      I think it's only a single unit. (1 pack)

      • y2k on 13/07/2024 - 19:10

        A one pack is not much of an upgrade over a decent modem - I'm guessing they also sell separate units too?

            @Gonltruck: Yeah I got in before the EOFY on a "reduced for 6 month" plan, that'll save me $20 p/m and after that I can jump if there's a better deal. I need a new router so this worked out well for me.

    • socialistshroom on 13/07/2024 - 17:47

      You only get one. I negotiated an eero 6+ and they sent me a plain eero 6. Even though the whole 30min call was regarding a 6+, the 30 second fine print at the end of the call mentioned the cheaper model.

      Now I'm stuck with them until March next year, and they tried to raise my prices too.

      0/10 would not recommend.

      XE75 is tri-band so better than these eero’s which are just dual band. Equivalent eero model to XE75 is 6 pro or 6E pro.

      Also look at the BE65 for around $550 from good guys commercial - much better tech than both and latest wifi 7.

      If you are hardwiring them then triband doesn’t really matter.

        The eero only has some dumb dual band auto mode instead of doing both at once life a stand alone router. It connects to what it thinks it needs. And it is useless. Microwave interferes etc.

          They just rejected it for me as it’s an exclusive prime members only sale.

          Update: Did a Karen and asked for the manager. Asked him to show me where on the Price Policy does it say that it excludes member only prices. They then tried to say it doesn’t include sale prices. Asked them where it says it in the policy. They caved in and gave it to me for $350. Dunno why they want to act like it’s money coming out of their wallet!

        Yeah it’s just odd that the 3 pack isn’t on sale.

        Pro 6E 3 pack is $699 which means the pro 6 pack should probably be somewhere in the $400’s ideally.

        Pro 6 would be my choice for tri-band since 6E tech is pretty short range for wireless backhaul.

              @WesthamAreMassive: Yes you can try that or you can just call up the main sales line and ask. Oftentimes they will do the commercial price if you can prove you’re a member or mention the price you were quoted through TGG commercial.

              Just because it is no longer listed on the commercial website doesn’t mean you also can’t email them and order at commercial price through a quote. I do it for TGG products all the time.

    I currently have an old Fritzbox 7490 from the old Internode days, and although I'm no longer with them we've never upgraded the hardware.

    Is there likely to be any measurable difference in wifi speed and/or stability by swapping over to one of these?

    • evasive on 13/07/2024 - 13:57
      +1

      Low speed connection = doesn’t matter

      High speed connection = you really need tri-band mesh if using wireless backhaul

      • ccsamwag on 13/07/2024 - 14:50

        Is there likely to be a better option for similar money? The good people at PCMAG seem to think the TP-Link Archer AXE75 is the best router for "most people" in 2024 - is it worth looking at?

        We don't game - but we work from home, and with a house full of kids we're streaming content like our lives depend on it most evenings and during bits of the weekend.

        • evasive on 13/07/2024 - 16:47
          +5

          You only need a mesh system if you are experiencing wifi coverage issues or bad signal strength. Assuming this is not the case, you’d be better off just upgrading to a higher end single unit.

          Look at:
          ASUS RT-AX86U Pro
          ASUS GT-AX6000 (which has an ever so slightly stronger 2.4ghz band and is better buy if priced similarly during sales)

          If buying from Amazon, always make sure the listing you buy are shipped/sold from Amazon AU and not Amazon in EU, otherwise they come with weaker wifi power and channels.

          They will both be on sale in the upcoming prime deals. Expect around $399 for the ax86u pro.

          I’m not a fan of tp-link outside the deco range and I wouldn’t even consider the AXE75. They are awful with ongoing firmware updates on their regular routers.

          If you ARE currently experiencing wifi signal issues with the Fritz, or you aren’t able to reach full speed all around your house, then go for a decent tri band mesh at a minimum. You could consider:
          Deco XE75
          Eero Pro 6 or Pro 6E
          Deco BE65
          Or Deco X68 if you don’t mind less performance

          Just remember that anything that is both Tri-band and Wifi 6E and using in wireless mesh backhaul will suffer shorter range for the backhaul than the equivalent wifi 6 tri-band models, and you may need more units to ensure each satellite is closer together.

          I posted my personal ranked mesh systems list in another comment on this post, pls refer to it and message me with any questions.

          • ccsamwag on 13/07/2024 - 17:23

            @evasive: Thanks for taking the time to put together such a detailed response! Unfortunately we live in an area where cellular reception is utterly crap, and because the house is long and skinny the wifi signal at the opposite end of the house is very weak. It does have network cabling through the walls to various points in bedrooms and the lounge at the far end of the house, so it sounds like your second list are the ones to look for.

            Is the order of hardware: NBN box -> Eero Pro 6 (as a modem/router?) -> switch to the various ports around the house -> Eero Pro 6 (as an extender) at one of those outlet ports?

            So ideally to sort out my speed, stability and signal strength issues, I need two Eero Pro 6s?

            • evasive on 13/07/2024 - 18:49
              +3

              @ccsamwag: If the house is cabled with Ethernet (at least CAT5E), then you don’t even really need tri-band mesh systems in my second list unless you have Wifi 6E/7 clients that you want to get max possible speed on as they will be able to make use of the 6Ghz band on the 6E/7 models but you have no need for that band for wireless backhaul.

              You can also always just go with two ASUS AI-Mesh capable routers and have them running in mesh configuration as well. (E.g 2x Ax86u pro’s connected via Ethernet) read this link for more info on that: https://dongknows.com/best-aimesh-routers-and-combos/

              If going with the systems on my mesh list, you’d be fine with any of them. XE75 as a good price to performance pick through TGG commercial and you wouldn’t experience the downside of short wireless backhaul range as it would be wired.

              Depending on your budget I’d go in this order in terms of best to least best, assuming that all nodes are using WIRED backhaul:

              1. ASUS zen wifi ET12 or ET8 (tri band 6E)
              2. Deco BE65 (triband 7)
              3. Deco XE75 or Eero Pro 6E (tri band 6E)
              4. Zenwifi XT12 (tri band 6)
              5. Deco X75/X68 or Eero Pro 6 (tri band 6)
              6. Deco X80/X60/X50/X20 or eero 6+/6 (dual band 6)

              If we were talking about using WIRELESS backhaul, then you shouldn’t consider the ET12/ET8, nor the XE75/eero pro 6E (unless you get a 3 pack and the nodes are pretty close to each other). You also wouldn’t consider any dual band model unless your connection is quite slow or you don’t do much demanding things.

              In WIRED backhaul, your config would be:
              NBN box > primary mesh unit > switch > ports around the house > satellite nodes plugged into ports

              Hope that all makes sense!

              As for how many units you need, that depends on a variety of factors. If leaning towards buying from Amazon, you can always buy both a two and 3 pack, and return whichever one is less suitable for free after some range testing.

                • evasive on 13/07/2024 - 19:46

                  @Haulien: Look into Tp-link Omada and Ubiquiti gear. Have heard great things about both and I think Omada is more affordable?

                @evasive:

                Hope that all makes sense!

                It does, but just because I'm worried about making a problem for myself, can I just confirm that this is what it should look like, and that the configuration of the "primary" and the "satellites" is easy enough to do?

                NBN box -> primary XE75 -> switch -> ports around the house -> 2 more satellite XE75s plugged into ports in the other parts of the house

                Do the units need to be told which is primary and which are secondaries? Are there things I'll need to configure as far as backhaul traffic, or will the units see the wired connection and naturally default to using that for the traffic because the transfer speed is so much higher?

                • evasive on 14/07/2024 - 19:13
                  +1

                  @ccsamwag: Yes it is very easy to do with the tp link app, just add them sequentially starting with the main unit and make sure it’s using wired backhaul in the app settings.

                  It will likely auto configure itself correctly. DM me if you need help during configuration.

                  • ccsamwag on 14/07/2024 - 20:23

                    @evasive: Thank you so much for your guidance and for answering my questions.. I appreciate your time and expertise!

                    The reading I've done seems to indicate the Deco is a better option than the Eeros and your posts seem to indicate you feel the same. Your order says X75 < XE75 < BE65, but is there a measurable difference in stability and speed, assuming most devices except TVs will connect wirelessly but there will be a wired connection for backhaul? There seem to be a lot of others in the range - X80, X73, X68, X60. Price for performance, are any of these worth looking at?

                    As far as install, hopefully it's as easy as you say it is and I can either work it out myself or do it with the help of YouTube (I could RTFM but that feels like conceding failure so is always a last resort).

                    My in-laws have access to TGGC so I'll take my laptop when I see them this week and do some shopping based on your advice!

                      @ccsamwag: Just note that TGGC doesn’t have most of the models listed on the commercial website, you need to browse the regular TGG website, locate the model code you want; then send an email to [email protected] from your TGGC registered email asking for a quote on the desired model, then they will send you an invoice to pay with the commercial price.

                      Look, given that you are doing wired backhaul you’d probably be fine with any of them to be honest if you don’t have a need for super speeds or gaming. Deco X50 at a minimum is $251 for a 3 pack on TGGC and should be good for connections up to 200-300mbps if using wired backhaul.

                      The benefits you get with newer models eg XE75 and BE65 are mainly better wifi tech that will support higher speeds, future proofing for your new devices as they will have a dedicated 6Ghz band for wifi 6E or 7 devices as you are not reserving it for backhaul; etc but aren’t really nessecarily for the average person or usage.

                      TGG doesn’t stock all the deco models listed, so take a look through their regular website, search for deco, and make your shortlist from there. If you need help comparing two or 3, get back to me.

    • y2k on 13/07/2024 - 14:15

      It depends what your problem is. I had a Fritz box 7490 and the rooms furthest from it had almost no reception. A mesh can fix that problem, but it depends on a few things.

      If, like most folks, you aren't connecting the mesh units with a cable but wirelessly, then concrete walls and other such things can really mess up the connection between the units. So a mesh may not help there - that's a problem we ran into with our Google nest wifi as our apartment has a lot of wifi killing concrete walls.

      If your lack of reception is mainly due to distance and not objects, then a mesh is probably quite useful.

      When we moved recently, I wasn't taking chances. I got these Eero 6+ (the Pro versions have had had very underwhelming reviews, and to me, did not offer enough for the increased price.) and hardwired them together.

      • evasive on 13/07/2024 - 14:19
        +1

        The pro versions are suitable for wireless config.

        You have hardwired the nodes so 6+ is fine and you wouldn’t notice much difference. For high speed connections with wireless backhaul you need tri-band like the 6 pro / 6E pro. But to be honest the deco offerings are better at that price point.

        • y2k on 13/07/2024 - 19:14

          No argument there. I did look at the Decos. I got these as they do tend to get big discounts during Prime promos, and there are very few reviewers or experts including Ngo Thang who were comparing them, and the customer reviews for this model seemed happy.

      This is my mesh wifi tier list, hopefully someone finds it useful.

      Note that any tri-band wifi 6E mesh systems will need to be closer together if using wireless backhaul as the 6Ghz band they use for backhaul has shorter range (but is faster). This is less of an issue in wifi 6 units as they use a dedicated secondary 5Ghz band and wifi 7 units have a stronger 6Ghz band than 6E.

      Personally I would go for wifi 7 or strong wifi 6 units, as 6E feels like a bit of a stop gap to me, but is usually fine if you get a 3 pack and the nodes aren’t too far from each other.

      Also note that Deco/Eero have the smoothest software algorithm in terms of devices picking and switching between nodes.

      1. ASUS Zenwifi BQ16 Pro (really hard to get as just released) (quadband wifi7)
      2. Deco BE65 (triband wifi7, don’t consider the higher end BE85 or BE95 as they have fans in the units)
      3. Asus Zenwifi XT12 (triband wifi 6)
      4. Deco XE75 / Eero pro 6E (triband wifi 6E)
      5. Deco X75/X68 / Eero pro 6 (triband wifi 6)

      You can’t really go wrong with any of the above, all are tri-band or better and suitable for wireless backhaul configs. Just ensure if going with 6E that you may need a 3 pack instead of a 2 pack due to shorter backhaul range.

      If you are planning to wire the units in for backhaul with Ethernet then you can go for dual band mesh systems and save $.

      • EnergicAU on 14/07/2024 - 01:13

          It’s hard to say. You can always start off by testing any of them from Amazon and then returning it for free and buying it cheaper elsewhere.

          If signal between mesh nodes is a primary concern which it sounds like it would be, it’s hard to beat the ASUS XT12, which should come down to $9XX during prime day. It excels in wireless backhaul range. BQ16 pro would be a better overall buy if it were available here which I don’t think it is yet and it will probably start at like $1500-$1800.

          If you want to spend a bit less than XT12, grab any of the below in a 3 pack config:

          Deco X75/X68 or Eero pro 6

          You could also try the BE65 and see how you go, but backhaul signal strength is not going to be as strong as the tri-band 6 options above and I think its 6GHZ band would struggle through concrete.

    Upgraded to these from some old Deco M5s, big improvement in speed and reliability.

    I have an original Eero router/extender system. If I upgrade router to 6 or 6+ for living room/TV streaming, would it would still link to older extenders where high speeds are less important?

      I have one 6+ and two original via wifi without problem.

    If anyone's looking to sell one for $130 in VIC, let me know. I'm only looking for 1 :(

      Limited-time deal for Prime Members: Amazon eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 router with built-in Zigbee smart home hub https://amzn.asia/d/0fAI3XJP

        Thanks but seems like the one you posted is the 6 and not the 6+.

        Would be good to get the extra 160 mhz band and ZigBee support for $9.99 less if someone is willing to share the cost :)

      Try online shopping portals. FB Marketplace I got one for 125 posted earlier this year and there's one in Melb now for 100.

    Hello brains trust - I have a Gen 1 eero set up currently with 3 routers. One of those three is a fair bit away and has walls in between, so the speed falls considerably in that room. I was thinking of adding another router in between to help speed the furthest router. So, two questions - a) is adding a router in between going to help?; and b) can I only use another Gen 1 router or could I use one of the newer ones too (and does that even help)?

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can assist with info! ☺️

    skim read above but came here to comment on zigbee specifically - i scored a pair of eero 6+ through an agl deal - anyhow they work terrific - one upstairs one down - good range and all that - anyhow the zigbee thing is a bit of a con - yes it can use Alexa to find zigbee devices but to properly configure, you really need to use the zigbee device manufacturer app - and eero doesn't recognise that - meaning you would prob need a zigbee hub as well as the eero - i think a bit of a stretch of eero to say zigbee hub included. Home automation hardware and apps still finding their way unfortunately but i need to call eero out if they are flouting zigbee compatibility. n.b. eero and alexa are all in amazon family

    Already have one from the Superloop deal, if I only need 1 (2 max) more should I bother with the 3-pack or get the 6 Pro? Would be wired backhaul

    For anyone that cares about it, these are pretty Amazon intrusive and they also have forced can not turn off updates.

    It also only has cloud configuration, so if you mess something up with your settings or your Internet goes down and you need to diagnose some options, well…good luck. You can't just access your router from a browser or terminal. You will need to supplementary Internet to the Eero, then access it through your Amazon account…if you linked it, if you didn't, well I truly don't know, I'd hazard a guess it's even worse.

    It's a massive pain in the ass, especially if say you're running custom DNS server and it goes down, then the Eero loses Internet and you can't update the DNS setting….because it "lost" Internet.

    They're overall fine and performance is good, but if I had my choice again I wouldn't buy them.

      Well that sounds like a stupid design decision!
