analytics function of the app to see how the new coverage compared to the old. You can't do that without the plus subscription. So that's strike 1. However, you can set up the Guest network and basic things like that with the regular app access, so at least there's that. Likewise, adding each additional unit was pretty easy. What I recommend you do is download an app like WiFiman (which seems pretty legit) after you set up your first Eero and walk around with the shortcut function on in the WiFiman app which will tell you the signal strength as you move about. I would say right about the limit of where it stops being either "Excellent" or "Good" is where you need to place your next Eero unit. "Excellent" ensures the best quality, but if you have a lot of space to cover you'd need to stretch it to "Good". I will note here that unlike the Orbi, which has a router and two (or more) satellites, each Eero unit is functionally identical, so it doesn't matter which one you grab first, and which one are the satellites. It's easy to add the next Eero device from the app even if you didn't immediately select "Add another device" after the first one. Like I said, I recommend walking around and getting an idea of your coverage needs before adding the next ones anyway. So that's a +1, again for ease of use. However, I notice compared to the Orbi that its range and speed drops off much faster the further you get. So, you're not going to get the overall quality range. I noticed this while out doing yardwork this morning - my phone would stay on the Orbi wifi a hundred or so feet from the house. It loses the Eero wifi (or, the quality goes way down) at the same range. So this is another point that I guess I knew, but is important to remember: at range, the speed at which you transmit decreases despite what your internet connection actually is. So, for example, my service provider gives me 1000 mb/S service which is reasonably fast. Standing next to the Eero unit which is connected to my modem via the ethernet cable gives me close to that speed. But, get a dozen feet away with a wall in the way, and you are down to about 400 mb/s. As stated, the Orbi has better range and the speed keeps up better. But what good is range and speed if you are constantly getting booted off the Wifi? Supporting my max device theory, I'd often get booted off the Orbi wifi somewhat predictably at various times in the day. Last night, on the new Eero network, it didn't happen! I was able to stay connected the whole time. (As was my mother in law in the in-law apartment, so not having to deal with that is a major plus!). So stability is a +2 on the score scale. Finally, if you're like me and have several dozen Wifi devices you don't need to worry about the new Eero units and compatibility - as long as you name your new Wifi network the same and keep the same password, the devices don't know the difference. They connect to the new network the same way they'd go back to your old one as if it were nothing more than a power outage. So, ultimately the Eero 6E is a little slower and gives a little less coverage than the Orbi 750....but unlike the Orbi it says it will take "100+" devices...and it *works*. At least so far. That said, I'd definitely get it on sale. While functionality is always key, the fact is the features are much less than many competitors. It might not be worth the full price.

Previously just had the standard wifi router provided by ATT with fiber connection. It was fine really but some parts of the house lacked good signal. Purchased the 6 Pro E and put the ATT router in bridge mode, the Eero instructions on doing that were perfect and it worked. The 6 Pro E was up and running in minutes and did it's own software updated immediately. Was super easy to rename the network, set the password and permissions and every single device that was previously on the old router connected seamlessly on it's own without any intervention. I think possibly one 2.5GHz device may not have auto-connected but it connected just fine once I put it in pairing mode. We have a lot of devices, mixed 5ghz and 2.5ghz, and so far both networks broadcast fine and everything works. Also 5th Gen Echo Dots seamlessly boost the wifi signal and I already had those in nearly every room before getting the Eero 6 Pro E. Few things to note: I don't pay for Eero Plus subscription so I don't use any of the extra reporting features. New devices connect with what looks like a random code or with a manufacturers name, which usually does not help identify what it is. That can be a challenge when you're trying to figure out if it is something you just added or someone else who managed to get in passed the firewall. Googling the name that shows up does not always help figure out what it is. For some reason my iphone reconnects every few weeks as a "new device" with a name of "unknown device". This does not happen with my husband's iphone. This means that at any given time there is one active "unknown device" and several others that are inactive with that name. Looks like eventually they drop off the recently connected inactive list. Even if I rename it to something specific, after a few weeks it will reconnect as if it's brand new and I'll get an Eero notification that a new device has connected. It is frustrating to have to continually check the app to make sure it's just my own phone and not something intruding. The Eero devices have a Zigbee hub built-in but my recent purchase of motorized Alexa compatible shades with Zigbee motors had issues. They connected sort of, but were not functioning in the Alexa app even though both Eero and the shade manufacturer said they should work. Eventually I had to also buy 2 older 4th gen Echo's that also have a Zigbee hub built-in, only then would they be found by Alexa and then they started working in Alexa app with voice and scheduling. However, adding the old 4th gen echos created two more issues: While every single other device in my house on other floors away from the Eero 6 Pro can connect just fine because I have 5th Gen Echos in most rooms boosting the mesh coverage, for some reason, the 4th Gen Echo placed on the second floor could not connect to the 6 Pro E router on the first floor. I had to end up buying a second Eero 6 for the second floor to act as a booster up there as well. Only then did the second floor 4th Gen Echo connect to wifi and stay connected. That's very odd because everything else on the second floor and in the basement and detached garage had no issues connecting to either the wide array of 5th Gen Echos or to the main 6 Pro E on the first floor. The second new issue... the Eero devices are set to roam automatically which is the point of mesh coverage. However, the Zigbee shades hated that feature and would constantly bounce from the nearest 4th Gen Echo to the 6 Pro E and back. Each bounce made them "unresponsive" in the Alexa App. Eventually I had to turn off that roaming feature in the Eero app settings so that every device now connects to whichever Echo or Eero it sees first and then stays there. Defeats the purpose of having mesh but it was the only way to make the $2000 worth of "smart" shades actually work with the network and Alexa.

This review is on the EEPRO 6E tri-band mesh. I'm not a network novice so after my bad experience I wanted to warn people away from this product. In my 25 years working in technology infrastructure I've acquired experience, network certifications, etc believe me when I claim I'm not stupid. I live in a three floor house on an acre lot so have little external signal penetration into my home. All rooms I wired with Cat6 for gigabit ethernet. My internet service is 1Gb; from the wire I speed test at 800 Mbps down and the same upload. No one in my family wants to plug in anymore so we all rely on three independent wireless routers connected by wire and bridged into the network: a netgear nighthawk (2,4Ghz and 5Ghz bands) on floor two, a Verizon gigabit router (2,4Ghz and 5Ghz bands) on floor three and an apple extreme (2.4Ghz band ) on floor one in the basement. From my apple phone (12 pro) I consistently get 550Mbps download and 300-400 upload except on the basement router where my office is. I wanted a mesh to improve signal handoff and for my office to get the same as the rest of the house. I picked this one because I read good things and the price was discounted compared to the orbi which at $2,000 I just could not bring myself to buy. The installation of the first node was easy (connect to the wire and run the app) on the second floor, the second node complained it was out of reach on floor 1 (directly under node one & connected to the ethernet wire). After two attempts to find it, it worked. The third one was a nightmare. Tried putting it on the other side of the house and connect to ethernet and just would not pickup. I had to bring it one room away from node one before it picked up. Job done? Well the first day I had 450 Mbps download and 400 upload everywhere. Thinking I was happy. Next day, "Dad we have no wifi!". My wife tells me she was dropping connections from her laptop all day within 20 feet of node 2. I thought ok I'll reset the system. Re-input all their devices with fresh connections. That worked for 24 hours. Next day, I'm sitting in the room with node2 and it affect me; 1Mbps download .01 Mbps upload. I renew my connection, no fix. Reset the system and back to 450 Mbps. I check any firmware updates, nope all current. I thought maybe the node below #2 was too close, so moved it an additional 15 feet away to lessen any signal cancellation. Next day,"Honey why did you buy this, it slower and worse than our old system?'. Yep it's time to return. So the old network went back in and all iphones and macbooks are happy again. Here is the worst part, the return. I initiate the return, pack it all nice and find out I can't drop it off at the UPS store. Why? Because Amazon will only process the return if they pickup from my home. Ugg, but fine. Here is where it goes downhill...you have to wait for a phone call from the carrier to arrange a pickup. After a week of waiting for a call and answering numerous telemarketer garbage calls, I decided to call back customer service and find another way because I have to travel for work and can't wait at my house for a phone call. The only other way - is to pay for shipping yourself. So um why can a return label or QR code be processed for anything else but not this product. Very Dodgey. Do yourself a favor and pick another system or maybe the mesh is just not worth it. PS. I did find out that the system ( even though it has a 2.5Mbps network port) is rated as one of the slower systems when it works. I could never get it as fast as my existing netgear with is over 2 years old.

I’ve gone through my fair share of networking setups, and let me tell you: finding the right combination of modem and router can be a nightmare. Previously, I had Cox’s Gigablast (coaxial) paired with an ARRIS Surfboard S33 modem and an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro router. If you’re on cable, you’re not going to do better than an ARRIS Surfboard. It's rock solid. But ASUS? That’s another story. For a tri-band WiFi 6 router, the range was absolute garbage. Fast forward to my recent move. I switched to AT&T Fiber with the BGW320-500 gateway, and guess what? More disappointment. The UI was terrible, the system was locked down to dual-band, and the range was a struggle. My previous place was a two-story townhome, but now I’m in a one-story home with more square footage plus a larger lot where I plan to install security cameras. The last thing I needed was weak WiFi coverage. After doing my research, I landed on the eero Pro 6E (3-pack). Honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Here’s the thing about the eero Pro 6E: It just works. No complicated setup, no fine-tuning needed. You plug it in, follow a few steps in the app, and that’s it. If you’re the kind of person who loves to tweak every setting on your network, this isn’t the hardware for you. But if you want reliable, high-performance WiFi without the headaches, this is hands-down one of the best mesh systems out there. The range is excellent, the speeds are fast, and I finally have full-home coverage, indoors and out. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or setting up smart home devices, the eero Pro 6E handles it all effortlessly. On my Apple devices that support 6E, I'm getting more than 1 Gbps up and down on wireless. That's incredible. If you’re tired of routers that promise a lot but underdeliver, do yourself a favor and get the eero Pro 6E. You won’t regret it.

I was using 7 first generation Google pucks for the last several years to cover my home (2 stories and a basement), the pool area, and a barn behind pool... with over 50 devices regularly connected. Earlier this year, the Google system started to act up, sporadic reductions in coverage and disconnections that required regular restarts. As Prime Day approached this Oct in 2024, I was having to reset the system almost daily - it was time to upgrade. After doing a little research, I settled on the Eero Pro 6E system.... with Prime promos, it was the sweet spot for value/performance, to me anyway. Although these Eero pucks are a bit larger than I would like, the mesh system as a whole is fantastic. Super quick and easy to setup once you download the app. I bought a 4-pack, but honestly, I am fully covered with 3 of them (vs the need for 7 google pucks). No dead spots, with 85-98% connection everywhere in the house, the backyard pool area... and the barn that is 100 feet away from the house, where I have Sonos amps/speakers with Amazon firestick connected to a projector, and on office setup. Simply amazing. No issues at all since I installed. I will probably hold onto the 4th puck in case I decide to expand coverage to a new area for cameras or something. Not sure why I saw some 1-star reviews here. I am not trying to do anything fancy like split up bands.... and yes, you might need to reconnect some devices even if you keep the same wifi name and password (which I did for simplicity). We have an iAqualink connection for the pool equipment that wasn't working originally. Reddit told me that Eero won't work with it, but that is simply not true. You just need to reattach it to the new network (which requires you to toggle a switch in the iAqualink base unit, search for that iAqualink network on your phone... which takes you to Zodiac.com, where you assign the wireless network). I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again!
