Really enjoy the video and information. Now I did have 1 question do you recommend multiple Eero Pro routers that are daisy chained floor to floor, or do you recommend the beacons on multiple floor and 1 router? I have 3 floor home so wifi is areas are impossible. Thanks security baron as always
loved the review was just what i was looking for! But if i had one point it would be could you not confuse Mbps with MBps. You were speed testing in Bits not Bytes its common for people to mix up due to broadband marketing and needs to stop really. Great review tho!
I have 200+ mbps internet with 2 eero pro one downstairs and one upstairs for a 1300 sqft condo. Somehow it’s still buffers or has trouble connecting to the internet. Recommend me changing eero settings through the app? What can I do? Thanks in advance
just starting to look into mesh wifi…..wifi signal is not bad throughout my home with just router, but with kids that are into gaming I'm thinking I may need to beef it up a little
Yes, I've reviewed the eero Pro along with Nest Wifi. Here are my full written reviews for more info: eero Pro: bit.ly/2Cr7XIe Nest Wifi: bit.ly/2WAvBLq
eero does not mention app security fee monthly fee $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year for basic and (eero secure+) advance $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. I personally think that Amazon prime customers should get the basic security package for free. Does any know of a good wifi app manager??
eero was the fastest setup less than 10mins-just set up all the eeros in same room label each one for the rooms that they are going to be moved to after connecting to the network--Move to the new location within your home Just download the app first and don't forget to unplug your modem ---it been almost 30 days with no problems with increased download and upload speeds-cant go wrong with eero****Discount code***SWERVE-CX15
After purchasing eero it turns out that you don't need to purchase the security app for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year for basic and (eero secure+) advance $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year unless you want or need the additional security features.
will the eero or eero pro increase my download and upload speeds or is it just for bigger homes with multiple devices so they wont get dead zones/lag/buffering?
your dl/ul speed depends on your isp (charter, att, Verizon, etc..) it will only improve your speeds if your current router isn't already able to match your isp rates but otherwise yeah you've got it all correct
I'm hoping you can answer my situation. I have at&t fiber optic and the router is in my garage. In my 2 story home the wifi isn't the greatest upstairs. Will this product work given that the eerk needs to be connected with an Ethernet cable to my router from my garage? Would I need 2 beacons? One for downstairs and 1 upstairs?
Can the pause schedules be used without the monthly subscription service? I am having a hard time paying 300-400 for a device setup and then having to pay on top of that for some of the basics.
Yep, the schedules are free. Eero Secure just adds on some more cybersecurity features and the ability to filter out websites, block ads, etc. More info on the eero Pro here: bit.ly/2Cr7XIe
Kelly StormGarden you have to pay an internet service provider once a month. This review is for equipment that helps you get the best use of your internet. Like in my house we have too many devices so most of the time internet doesn’t work. If I buy one of these thingys then all of my devices / TVs/ etc... will work with no problems... so I understand.
reyna haynes no you have to get an internet plan with a service provider. Like Verizon, Spectrum, maybe Direct TV. I have Verizon this only made it work a lil bit better. 🤷🏽♀️.
I connected it directly to my provider’s Ethernet switch on the wall and it is distributing signal for the whole house without the need to connect it to a modem! How is that possible?
Hello there! Enjoyed your video! Just wondering I see that they have a Eero 3-Pack. Is there a difference to the 1 Eero Pro and the two beacons? Wondering because I think I need the upgrade in my house. Drop me a line.
Pro's are tri-band, whereas Beacons are dual-band. They're phased out now due to Eero 6 extenders but neither have ethernet ports. Pro's have 2. Beacons are like a nightlight and have one built-in so they are stuck to the outlet. Pro's have slightly stronger radios.
Can I just buy a modem, buy a router, then buy the eero and be able to have WiFi and internet at my home? I don’t want to have to sign up and start a contract with a service provider but it’s looking like in order to get WiFi and internet that’s what I’ll have to do
Yes, the eero Pro is a router, not an Internet Service Provider, so no contracts needed to use but you might need to sign a contract to get Internet in the first place. More info on the eero Pro here: bit.ly/2Cr7XIe
at first I was kinda disappointed about lacking of ethernet ports...but we still could hook it up to another 8 port ethernet switch, problem solved right right? (No need crossover cable since most of the switch nowadays autosensing ethernet twisted/straight/crossover should be all working! LoL I am still determining what upgrade should be for my home as I am stable with Asus RT-AC68U and recently upgraded to RT-AC86U to form an AiMesh network but encountered with some defective problem of the new unit (unit restarted too often when WAN is disconnected or even modifying the wireless roaming assistance) soooooo trying to see if it is justifiable to spend $299.00 for a the moving fast technology!! (I havevn't upgraded since 2017 while using Asus RT-AC68U at all...and expected the new upgrade should let me stay no upgrade after at least 3 years :) Good bless!
I am also in the tech industry and looking to get a new WiFi system. Looking at a mesh setup for the ease of use with a 4000 sq ft home, but I do need some advanced options like static IP's and port forwarding, as I have older IP cameras and I have some servers that I still run as well. I currently have an older Nighthawk router, but it is having some issues. I tried Google's Nest mesh system a few weeks and ago and ran into all kinds of bugs with static IP's and port forwarding. Also very limited on specifying different Dynamic DNS hosts. What is your opinion on the best mesh network that can manage these more advanced functions, can the Eero deliver or is it it too basic?
All I want is some freedom where people can’t stalk what websites I visit it’s very uncomfortable just feeling as if someone could be seeing what you’re seeing.
I have three kids that have iPads, phones, PS4, alexas, ring cameras etc. long story short, lots of devices. House is a two story with a basement. I’m trying to decide between the Eero Pro (3 Eeros) for $499 or the Linksys Velop triband with 3 units for $399. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Range is a factor as well so we can use the TH-cam TV on the tv outside on the patio.
I have experience with Netgear Orbi, Linksys Velop, and Eero Pro. I know this is an old comment but the Eero Pro is *massively* better than those other two and I'd argue that it's the best mesh system for consumers on the market.
Does it support xfinity? I’m not looking into having to change my internet provider. But this eero seems like a really good option for my 3 story house
Hi Jack, Hardwiring is always going to be you best answer if possible when gaming, but you shouldn't see much of a dip when hardwiring directly into the device. More info on the eero Pro here: bit.ly/2Cr7XIe
Yea I really need to know if I should get a different one for gaming because when I play games like rocket league and fortnite it normally gives me about 30 ping on a average but it will like lag and freeze for like a whole 2 minutes and then kick me out and I really want to Knapp what’s going on
TEXAS CHAOS Meyer this is litterally the exact reason why i want this my games freeze and kick me out randomly and if i want to live stream rocket league i go to 990 ping
one of my working application is an VPN application. Can eero mesh WiFi system (3-pack) support this application? I have a basic cable company provided wireless router now and performance is an issue. This is the reason I am looking into this product. My VPN application work on current setup. Thank you for your advise in advance.
is such BS that companies charge for things like Ad blocking, "safe filter" and "activity centre" when we know these can all be done via the browser or LOCALLY in the router.
I will be connecting this to my girlfriends modem at her house... will this block off everyone else’s usage of the WiFi? My purpose of buy is for the WiFi’s to reach her room which is upstairs
Ok so I am not tech savvy what so ever. We currently have a Comcast router, so does this replace the router and if so can I do that? I was actually hoping to boost my wifi in my home because I want to add the wyze security products thru out.
Security Baron oooo wow I thought it extended the rang Of your WiFi? I didn’t know it boosted it. Only reason I saw this product is it was on the RING website of accessories. So now I’m looking at TH-cam videos about it lol.
