I totally agree. His reviews have helped me choose quite a few products. And they teach you a lot about new tech features. Let's keep on liking and sharing the videos.
A piece that’s really important about this router that was glossed over is the HomeKit support. With HomeKit, Alexa, and Google home, when you add a device to the network it gets full access to communicate with all other devices. As a result, the security of your home accessories is only as strong as it’s weakest link. The eero 6 pro is one of only 2 HomeKit enabled routers on the market meaning it adds a firewall on all devices and limits how they can communicate with the network. So as far as your smart home’s security that may be a big sell for some people.
Absolutely loved this video, so thorough and well-made. I hope you'll review things like consoles and what not in the future, it would be fantastic to see a tech review of the Series S and X side by side.
i don't want the fastest internet, i want the most stable one. eero fixed all my issues and i almost never login to eero to check what is happening on my network because it just works. One less technical equipment to think about. Do you think about your water software configuration? Eero is the same.
Likely switching the Pro 6 today from the AmpliFi Alien due to that router has stopped broadcasting wifi multiple times now in the first 2 weeks of owning it. The Eero subscription is the only thing that gives me pause. It doesn't seem bad, but some of the functionality included seems pretty basic like usage history and parental controls which should be part of their app for free IMO.
I currently have the Google WiFi (older) system and going to this. Can’t wait. Just hate yet another subscription coming my way. Wish Apple had their own mesh system.
I am liking my Eero setup. My routers came with my ISP. And it looks like Eero secure is included and does not cost me anything. Maybe this is something that was included or worked out with my ISP. Because when I got them and set it up it was automatically turned on and working
So I’m confused… do I have to connect the eeros to my wifi already and it just makes it stronger? Or will buying this be a whole different wifi that I can connect to via Ethernet?
Don't buy it, it's trash. Can't even use the setup app without an account, and you have to have active internet connection to even configure it otherwise it won't let you. If that's not enough, it's useless trying to setup advanced network features as it either doesn't have it or it's paywalled.
i was just wondering why you have download an app to go with this router? when i got the router that came with my broadband provider, no app is needed....🤔
I received 3 from Frontier, not even sure why? I set one up seems to be working the lite is white? What's next with the othe two? I used same network name and password, right thing to do no idea? App , not that interested, will it just work without?
Great vid! I also checked out Eero routers. I settled on NETGEAR - AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router (Model: RAX10-100NAS) and it's awesome. The coverage is only 1500 sq ft which had zero affect on performance at my place. So, I saved $$ and have a reliable, configurable router. If you have a bigger place than mine, then maybe you can also afford the Eero and money is no object, lol. We also just got fiber optic and so we needed something high-speed capable -- this is it! Compare all features to Eero and others before you buy.
I have 3 in a house less than 3000 sq ft, the test for the internet coming in shows 980 Mbps, but when testing devices on the network, I only get 150 Mbps. Why?
My guess is the WiFi points don’t have a good enough connection to the main router. Typically it’s best if they’re in line of sight to the router plugged into your modem if possible. Other cause could be too much congestion on the network, but if you’re not in an apartment building and in a single family home, I wouldn’t think that is the issue. If my suggestion doesn’t help I’d reach out to the Eero team for suggestions. And see if you can return it if you still can’t get speeds close to what you’re supposed to be getting. - Josh
The only thing I don't like is the difficulty with getting the Ethernet port on it to actually work. It isn't quite as easy as a traditional router - if I just plug in an Ethernet cable it doesn't just "work"
i have 2 of these in the house if i buy another one and put it in garage which is maybe 20ft from the house will i have internet in garage currently on frontier fiber 1000mbps
Bought 3 for £285 from Amazon (plus one additional one that came with my ISP) which was a lot cheaper than the Nest equivalent. The single routers signal is pretty impressive by itself so looking forward to having four dotted around the house.
I have dsl as I'm up on mountain lol but I have smart home with everything like 50 things lol is this pro 6 better seeing I got alot of items to add. Seeing its dsl
Does this have ethernet backhaul? I can connect 2 of the device via ethernet, house has some wiring just not enough. Also do the extenders have 2 ethernet pots or only router thanks.
Yes the EEro pro 6 supports wired backhaul, and the nodes are identical internally {two ethernet ports}. It auto negotiates which one is the gateway. You can use an ethernet port as a wired connection even if you dont have a wired backhaul between the nodes
But HOW do we REMOVE a device? I had to reset a device, had trouble connecting, TO POD, now I have 3 device " names" for the same device. Can't remove them. Help.
What about roaming performance? How well does the mesh do at switching devices to use the closest and best node? That is my #1 gripe with mesh setup, they don't do seamless roaming well at all.
How do you add devices? How do I have it cover dead zones without being connected to my modem through ethernet? I only have 1 eero pro 6E. Under connect a wifi device all it is showing me is share qr code or share wifi details
so im on a desktop and i prefer hardwired connections buttttt the router is across my house and downstairs away from my room, i was reccomended this because i can hardwire to a eero in my room and have one downstairs to replace the current router? is this worth it? im having alot of issues with hardwiring to a extender...
I have Comcast 100mbs service at the moment with a 3 point Google mesh system with no problems. Frontier is coming to install fiber service 500mbs in a few days. As a bonus they are giving me a Eero pro 6 router with no extensions. After watching this video, I think I will stick with my Google mesh system and the Eero will stay in the cardboard box:)
You are a clever fox. Yes. This eero sucks. I also got the 500 mbs from Frontier. But as soon as you go wireless it slows you down. My way older Netgear router gives me 300 mbs and it’s 8 years old.
I have bought.... 2 of the Eero Pro 6 and 1 of the standard Eero 6. Do I simply setup each of them up and connect into each broadband/fibre port in the wall of each room?
Does this actually help improve wifi speeds? I've got 900 download with a cable but I can't feasibly have cable from the router to my pc. I've been debating getting one of these as they're on sale to see if I have one of these in my room by my pc and then plug it into my pc via ethernet from the mesh router the speeds will be better (I only get 1/3rd of my download speeds over wifi currently).
Thanks for the awesome review. I recently switched ISP from Spectrum to Ting (Fiber Optic) which gives mean almost 1Gig into my house. I also have the Eero Pro6 router along with 3 Eero Extenders for my multi-story 2800sqft home but I'm not getting the ultra high speeds and I don't know why? While the speeds have tripled what I was getting with Spectrum, I only getting about 1/3 of the 1Gig speed coming in. Previous speed test results now range between 200-300 up and down when they should be somewhere between 500-800 on a fiber network. Do you have any suggestions that might help???
You mentioned that you have have wirelessly connected a garage across the street from your home with the use of the eero Pro 6. We have a half acre of land with two houses on opposite corners of the lot, which I guess would mean that the houses could be up to 200 feet apart (assuming my math is correct). I should add that both of the houses are constructed of concrete block, but both are relatively small. We are looking at options to connect the internet between the two houses, wirelessly. We are not heavy internet users, but rather would like to be able to connect the two homes, so as not to have to purchase an extra internet connections. I would appreciate any assistance that you can provide
I’d try a Mesh system, but place the Wi-Fi point in a window that overlooks the house 200 feet away and see if that works. If not, you can always return the system and go for something like the Netgear Orbi that’ll likely have better range (but it’s def more expensive, so you are paying for top of the line range). Eero also makes Wi-Fi repeaters as well which might be worth looking into if the signal is too weak to be useable for the second home. Hope that helps!
Can you assign a device to a specific router in the house? Example: I have two eero in my home one is in my office and the other in the living room area. Somehow my computer in my office is always connected to the router in the living room area. Unless I turn off my Wi-Fi and turn it back on, it will then connect to the one in the office. It’s a bit frustrating
I have the original Wii system that only works on a 2.4 GHz signal. Am I able to change make any setting adjustments so the router will use its 2.4? For instance, my current modern Spectrum 6 router does not allow for any changes and the 5 GHz takes over and my Wii never can be played unless I use an Ethernet cord.
It depends. Do you have an "all in one" modem and router from your ISP? If so, then yes you'll need to put it in bridge mode. If you have just a modem then no.
I'm in the market to upgrade my original Google WiFi, I don't have gigabit internet. But have been thinking off WiFi 6? Or is the Google Nest a good upgrade?
The Nest Wifi isn't a huge upgrade over the Google Wifi. If you're looking to upgrade id reccomend either going with a Wifi 6 system (you'll still benefit from better network handling with a lot of devices on the network simultaneously) or wait for Google to release a Wifi 6 system. - Josh
@@6MonthsLater Thanks Josh, I actually bought the Nest system and have tested it, going to send it back and I've ordered the Amplifi Alien mesh system. I'll see how rest goes. And as I still have time before I need to return the Nest I'll be able to keep the one I like. But yes WiFi 6 is worth paying the extra for I think.
EERO 6 has a zigbee hub built in BUT!!! It is ONLY compatible with certain devices.Thats the ONLY con I do not like? Other than that the units work great
hi is the regular eero mesh system a good product or is the pro the only way to go.....2400 sq ft home 2 levels....on a bit of a budget so the pro is a bit pricey .the regular eero is much less.....not sure what to do or what kind to go with....please help..lol...cheers from Canada
I am using the router that my internet provider gave me. (Spectrum) The Wi-Fi in that room is about 350 down and 22 up. That is plenty for me. The rest of the house is a mess. I have a cheap extender that is hit or miss. Should I keep my router and get an expensive extender. Would that work together? If I get an euro pro 6 router could I just plug it in or would I have to contact Specctrum and tell them? Thanks for any info.
Personally I'd put in a mesh wifi system if you're having issues covering your whole home reliably with wifi. You'd need to contact spectrum and ask them to turn off the wifi on their modem/router so it doesn't interfere with the wifi signal from the router you purchase. Hope that helps! - Josh
I’m slow to all this tech stuff, buying this, would i still need to buy an AT&T or Spectre, monthly internet service? Or do i buy this, and have internet service included?
I think the fact they are trying to sell you subscriptions for a router is an instant turn off, and an instant no buy for me! It's disgraceful profiteering tactics. Google don't do it, or Asus or TP Link or Amplifi etc.
Comment at 1:28 about a dedicated band for comunication between nodes is incorrect. Eero does not reserve a band for backhaul, this has been indicated by their staff on Reddit.
The day i pay a subscription for my router would be the day I go full caveman and live off the rid. Just no... Couldn't finish the video after that. Liked the vid tho, thanks for the tidbit.
I'm still trying to figure out how this system works. I have a router, bought a single eero pro 6. So the eero pro 6 will only work if I ethernet it to the already existing router?
If you have a router the eero pro 6 just replaces that router. But if what you have is a modem/router combo device (like one from an internet service provider) you’ll need to connect the eero to that.
There is only One (1) Router in a mesh system. The other network devices (like the Extender and Beacon) are Access Points. Even in the 3-Pack “3 Router” package on the Eero website only one device per home acts as the router. The others are just wired access points which will be must faster and reliable than wireless mesh.
I was gonna go with an ISP that gave this router out but decided against it because of that subscription service that locks a very useful feature behind it. No thanks.
I did go with one that gives this router to customers. I personally have two and run the mesh system but I also have the security feature for free (not sure if that is isp related)
Hi, Very good video. I'm looking for a wifi 6 setup. I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk X8. Now most of our devices are becoming wif6/ iPhone, new MBP ect... Our house is about 3800FT including the basement. I was thinking of getting this system. Our cable company offers these Eero pro 6 setups as part of the cable package for 9.99 a month. You get 2 EEros pro 6's. I have gig service as well here. The X8 has worked well, but I think I can get close to the gig I pay for using this new system. I was also looking at getting a regular Wifi6 router, but I realize my signal is not that great downstairs. The router is in the top floor attic room. What do you think? I did subscribe too.

The day i pay a subscription for my router would be the day I go full caveman and live off the rid. Just no... Couldn't finish the video after that. Liked the vid tho, thanks for the tidbit.
I'm still trying to figure out how this system works. I have a router, bought a single eero pro 6. So the eero pro 6 will only work if I ethernet it to the already existing router?
If you have a router the eero pro 6 just replaces that router. But if what you have is a modem/router combo device (like one from an internet service provider) you’ll need to connect the eero to that.
I hate the ‘pay for service’ deal and it was a turn off for me…
There is only One (1) Router in a mesh system. The other network devices (like the Extender and Beacon) are Access Points. Even in the 3-Pack “3 Router” package on the Eero website only one device per home acts as the router. The others are just wired access points which will be must faster and reliable than wireless mesh.
I was gonna go with an ISP that gave this router out but decided against it because of that subscription service that locks a very useful feature behind it. No thanks.
I did go with one that gives this router to customers. I personally have two and run the mesh system but I also have the security feature for free (not sure if that is isp related)
Hi,
Very good video. I'm looking for a wifi 6 setup. I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk X8. Now most of our devices are becoming wif6/ iPhone, new MBP ect... Our house is about 3800FT including the basement. I was thinking of getting this system. Our cable company offers these Eero pro 6 setups as part of the cable package for 9.99 a month. You get 2 EEros pro 6's. I have gig service as well here. The X8 has worked well, but I think I can get close to the gig I pay for using this new system.
I was also looking at getting a regular Wifi6 router, but I realize my signal is not that great downstairs. The router is in the top floor attic room. What do you think? I did subscribe too.
Just get a new Netgear or Linksys router. I just got the eero 6 pro from frontier and my internet is slow compared to using a wired up setup.
dont like it after 2 months only 10m away and it drops the speed down to a quarter of the speed you need to be right next to it to get the full speed
Are you young Timothy Hutton?

Actual review/recommendation starts at about 9 minutes. Your welcome.
Sleek products at Bellroy!
who the hell asked? stop pushing your BS, bellroy.
It’s the saying he has a Tesla likes it’s a norm.
It truly isn't an Amazon product if they didn't have a subscription service. Also, those features are free on other routers lol
Crazy cause a 3 pack is now $169
If you want to block websites you need a subscription? Lol deal breaker
6 months later… there’s a new eero lmao
