What I’ve come to expect is about 200 Mbps download speeds on a good day (no matter how fast your core internet connection is out of the modem) as long as you’ve got complete line of sight with a node and are about 20 ft away.
Now, home wireless routers make a lot of claims in regards to performance and bandwidth, and I’ve learned to take those with a giant grain of salt.
#EERO ROUTER REVIEW PRO#
Performance is probably all you really care about when it comes to routers, and let me tell you, the eero Pro 6 delivers. She definitely prefers the eero sitting up there instead.Īlso, although the eero nodes feature a bright status light at the front, you can toggle these off on a per-node basis in the eero app. The Velop nodes weren’t ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but even those drove Lauren crazy sitting on our mantle. They’re white, sleek, about 3 inches tall at their peaks, and completely… well… unnoticeable. Look and feel probably isn’t far up on your list as far as routers are concerned, but I love how nondescript (and low profile!) the eero Pro 6 nodes are. I started off by positioning my nodes exactly the same as with the Velop, and the eero nodes connected right away without issue they definitely seem to communicate better between each other than the Velop nodes. On a side note here, I was a little worried about where to position my other nodes as my Velop system seemed to be pretty picky about location (occasionally even dropping a node every few months). I honestly had my first devices latching onto eero’s WiFi in less than a minute, and then adding the remaining nodes was brainlessly easy. Download the eero app, plug in any of the nodes to your modem, and you’re off to the races. In the box you’ll only find 3 eero nodes, an ethernet cable (if you need it), and the corresponding power plugs for each (yay for being small USB-C power bricks too). I literally had all 3 WiFi nodes set up in under 10 minutes (and probably 5 minutes of that time was just standing by while the system initialized). Let’s kick things off with a big statement… I’ve set up dozens of wireless routers over the last 15 years, and this eero system is without a doubt the easiest system I have ever installed. Is it worth swapping out your own WiFi for an eero system? Read on to find out!
#EERO ROUTER REVIEW FULL#
With Lauren and I both working from home full time and the kids frequently Zooming for school, I can’t tell you how impactful even the smallest blip in our home network’s stability can be. Upgrading your home’s WiFi system probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list, but it might be one of the most impactful home improvements you can make in the world we’re living in now.
