    Just set up my free one from More FTTP upgrade, super simple and intuitive set up, reminded me of the old apple airport routers, so far recommend.

      more are selling the eero 6, which is the newer WiFi 6 or 802.11ax capable one.

      This is the older WiFi 5 or 802.11ac one. Additionally it will lack Zigbee and Thread support.

      Personally, i would not trust any Amazon device in my home as Jeff Bozo seems dead set on using everyone's internet to expand his own mesh networks off your own power and wifi…

      In the usa in 2021…
      "If you use Alexa, Echo, or many other Amazon devices, you have only 10 days until you're opted in to an experiment that leaves your personal privacy and security hanging in the balance.

      On June 8, the merchant, Web host, and entertainment behemoth will automatically enroll the devices in Amazon Sidewalk. The new wireless mesh service will share a small slice of your Internet bandwidth with neighboring Sidewalk-capable devices that don’t have connectivity. Sidewalk will also help your Amazon devices to a sliver of bandwidth from other Sidewalk users when you don’t have a connection."

      There is also talk about your amazon wifi devices being used for tracking devices etc. A pretty sly way for Amazon to increase their reach and steal your internet if you ask me…

  • peuwayaqdq on 05/07/2023 - 21:20

    I am considering to upgrade from FTTN to FTTP (Superloop). Reading from the following comment in the product page on Amazon:

    If you are FttP (not FttN), you do NOT need another “modem” as you actually have what’s called a Network Termination Device (NTD) which was installed inside your house by NBN. The NTD converts the fibre connection to you house to an Ethernet connection. You just plug the eero straight into the NTD’s “UNI-D” port (data port) and you’re good to go.

    Am I right to say that I can just upgrade to FTTP and eero is all I need after upgrade and I don't need to buy a new modem?

    • Miksta on 05/07/2023 - 21:23

      Yes, That is correct.

    • Twix on 05/07/2023 - 21:23

      That is right. Plug in the eero router to the nbn NTD. Check that the eero WAN type is set to DHCP for Superloop.

      Correct, I'm on FTTP and have an ethernet cable from the UNI-D port to my router.

    • Weshouldgetsushi on 05/07/2023 - 21:26

      Still need a router to put in your username and password to connect with PPPOE as I have to with my FTTC?

      • Twix on 05/07/2023 - 21:38

        eero has a built-in router and can be configured for ISPs that use IPoE for authentication.

    • xyron on 05/07/2023 - 21:42
      +1

      Yep - when you upgrade to FTTP, you'll get an NTD box screwed to the wall somewhere with an ethernet output, which you'll plug into the back of one of the eeros.

      • shroomish on 12/07/2023 - 13:38

        if i upgrade to FTTP and then downgrade my service speed later - what happens, do i need a router again or do i get FTTN delivered via FTTP?

        • xyron on 12/07/2023 - 13:39

          Nup, you keep the FTTP tech and they just slow your speeds. Best of both worlds!

    • EWing1389 on 05/07/2023 - 21:47

      Just noting not all these routers support vlan tagging. Superloop probably doesn’t use it, but I’m on TPG FttP and I can’t use this one.

      Not a problem if you don’t plan to change ISP!

      • AusNugz on 05/07/2023 - 21:50
        +1

        Newer TPG plans (data only) don’t require VLAN tagging.

        • EWing1389 on 05/07/2023 - 22:14

          Mine is data only (I assumed you mean without phone?) and it still requires vlan tagging. I'm on 250/20.

      • Twix on 05/07/2023 - 21:54

        Superloop are using IPoE. You'll need the eero 6 or eero Pro 6 for PPPoE with TPG.

        Note: PPPoE and VLAN tagging are supported only on eero Pro 6 and eero 6, with minimum versions: eeroOS 6.6.1+ and mobile app version 6.13.0+

        • EWing1389 on 05/07/2023 - 22:15

          Got myself a pair of TP Link X60 and I have to say I'm quite happy.
          I have wired backhaul though so the X60 worked really well for me.

  • AsukaST on 05/07/2023 - 21:24

    this is a 2020 device, no wifi6 and only gives you a slow maximum wifi speed of 350 Mbps if you use all 3 of them.
    Not worth more than 3x$40 each imo.

    • peuwayaqdq on 05/07/2023 - 21:25

      Do you have any recommendation for the price point and the same coverage?

      • AsukaST on 05/07/2023 - 21:30
        -6

        no because its too old and too slow that most brand do not sell routers of similar spec anymore.
        max 350Mbps wifi speed is a joke in 2023.

        if you wait for prime day, you may be able to get some Asus routers for $75ish each. Get 3 of them and build your own wifi 6 mesh system.

        • Slave1 on 05/07/2023 - 21:39
          +9

          350 is plenty fast for most average homes considering the majority of plans sold are either 50/20 or 100/20

          • AsukaST on 05/07/2023 - 21:42
            -6

            @Slave1: if your home is large enough that requires 3 mesh devices,
            it's reasonable to say there are at least 4 people living in it.
            350Mbps wifi is just too slow for all of you.
            It will be very painful if everyone is using the internet at the same time.
            Don't do it.

            • voldemort on 05/07/2023 - 21:52
              +11

              @AsukaST: 100Mbps is plenty to do most things unless you need to download lots of 4k~8k videos. Australia’s average speed is ~50Mbps so saying ~350 is too slow is a bit exagerated.

              • kungfuman on 06/07/2023 - 08:00

                @voldemort: i often hear this but there is no real evidence that people think this is good enough. Where is the stats showing that people don't want to future proof? people do as they are told mostly most don't have a clue.

              @AsukaST: Um… I think you missed the part about the 50Mb or 100Mb internet connection.

              350Mb Wifi is more than enough for most homes.

            • Jstrrrr on 05/07/2023 - 22:24
              +5

              @AsukaST: If there are multiple people trying to stream different 4K videos, the bottleneck will be the actual Internet speed. Not your home network. These "early" Eeros are actually a very cheap way to get very good mesh wifi with ethernet ports. Eero 6 doesn't have ethernet so one would need Eero 6+ as the next real upgrade if ethernet is needed. These are so much cheaper. It's a good deal.

              • AsukaST on 05/07/2023 - 23:25
                +4

                @Jstrrrr: I am surprised people only concern about the external (NBN) speed but ignore how important internal transfer speed is (transfer between devices within the same network.)
                In a large home like this, you may have 4-6 security cameras/ doorbells recording into your HDD at the same time,
                plus people watching videos/ copying files from NAS. 350Mbps is painful.

                Also There are more and more smart devices in our home. This old 2020 router is not future proof.
                Say there are 4 people in the house, that's 4 mobile phones, 4 computers, 2-4 tablets or Google Hubs, 2-4 TVs, Gaming devices like PS5 or Switch, 4-6 security cameras/ doorbells, 6-10 smart plugs/lights/powerboard, Smart Clocks, Google Home speakers, washing machine, fridge, range hood, oven, bathroom scale etc, all connected with Wifi to the eero5 router. I am sure the cpu of the main router will struggle.
                While one may not use up all 350Mbps bandwidth, the small bandwidth itself just shows how weak of the hardware is.

                Not to mention the security update side. Eero 5 is a 2020 device, not sure how many more years of update Amazon would support you.

                • Viper8 on 06/07/2023 - 08:29

                  @AsukaST: My home is pretty close to the situation you describe (a few less smart devices, but loads of high bandwidth devices spread in and out of a large 2 story brick and concrete home) I have 3x AC1300 mesh WiFi routers (Deco M5's) with ethernet backhaul, plus all heavy useage devices connected via ethernet.

                  We get >100mbps on every square metre of the huge house AND front and back yards. We also experience zero bottlenecks in terms of router CPU etc. We could upgrade to say 3x X20's or X60's, but at the present time we have zero need. If we didnt have all the ethernet then sure, but to be honest most "smart" devices just use 2.4GHz anyway.

                • krouton24 on 06/07/2023 - 13:55

                  @AsukaST: Not to mention the security update side. Eero 5 is a 2020 device, not sure how many more years of update Amazon would support you.

                  Your eero devices receive guaranteed software security updates for at least five years after they are last available for purchase on eero.com and Amazon.com.

              • kungfuman on 06/07/2023 - 16:25

              Even if I needed to, I could upgrade to 250/20 and these would be more than sufficient.

      Not entirely true. I have all three connected and get approx 500Mpbs download over WiFi. You’re correct in the sense of it becoming slower WiFi with the third one connected only if you don’t utilise the Ethernet backhaul.

      The beauty of this model over the WiFi6 is all three have dual gigabit Ethernet Ports for backhaul and switches. WiFi6 would have been icing on the cake, but if not necessary then it’s still a great set.

      Definitely Eero. They are well made and there has been constant software updates to improve things from Amazon - once a month firmware updates, if not more frequent. Setup is so easy. Adding units is easy. Replacing units is easy. Amazon has done a great job with these. I run a mix of 2 Eero, 1 Eero 6 and 3 Eero 6+ at home - so mix and match is not a problem if you want to upgrade to Wifi 6 later. Don't bother with anything else if time saving is important to you. BTW, I tried 6 units of Google Wifi too. These Eeros provided much better coverage for me.

    • hashtagbargain on 05/07/2023 - 23:40

Also I am moving from an apartment to a town house so will this work to increase the range of the 5G connection?

    Thank you so much for any help in advance, much appreciated:).

    • expertreader on 06/07/2023 - 04:01

      It’s router so it takes whatever your Optus modem throws at it and will improve the range. But if Optus modem struggles to connect to internet then these will not help as they connect after Optus modem.

If I grab one of these anyone know if I can connect one of the nodes with an ethernet cable instead of relying on the repeated wifi? As I'd like to run a cable into the subfloor and connect a node there to give the area coverage.

    And I also want to retain an ethernet cable to my gaming desktop in the main house.

    Would this be possible with Eero?
