@@jimhall1131 I was gong to say the same thing He also fails when he says " its only worth it to hardwire since you get 2.5gb speed" well you don't get a 2.5gb hardline speed, the eero pro 6e only has 1, 2.5GB port, and 1, 1GB port, so if you are plugging your connection into the 2.5GB port you only have a 1GB port to hardwire to your network, so it would be beneficial for 6e (6ghz) wifi which I get 2gbps on my 6ghz capable phone.
Wow is all I can say. The eero pro 6e is a great upgrade if you have wifi 6e devices. Huge upgrade is what you should be saying, not that it isn’t a good upgrade. Your all over the place dude.
@@Ragnar707 huh? Your response doesn’t make any sense bud., whole point of the video that was made was dating don’t upgrade to 6e. What does that have to do with not many devices not being 6e???? If your going to test 6e use a 6e device or don’t even post a video like this.
Purchased the two packs 2 days ago, and my network has been unstable ever since...many devices falling offline and not working as they did under the regular Eero Pro 6... Returning it next week
The advertising for the Eero 6E talks about using the router with faster than Gigabit broadband, BUT, the Eero only has 1x 2.5Gb port (and one normal 1x 1Gb port), so you plug your faster than Gigabit modem into the only 2.5Gb port on the Eero, yes you might get faster than 1Gb WiFi from that router but that's it, you can't then supply faster than 1Gb (via Ethernet) to your switch / NAS / desktop PC / or even to other Eeros in your home. Your MESH is restricted to 1Gb even though you have faster than 1Gb internet! WHY?!
Remember the iPhone only support WIFI 6 and does not support 6E, So it won't go up at all. You need a device that supports WIFI 6E in order to do a proper WIFI 6E test.
I saw another video of the 6pro and 6proE on a 1gig line. The iPhone tested almost 800 mb/s on the pro and only around 500mb/s on the proE. But for a Samsung phone tests were similar on both. Soo weird. Technology is soo annoying. Lol
The real video starts at 1:36 before that uncle is just wasting time telling us what he’s going to do I understand why uncle did this because he needed to get the video over 8 minutes so he gets ads
iPhone are limited to WIFI 6 with a 80mhz channel width. You won't see any speed increases. You may be seeing slower speeds because the pro6e device is most likely configured for 40mhz channel width as opposed to 80mhz on the pro6.
in a very clean environment yes it's not worth it. but I think the point of 6E is it frees up more channels to choose from for the the fronthaul network, and the routers use 6E channels for backhaul.
If you had a WI-FI 6e device to test with you would see a big jump in speed. I have a eero pro 6e and a couple of 6e devices with 1.2Mbps download speeds and on those devices I am seeing speeds of 1.4Mbps. With WI-FI 6 devices only 500-600 Mbps. If you have any 6e devices it’s with it.
I didn’t have one but noticed my speeds were lower from the pro 6 when the third band wasn’t used. So compared to the same devices I felt the pro 6 did better. Not saying that in the future the newer devices may be much better.
Within the first 60 seconds, this guy gave me "this guy doesn't know tech" vibes. Hit pause, went to comments. Yup. Confirmed. Hit thumbs down. Left this comment and then left.
Which earbuds do u recommend best for truck drivers, to cancel out my background. My background can get kinda loud and mess up my phone calls, the caller can't hear me
Depends on your budget but I would get some with noise canceling and transparency mode. Checkout some reviews on my channel of TOZO brand and also Anker and Soundpeats.
Noise cancelling won't help the other person hear you and transparency mode will make it more difficult for you to hear them in a loud environment. In many states it's illegal to use earbuds while driving. Consider a hands free kit with noise cancelling (cancelling the background noise on your end for the listener, not background noise for you)
Had so many problems with the 6e Pro and no desktop control. All that you can control is controlled through the app, Not a good product and has mucked up all my home automatons. Not happy 😞
iPhone and Mac Pro M1 so they were not. Speeds seemed to be slightly slower than Pro 6. Also I am getting a lot of connection drops or lag compared to pro 6
What is important is making sure your modem has a 2.5gb port to pass through the signal. I have gigabit and I hit 1.2gb down consistently. WiFi I usually hit around 800
The eero 6e pro has been pretty kick ass for my 1gig plan. It came from my service provider. When I first got into the mesh network side of Google. Everyone said the 6 pro was better. However I got mine for free so I won't be listening lol
No USB Port is a deal breaker. Has to have A USB port for my Movie Collection. Even the new Amazon Fire TV cube offers A USB port now. Have to get up to date on that.

If you don't have any devices with 6e why would you upgrade in the first place ??? that would be like buying a WIFI 7 router and expecting to see a increase on WIFI 5 equipment
My IP called me last week and asked if I wanted to have their new system sent out at no charge because I was on a previous non mesh wifi setup... I picked the 3 piece kit and new modem/router today and set it up and I had no idea just how expensive this kit was, but was 6e ever a speed boost over wifi4 lol Not knowing what mesh wifi was, I was living in the stone age. I don't think I'd have paid $500 myself for it, but if they want to update it at no charge, by all means...
When you tested the pro 6 vs the pro 6e, did you use the same exact testing device under the same network conditions on the same day? If you didn’t, your testing is invalid. There are lots of variables that affect speed. In my own network, the speed is noticeably different when there is nobody home vs everyone around with their devices plugged in and streaming. Also, home broadband internet is never going to be consistent because you have to take into account network usage in your area. Then there’s your phone. Depending on state of the device at the time, your results may differ. Testing from the exact same place? All of that will affect your test, and if all are different, you definitely can’t trust your test. If you tested the old one, then swapped the new one, then tested from the exact same place at close the the same time, THEN it would be valid. But … I’m thinking probably this wasn’t the case. None of it. So you don’t really know if the device is slower or faster.
Been debating on the Pro 6E vs the Pro 6 to replace my 8 TP-LINK POE access points and wondering if I should. I have access points that provide WiFi 5 coverage indoor but have some dead zones. Was considering running new Cat6 or Cat7 to some areas and placing another access point there, but now wondering If I'd be better to just go with joining the WiFi Mesh club instead. What to do, what to do?
If you don't have a 6Ghz device you aren't using WiFi 6E, you are using Wifi 6 (5Ghz). The whole point of upgrading to 6E is to use 6Ghz devices... So your entire test is flawed. It's like comparing a garden hose connected to your house vs a garden hose connected to a fire hydrant. The hose (your device) is the limiting factor not the source. You probably shouldn't be reviewing tech that you don't understand!
Keep in mind that eero takes at least 72hrs to fully optimize the network. So this isn't real world results... Also, you should test more than one phone.
I wouldn’t trust this guys reviews as well. He should take down this video it’s not even accurate. Totally wrong information the way he tested it. Just sad he kept the video up without a disclaimer at least. Damn dude.
Lol dude you used a phone that was connected to the 5ghz band. Get a device that supports 6ghz. Anyone interested in this router would want it for the 6ghz connectivity and you didn’t take advantage of that at all. Amazing
I purchased the Eero Pro 6E, since my system is running the original eero's (several years old)... Not technical at all, and worried if I have plug in - I may lose my entire network...? Says its a plug and play; however, notes inside advise to turn off network prior to plugging in? what would you recommend?
Looking at the specs, eero 6 pro has a quad core 1.4G CPU and eero 6E pro has a 1.0G dual core. Also eero 6 pro has TWO 5GHZ, one is 4x4 another one is 2x2 Mimo However, eero 6E pro has ONE 5GHZ, and it is a 2x2. another one is on 6GHZ So if most of your devices running on 5Ghz, pick the EERO 6 pro NOT the 6E, If you are looking to have most devices running on 6Ghz , choose the 6E version
Dude you were using a iPhone which is not wifi 6e compatible. At least run a wifi 6e device to test 6e speeds. At least do the proper research before posting a video like this.
Can someone explain to me Wtf eero is? I have it with City Fibre. City Fibre came to install 1gig network. They provided network to the house installed their box and the box has 4 green lights which means that they provided 1gig connection to the house. Now... Eero Pro 6E has 2 lan ports at the back. One goes to the city fibre box on the wall I have newly installed and the other port is what for? It's all connected but no signal, can't configure, my phone doesn't find the eero, app keeps asking for Bluetooth and Bluetooth doesn't find eero so am stuck in creating eero network.
I've encountered slower speed with the eero 6e, but I'm trying to fine-tune my equipment to possibly get the highest 6e speeds. Setup I'm currently using and which I want to migrate from to the eero 6e: Windows 10, isp modem hardwired to Asus ac5300 wireless modem which is LAN port connected to an eero (generation 1) mesh network. Eero Gen 1 download speed to my PC at around 90GBytes, download to Samsung Android 13 cellphone at around 90Gbytes. Setup I want to migrate to with the eero 6e from current eero Gen 1 mesh network: Windows 10, isp modem hardwared to Asus ac5300 wireless modem which is LAN port connected to an eero 6e (generation 4) mesh network. Eero 6e download speed to my PC at around 90Gbytes (no improvement) to Samsung Android 13 cellphone at around 90Gbytes. Interesting anomaly: Using the new setup with the eero 6e mesh network, my wireless signal from my Asus ac5300 directly with a wifi 5 adapter kicks out a low 90 Gbytes DL speeds. With the eero Gen 1 mesh network the wireless signal from the Asus ac5300 only got as high as 90Gbytes DL .Replaced the wifi 5 adapter with a Tenda wifi 6 adapter wirelessly connected to the eero 6e mesh AND not wirelessly connected to the eero 6e mesh but to the ac5300 wireless signal (which broadcasts to 2.4 and 5.1 frequencies) and the DL speed kicks up to 440 Gbytes. Not sure why eero 6e is not delivering DL speed improvements.

Is the Eero Pro 6e worth the upgrade?
The primary reason to upgrade to the Pro 6E is the 6GHz channel which you fail to even test in your review which makes this entire video pointless.
@@jimhall1131 I was gong to say the same thing He also fails when he says " its only worth it to hardwire since you get 2.5gb speed" well you don't get a 2.5gb hardline speed, the eero pro 6e only has 1, 2.5GB port, and 1, 1GB port, so if you are plugging your connection into the 2.5GB port you only have a 1GB port to hardwire to your network, so it would be beneficial for 6e (6ghz) wifi which I get 2gbps on my 6ghz capable phone.
