  Wow, that was probably the most uninformed review I've seen. While I'm probably not going to bother getting one of these eeros, my heavy usage is wired not wireless, I figured I'd see what they had to say. Oh, and you have to disable ad block to even read it. Good start. *"Generally, it’s never fun to work with devices designed to collect user data. And among those, the eero is by far the worst, in my opinion. (Here’s eero’s [privacy policy](https://eero.com/legal/privacy). Make sure you take some time and really read it!)"* I'm guessing they didn't read the privacy policy, based on the preceding sentence. *"The old eero Pro 6 is a traditional Tri-band device — it can dedicate one of its two 5GHz bands as the backhaul in a fully wireless setup. On the other hand, the eero Pro 6E is a new Tri-band router — it needs all three bands to serve clients."* No models of eero use dedicated backhaul. Both models can use any and all bands for backhaul. *"In short, in a fully wireless setup, the eero Pro 6E will likely be slower than the eero Pro 6. And generally, there’s no scenario where it will be fast considering its hardware specs."* Except that both the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands can use 160 Mhz wide channels instead of the 80 Mhz wide channels of the eero Pro 6, meaning that even at lower MCS rate it has more bandwidth potential. Even if you aren't using 160 Mhz clients, the eeros themselves can use that wider channel width for faster backhaul. Review of this review: 0/10 absolute garbage meant to generate clicks and ad revenue. edit: And they didn't even test anything, this is all "theoretical" based on hardware specs (that they apparently don't understand).

  The hardware is decidedly low-end for the price relative to their competitors, and a downgrade from prior chips, that they've rationalized because "hardware offloading" and in the same breath acknowledging it's because they can't get chips. Yet their prices certainly didn't go down. A 1 GHz dual-core chip isn't very stout. And many environments cannot reliably use 160 MHz; I know mine can't, on any router. So there goes the 160 MHz speed advantage.

  If someone cares a lot about wireless backhaul, has no 6E devices and there’s a lot of 2.4 & 5ghz devices / interference around my network. Would you say the jump from Pro 6 to Pro 6E is worth it, primarily for the backhaul?

  r/eero · Eero Pro 6E review: faster Wi-Fi but flakier performance →2022-05-06T01:18:38

  Oof, this has me thinking twice about my next router purchase. 6E was appealing to me as I live in an apartment and while the only 6E device I'll more than likely have this year is simply a phone, I enjoyed the thought of having it available for when I do have more devices to use it. I just really need SQM for my connection to reduce bufferbloat, and now I'm wondering if I should just look for a Wifi 6 router instead. The other 6E routers are ungodly expensive, and plenty of them just have more basic QoS features.

  Their wireless backhaul numbers are interesting. I expected better performance given what I’ve read here. Their speeds were still usable, but I would consider them low. I wonder if the reviewer having WiFi 6E devices means that it couldn’t dedicate the 6Ghz band fully to backhaul, if there’s some other issue or if this is expected behavior.

  I have a 6+ system and it turns out better numbers than both their review systems (6 Pro and 6E). I think it's the sweet spot, a "second generation" WiFi 6 experience, which is more refined, and a great price to match.

  What kind of speeds are you seeing on wifi? I'm glad you've had a positive experience, but I've had rather disappointing speeds ever since going to the Pro 6E on 1gb fiber. I usually get somewhere in the 300s while standing pretty close to a node. That's for either node, be it the gateway or the one two floors above the gateway.

  Is it really "new tech" or just making do with what's available, and passing it off as a technology breakthrough? Lots of router companies make 160 MHz-capable hardware, and have for some time....it's not new. And why are the prices on inferior hardware so much higher? Which, I might add, they're already discounting on Amazon's site - which makes it appear, in conjunction with rather poor consumer reviews for the 6E specifically, they must not be moving very well?

  r/eero · Eero Pro 6E review: faster Wi-Fi but flakier performance →2022-05-05T20:45:07

  The lower-end stuff is a bit pricey, maybe, but Eero is quite inexpensive at the "high" end, when compared to other 6E products for example. It's weird for an Amazon product to be positioned as high-end, but that's maybe a vestigal effect left over from their independent origins. A transition from the "premium" glow-up they've leaned on in the past to a more "budget, reliable, boring" branding and positioning might be a good move, sooner or later, because as users mature, they tend run into Eero's limitations and start resenting how baby-basic even the "Pro" products tend to be. I can imagine a future Eero product line (at lower price points) fitting well into the whole "Amazon Basics" line of tech products, though.

  If you are just using as a standalone and don’t need any of the mesh features, there are much faster routers out there. I’ve used the eero Pro, eero Pro 6, and eero Pro 6E and would recommend all but the 6E to family that need simple, stable WiFi. Too many issues with the 6E, and it’s routing performance and random disconnects.

  There's nothing wrong with hardware offloading. It also doesn't really take much CPU to route at gigabit speeds. There are plenty of other factors at play as well, so it's not that useful to compare CPUs between the eero Pro 6E and some other brand. People have complained when eero doesn't get new tech out fast enough. Now people are complaining because they got it out too fast. :-)

  r/amazoneero · Would you recommend moving from Eero Pro 6 -> Eero Max 7? →2024-11-18T00:05:22

  It runs the bulk of eeroOS in software, not offloaded on hardware. When hardware offloading there is a much more dramatic performance cliff on busy networks. It’s result of them needing to use older/slower chips that were readily available during the silicon shortage during COVID. To be clear though, the radios on the eero Pro 6E are superior, but the SoC is lacking. Avoid using them as your gateway node where possible.

  r/amazoneero · Did I make a huge mistake? Kept Pro 6E and returned Nest Pro, significantly worse performance... →2022-11-18T17:58:55

  I went from the original Eero Pro to the Eero Pro 6E during a trade-in a few months back. The whole upgrade cost me like $80 after I considered the trade-in. I went from having a rock solid Eero Pro network (wired backhaul) to an Eero Pro 6E network that has tons of issues. Holding on to access points on the other side of the house. Timing out on connections until I disconnect/reconnect Wifi. Using a third party DNS works for a little while, but sometimes it just won't let me access anything on the network until I put it back. And then my family's new iPhone 14 Pro phones don't even support 6E, so I have no 6E devices.

  They basically make a triangle, middle of the 2nd floor for the main gateway, corners of house for first floor. It looks exactly like Eero's diagram. Either way the location has been exactly the same for the original Nest wifi, nest wifi pro, Eero pro 6, Eero 6+ and Eero Pro 6E. I'd say the 6E performance is only better than the original Nest Wifi.

  Agreed, this is fair. I upgraded from Eero Pro 5's to the Pro 6e's and experienced the same occasional red light on a random router. I decided to nuke my Eero network and start over. Unbeknownst to me, it was the same day version 6.10.0 was released. I haven't had an issue since, but I don't really know which thing may have fixed it...or if it is indeed fixed. It might be too early to tell. I can say that deleting the network and starting over did resolve an issue with displaying the proper information about connected Wi-Fi clients. There may be something to starting over with new hardware. Yes, Eero makes it super easy to upgrade; but, this might be a case of old settings and configurations from past hardware conflicting with new technology. I'm also using CAT 6A cables everywhere I need a hard-wired connection. Don't get me started on cables. 🙂 ...for what it's worth.

  If you're looking for a mesh product with multiple multi-gig ethernet I've found two options (there could be more, but these were what I found): * Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12 which is $899 for a 2-pack * Netgear Orbi 960 series (which only has multiple multi-gig ethernet ports on their gateway and not the extenders) which is $1499 for a 3-pack. * A 2-pack of eero Pro 6e is $499, 3-pack is $699, so price isn't even comparable Go read r/eero/comments/tku3he/now_available_eero_pro_6e_and_eero_6_our_fastest/i1sybi2/ for an explanation from an eero employee as to why they went this route.

  Yes, my question in the following Q&A was directly to the point of "dedicated wireless radio for backhaul"...his reply "can" vs. "is"...about as weak as it gets, since a lot of people don't really draw a distinction when using or reading "can". And if it isn't and never has been, and that's not likely to change, what's the point of mentioning that it could be? Other than opening the door to giving uncareful readers to the impression that one of the radios is used as a dedicated backhaul. Oh well.

  Except the eero Pro 6 only has 1 radio that is 4x4 80 Mhz and 1 that is 2x2 80 Mhz whereas the 6e has two radios which are 2x2 160, one of which is also 6 GHz meaning less interference.

  r/youfibre · WIFI 7 Hub VS ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 (2000 gbps) →2026-02-11T12:28:14

  1000mbps or 2000mbps won't change anything. You have a bit of a mismatch of Eero's, so they are not going to be able to talk efficiently to each other on the mesh. If that's an Eero 7 it's a dual band router with 2.4 and 5 Ghz channel, it can use 160mhz channels. The Eero Pro 6e is a tri band with 2.4, 5 and 6 Ghz it's using 160mhz channels, the Eero 6 is 2.4 and 5 Ghz, but only 80mhz channels. I would suggest swapping the Eero 7 and Eero Pro 6e to see if that helps. Changing the Eero 6 to an Eero 6+ would allow 160mhz channels. Or preferably an Eero Pro 6e. I had an Eero 6+ and 2 x Eero 6, then 3 x Eero Pro 6. Now I have 3 x Eero Pro 6e. Currently the gateway Eero Pro 6e can manage around 1400mbps to a device with Wi-Fi 6e capability, and the mesh nodes manage around 400mbps, which is plenty fast enough for everything that connects to them.

  I'd avoid the eero pro 6E/ netgear nighthawk RAX70. These routers are overpriced and expensive junk that do not deliver on their promises. I can't believe my $50 TP-Link AX1800 far exceeded both of these routers in terms of stability and performance. Eero and netgear gave me constant dropouts in WiFi signals. Save yourself the expensive regret and just avoid eero/ netgear as a whole, and stick to TP-Link/ other reliable manufacturers. Even a used TP-Link older model will be better for your household.

  Pro 6E might be overkill if you only have 500mb service. 6+ is only dual band. So the Regular Eero 6 Pro might be the sweet spot. Because it's discontinued, you'll likely buy it second hand at a discount. Just make sure it's not an ISP locked unit. Otherwise, if you're tech savvy, you can install OpenWrt on the TP routers and bypass their firmware.

  I take your feedback seriously. However, actual multiple client problems last year, combined with matching Amazon and reddit complaints is enough for me to have stopped using last year (understanding I am contacted by unhappy users, not happy ones). I have only had 2 clients contact me who had decos and I got them working either placement and wiring strategies. Maybe 1 swapped unit that was 1.5 years old. Now the opposite for me, excluding beacons, which I personally have removed and seen network reliability improve in several setups. Limited to around 8 setups in the last 8 months. Fyi, Pro 6e critical Amazon reviews for last 21 days have about 8 of 21 total (38%) mentioning firmware update and/ or wifi disconnects. Also comments about cust service not effective at solving problem. 12 of 68 (15.4%) critical with details comments for the tplink model I use. 2 comments on cust serv not good (fortunately I haven't had to test tech support for tplink mesh nodes I use). I was a little surprised tp link had so many positive reviews compared to eero pro 6e, but that has been the trend for 1.5 years for the units I chose , after researching user experiences.

  Thanks for this. I was looking at these the other day, and was searchingr/asus just for ZenWifi. I saw some posts with people complaining about slow speeds and other problems, but the user reviews here and on Amazon suggest that people with problems are the minority. If ZenWifi can get me beyond 350MBPS without the random video buffering and drops some of my devices have seen since I moved to the Pro 6E, that's huge. I am considering running a virtual router on a home server and just using APs. I'll have to see if ZenWifi can do that, and if there are cheaper options in that lineup that don't include the router features. I just want a fast, stable mesh setup. So far, ZenWifi seems to be the choice for that. Your review made me want some even more.

  You only have 1.2gbps service so you don’t really need multi gig or 6ghz, it’s not going to provide a meaningful difference in your case using a wired backhaul. Maybe if the Pro 6E had two multi gig ports it might be more worthwhile but you’re going to be bottlenecked to the speeds of the 6+.

  Your experience is similar to mine, although my results in the early days are a bit more extreme in favor of Nest Pro. I’ve had my 2 eero Pro 6e units in a 2500sqft house for a few months now, and it’s never wowed me. I’ve had the best stability with wireless backhaul after struggling wired backhaul in various valid and supported configurations (including 3 separate unmanaged switches). Like you, I have two LG TVs that are problematic, but I think the TVs themselves are at least partially at fault. I have issues with upnp and Xbox, and random hangs during DNS lookups, as well as latency spikes. Streaming TV services have all buffered regularly, and I’ve tried 3. I’ve pursued all of these issues with support and replaced both units. Issues still persist. Another concern for me with the eero is speed from the wireless node, which has been increasingly inconsistent with each firmware update. I’ve also tried the 6+ with the same issues. As far as speeds on my 550/20 connection, the best I’ve seen from eero is 350/20. Not bad, but it’s far from consistent. The Nest Pro has been installed for a week and is hitting 550/20 (wireless backhaul) every time. At this price point, and in my environment, it’s wiping the floor with the eero. Latency is more consistent and everything just feels more predictable. It’s early days, so who knows if it will stay this way. I keep hoping that things will improve for the eero, but it’s really just been getting worse. I’ll keep them around and hope for a miracle or two.

  Yep - makes sense. 6Ghz 160Mhz would be nice for backhaul if you use them wirelessly. Not sure if 160Mhz has a lower range than 80Mhz or how that plays into anything. For 5ghz 160 it was two separate 80Mhz channels being used together I believe? Not sure if that changed with wifi 6.
