    After using eero for one year, I have to say that they don't live up to the hype they get. They are still sometimes not reliable, requiring a restart every month or so.

    Plus, the app is weird. Periodically it will just prompt me to sign in again. However, if decline and restart the app - it will let me through without requiring to sign in again anymore.

      If that's the case i would steer people to just buy the Deco M5s for less

      • Rail Rider95 on 08/07/2022 - 09:07

        Whilst I agree, the Deco M5 isn't flawless. I also still have to restart mine occasionally, probably monthly.
        I also had to segregate my 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks (2.4 became my guest) as it was forcing my devices to connect on the 2.4 at a much slower speed.

      • Sapiens on 08/07/2022 - 10:07

      That’s odd. I’ve been running mine for over 2 years and never really had any issues.

      • nyteshaiid on 11/07/2022 - 19:31

        Likewise. About 1yr now

        • AL0126 on 13/07/2022 - 15:58

          +1, have two eero networks set up (one at home (3 nodes), one at the office (2 nodes)), all are of the version posted here (eero 2nd-gen cupcake model) and they are both flawless.
          Unstable eero networks usually have to do with invalid topologies, according to the developers.

    What I don't like about these, is useful features are locked behind a pay wall.

    • Activity data, it will only show you activity data at a high level for the week you're currently on. Daily, monthly, and previous weeks are locked behind the pay wall.
    • Dynamic DNS.
    • Adblocking, this might be fair enough to charge a fee for.
    • Content filtering.
    • Site blocking.

      holy smokes, a paywall for a physical product which is already quite pricy? that's crazy.

      • Thrifty McGifty on 08/07/2022 - 10:08

        Welcome to mesh routers, which all seem to require an account to login.

          and what's even more welcoming is it seems TP-link separates its product lines - you need a Deco login and a Tapo/Kasa login if you have smart devices. winning!

        I wouldn’t call $100 per unit or $250 for 3 units pricy, its quite reasonable IMHO compared to the competition. Other manufacturers like Netgear charges a subscription even with their $1000+ Orbi units which I know is crazy, but compared to them this is not too bad.

        • krouton24 on 08/07/2022 - 11:50

          Agree. Also, all these units are routers/nodes meaning you could buy the 3 pack and give/sell the ones you dont need.

        • Ben Kenobi on 08/07/2022 - 11:53

          Yeah but this is the older model. I have a eero 6 (got it as an incentive to stay with Superloop) and it works well…main thing I like is WPA3 and wifi6 support…but a 3 pack of eero6 is hugely overpriced.

          • Domicron on 09/07/2022 - 19:39

            @Ben Kenobi: Asus AC67U, had ours since launch (AC68U didnt come in twin pack), rock solid.

    Waiting for the wifi 6, eero 6 pro 3pk to go in special under $600 hopefully

    • Gowaratahs on 08/07/2022 - 09:30

      At double the price… is the Eero 6 actually that much better than the 5? (prefer layman's terms, I'm no techie though I have the 5 that seems to do a reasonable job)

  • lordbpp on 08/07/2022 - 09:26

    I absolutely love my Eero's

    sure, sometimes I have to hit restart on the network, but not very often.

    I got one for each room so we have WiFi everywhere, but each of my kids PlayStations have a LAN connection. I love them.

    • KeplersLaws on 08/07/2022 - 09:39

      i dont get it… all this talk about forcing restarts.. i never turn off my vanilla modem router and it works flawlessly — is restarting something that is to be considered part and parcel for these new mesh networks or are they just not as reliable as your everyday RT-AC68u

      • Rail Rider95 on 08/07/2022 - 14:30

        Restarts have always been a thing for every router I've had previously (they weren't mesh routers). Some were telco provided, otherwise were aftermarket reputable brands. All needed occasional restarts.

        • PostingMan on 12/07/2022 - 02:45

          This is not true. My current router says up time for the last 8 months. Asus AC88U

          • Rail Rider95 on 12/07/2022 - 07:54

            @PostingMan: I specifically stated for routers I've used. Wasn't making a sweeping generalisation.

  • papagoose on 08/07/2022 - 09:44

    I've also had a good experience with my Eero's, had them for a year and almost never need to restart them. I was using them in bridge mode though, so maybe that's why. At any rate, the app has been fine and it's all 'just worked' so I'm very happy with them

  • M00Cow on 08/07/2022 - 09:55

    But the eero's aren't tri band are they?

    Why you'd spend all that money and not have a dedicated backhaul band is beyond me. That's where your speed difference is.

    Also wifi6 is gentler on your device's battery.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 08/07/2022 - 09:58

      Why you'd spend all that money and not have a dedicated backhaul band is beyond me.

      Can you explain in plain english please?

      • Carve2 on 08/07/2022 - 10:27
        +2

        The way I understand it is this: when you're running mesh units via WiFi links to each other (i.e. not cabling them all back to a central point), part of your WiFi bandwidth is "used up" to act as the virtual cable (backhaul) between each unit.

        If you've got a tri-band mesh system, then one of those WiFi bands (typically one of the 5GHz bands) is dedicated just for the backhaul, so your phones/laptops/smartTV/smart-sextoys have full access to both a 2.4GHz band and another 5GHz band completely.

        Short version - more speed for fun things thanks to not having to all share bandwidth.

        • IMadeYouReadThis on 08/07/2022 - 10:54

          thanks, I just need one router for my purposes so bought Eero to test it out. If it doesn't fix the dead spot at my place, I might look for something more stronger.

        • tjioer on 08/07/2022 - 12:51

          lol sextoys

          Simple example for my 100/20 connection at my multi storey double brick house:

          Dual Band mesh router max download speed: ~85Mbps
          Tri Band mesh router max download speed: ~102Mbps

        • Rail Rider95 on 08/07/2022 - 14:33

          The Deco M5 is dual band and I can't say I've noticed any issues with wireless backhaul degrading my speeds. I'm on a 250mb connection and still get within a couple of mb of the speeds my primary router achieves. Not just in speed tests, but also in practical downloads.

      • M00Cow on 08/07/2022 - 11:19
        +1

        It's like have a dedicated bus lane between your mesh units/router.

        These Dual band mesh units, the bus joins the general road traffic & congestion.

        Basically if you have a router & 2 mesh units (lets say both mesh units connect directly to the router via wifi, not through each other.

        If you have 5 wifi devices connected directly to the router & another 5 via the mesh unit, the mesh unit has to compete/queue up with the 5 directly connected devices, as they use the same frequency/wifi channel.

        With a tri-band system, the mesh unit has it's own seperate (bus lane) frequency/wifi channel. So the 5 directly connected devices have their own wifi channel and the mesh unit has it's own wifi channel.

    • papagoose on 08/07/2022 - 10:22

      $250 isn't really that much, are there any products with dedicated backhaul and a comparable price for 3 units?

      • M00Cow on 08/07/2022 - 11:46
        +1

        You're right. But it's still only wifi5 & dual band.

        I got a Asus xt8 1 router + mesh, which easily covers more then this for under $550 a year ago.

  • y2k on 08/07/2022 - 11:34

    Given most of us in Australia are on at best 100Mbps and most of us on 50 (and likely to stay that way for a few years, after which we can likely upgrade to Wifi 6 devices cheaply), how much benefit is there to Wifi 6 Eeros vs Wifi 5? The Tri Band thing I get, but not the 5 v 6

      how much benefit is there to Wifi 6 Eeros vs Wifi 5?

      If all you need is to share your 50 or 100Mbps over WiFi then probably not much of a benefit. But if you need a faster LAN for media streaming, backing up your devices to a NAS, have WiFi cameras streaming to a NVR etc. then a faster mesh system with more bandwidth can help.

      • M00Cow on 08/07/2022 - 11:54

        And also wifi6 is better at managing larger number of connected devices. I've got 24 wifi connected devices at the moment.

    HOLD for Wifi 6E.

    • opt on 08/07/2022 - 13:52

      You’ll have to hold for at least a couple of years to get Wifi 6E mesh systems at this price. WiFi 6 came to the market over a year ago, but they still cost a fair chunk more, 6E just started rolling out in Australia, do the math. But if price is no concern then by all means get a 6E system, The Asus ZenWiFi Pro XT12 is a pretty sweet system or you can grab the Orbi quadband AXE11000 3 pack for a little under $3k.
