[@Mike-yv7cr]

I watched this 6+ review and your long term Pro 6 review. Both incredibly detailed amazing videos. I’m planning on buying just 1 router for my home, if both were the same price would you recommend the 6+ or the Pro 6 as a single router for a home? (40ish wireless devices, 2,100 sq ft 2 floors)

[@TheGuin]

Which do you go with?

[@vittorio4301]

Thank you for the review. It is the eero 6+ better than the deco x60(or x55) for a gigabit connection?

[@natomashomeboy]

Thanks, just got my 6+ yesterday and gonna setup today 😉

[@landpet]

No problem. It’s really good for the price, congrats

[@teaglet1]

I have the eero 6+, but have not installed them yet, are they going to be better than my knight hawk 5400? The reason I ordered them, was because of getting my internet freezing, as I was waiting their arrive,I changed my cat6 cable to the modem, no problems since. The knight hawk is 4 years old , I have about 15 different products, cameras, iPhones, laptops and two smart tvs , I get 270-387 mbps download and 127 mbps uploads. Really stuck on decision to replace my knighhawk , suggestions?

[@joelluth6384]

Thanks for this. I might finally be ready to buy a mesh system...

[@landpet]

Glad I could help

[@jbo43]

Hey! Stumbled upon your videos when researching the Eero. Question. I have a longer house and may need to wirelessly daisy chain extenders, so it’d be router>extender>extender. Can I do this and what speeds would I expect if I did this?

[@DennisFromSouthFlorida]

Yes you can. The extenders are called beacons. Or any of the regular units can be used as extenders or beacons as they all work wirelessly as well as wired. When you use them wirelessly, expect about half the speed of a wired connection.

[@portman8909]

I'm on a slow DSL connection with limited bandwidth. I bought the original Amazon Eero mesh to resolve my bufferblaot problems which it did. However my ISP does not support bridge mode only PPoE, which the original Eero does not support, so now it's on double NAT. Is it worth getting the Eero 6 just for PPoE bridge mode or would I see no real benefit? Games and things still work fine as I have forwared UPnP and DMZ.

[@FahadAlQubaisi]

Thank you sir for your time and review! But does this support pppoe?

[@landpet]

Thanks! I'm not using the eero right now to check but I believe it does since the eero 6 and eero Pro 6 support it now (support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/207852843-Does-eero-support-PPPoE-)

[@KimFieldstad]

Looking for the long term review. Thanks

[@TheGuin]

Question. I’ve watched many of your reviews and I’m having a hard time deciding which mesh network to go with. I pay for gigabit speeds from my isp and my isp router supports those speeds. What would your recommendation be for a mesh network in the $250-$300 price range?

[@landpet]

Thanks! Either this eero 6+ or the TP Link Deco XE75. I prefer the Deco between the two.

[@christopherbennett3739]

Did they fix the 2.4ghz issue with a firmware update? I am looking at upgrading from the Netgear Nighthawk MK63 system, would you suggest that this is a sensible option?

[@landpet]

I haven’t used this one since I’ve reviewed it. I am genuinely impressed with this 6+, much more so than the Pro 6E. You can’t go wrong with this, however my favorite budget mesh is the new Deco XE75 (2 pack) or XE5300 (3 pack)

[@Jason_Bover9000]

Can you port fowerd

[@anonnine]

Thanks for the review

[@landpet]

Any time!

[@Finishwelldave]

I've had Eero's for several years and would not recommend. I do have a fairly large space and lots of connected devices. With an update they made last year, the Eero drops connection every few minutes across many devices (Roku, iPhone, Macs, Wemo's). If you Google "Eero dropping Internet connection" or "Eero dropping Wifi" you will see tons of posts and complaints. Eero/Amazon has to be aware of this well-known issue but they have not fixed it. And before you ask, I have tried all of the recommended fixes... and none of them work. This is just an FYI for your users from a long-time Eero customer with no agenda. Believe me, I wish these things worked. They will leave you with nothing but frustration.

[@landpet]

I believe it, I just haven’t had any issues with it. The interesting thing is that various people comment on other mesh systems not working as well, it really just depends. You can search drops for other mesh systems and thing will pop up as well.

[@grizzlypaws461]

Hey! I want to get an eero for my parents. They have a 1,900 square foot house with the router nicely placed in the middle of the house in the office. They don’t have many devices. Just typical phones, tablet and Roku. Would you get a single eero Pro 6 $183 or single eero 6+ for $118 (or eero 6 for $75). Their plan is only 200 up and 10 down. Mostly want to be range covers the house. Thanks!!

[@landpet]

From those choices, I would get 6+ or maybe even get a 2 pack 6+ since it’s not much more than the pro 6

[@middleearthjedi1494]

@landpet Thanks so much for the advice on my comment on the Eero Pro 6E video. Just as I was about to make my decision, I was looking on Costco and saw that a new 6E Tp-link Deco mesh system appears to have been released? Costco"s model designation for it is the AXE5300 but looking on TP-link's website I think it's the same as their new AXE5400? So further muddying the waters... Lol Do you have any thoughts on those new ones? 😉👍

[@landpet]

No worries. It's funny you mentioned that cause that's the next one I'm testing. The top black portion looks a bit different but the specs do seem to closely match the XE75.

[@middleearthjedi1494]

@@landpet Sweet, looking forward to seeing that and making my decision after that one. Thanks for all the help!

[@robertovivas2]

I am getting 320 mbps download and 898 mbps upload on them on my ISP gigabit plan. Any idea why my download speeds are that low? I have 4 eero 6+ nodes connected via wired backhaul in my home. One of them is connected directly to the network box of my ISP. The other port of the gateway eero is connected to a Netgear unmanaged switch. From there, ethernet cables are connected from it to my smart home ethernet switch that connects to the other eeros in different rooms of my house. I have connected an ethernet cable from the network box of my ISP to my computer and I got the full gigabit speeds on it. So I know the problem is not my ISP. What should be the problem? I do want to add that I have the eeros in bridge mode because my ISP recommended me to do so because the ISP's network box can't be in bridge mode because the ISP told me that it needed to be in its current state because of the fiber's configuration.

[@landpet]

I’m not a fan of that method, that might be the issue right there. It’s difficult to diagnose issues when there is setup like that hence why I recommend setting it up in bridge mode. From my experience, talking to ISPs, a decent amount of them don’t really fully comprehend how networks work (at least that’s been my experience). They’ve also been trained to tell their customers to use their own hardware so they can diagnose it if there are issues which is what I was told as well. I simply got an ONT from them and I did not use their provided router. Everything has been working smoothly for me. It’s your choice, you can call them and ask them to replace your ONT with one that doesn’t have a router built in or disable it entirely. The fact you’re in wired backhaul, you should be getting full speeds with anything connected via Ethernet.

[@galacticbeat6328]

I'd like to see this with a lot of network traffic. I run two or three tv streams to rokus all the time. plex, etc. will it work for that? 4k?

[@landpet]

That should be fine for this assuming your internet is fast enough

[@switchcollect]

If if buy a 3-pack (currently on sale), but only need 2, can I sell the third one? Are they all exactly the same or is one of them a router and the other an extender?

[@landpet]

They are all routers assuming that’s the version you buy, you can sell one if you want

[@DennisFromSouthFlorida]

They are routers but can be used wirelessly and function as an extender.

[@joyjoy534]

What sort of advanced settings do eero 6, 6+, 6 pro have? Openwrt, link aggregation for NAS etc etc?

[@landpet]

I'm using something else now, but if your looking for advanced settings, I would steer clear of eero as they are pretty limited generally speaking. Check out ASUS mesh systems.

[@Jason_Bover9000]

​@@landpet what are you using now

[@taylorcampbell985]

Hey I’m upgrading from eero pro 2nd gen. Wondering if I should go with eero 6+ or the eero pro 6e ? Is the pro 6e worth it?

[@landpet]

I'm more impressed with the 6+, while the Pro 6E has advantages as of now (unless some more firmware updates makes the Pro 6E reach its true potential) . I would say price per performance, the 6+ is the clear winner. I'm going to release a video comparison between these two in the near future so be sure to check it out

[@taylorcampbell985]

@@landpet ok thanks. Cool I’ll be looking forward to it. Cuz I have 3 pack of the eero pro gen 2 and I don’t think I need the third my upstairs connection to the gateway in my bedroom is strong so honestly think I only need 2 in a 2500 square foot house. But is the tri band of the pro 6e worth it or not ?

[@taylorcampbell985]

Also a tougher choice rn because of the Amazon deals on them 155 for 6+ 2 pack, 194 for 3 pack. Or the pro6e 2 pack for 299.99

[@manga7545]

This seems an eero 6 pro killer, is there a reason to get the eero pro 6 over the 6+? Please do a video comparing both.

[@landpet]

I have several router comparisons coming

[@fun40sxx]

How does this one compare to the tp link x68?

[@landpet]

This is better

[@GP-fv1ps]

How many devices can you connect with this?

[@landpet]

I forget the number eero advertises. It runs 60+ devices for me without issues.

[@MrProTechHD]

This one has a dual core 1.0Gz compared to the Eero 6 with 1.2 quad core with the 6+ having 160mhz support

[@landpet]

This is a massive improvement over the eero 6

[@maskedambitions4268]

My ISP is slow. Will the eero make it faster

[@landpet]

No, router is only as fast your ISP when accessing the internet. Now if you're not getting your advertised sierra because your router is not good, this should help and this should increase wifi coverage again assuming your current router is not good.

[@sprint110]

Is it worth upgrading from Eero 6?

[@landpet]

For wireless backhaul, yes. For wired backhaul, probably not

[@sprint110]

@@landpet sounds good, thanks!

[@Target135]

3pack of the new deco xe75 just went on sale at Costco in the last day or 2 for $350. The non 6e version of the same is $330. Barely more expensive, but you lose the extra band of backhaul for the 6ghz band. I'd like to hear your thoughts if you get it in

[@Target135]

It's listed as Deco AXE5300, but it's just a 3pack of what they announced at CES in January as the XE75.

[@landpet]

XE75 is a really good choice if you have speeds up to gigabit, best budget mesh WiFi 6E

[@lektg]

Can u help with my internet in someway. I pay for 940 download and 880 upload but when I do speed test my upload is 50mbs with Ethernet on my PC ???????

[@KrastyoKrastev]

Check if your cable isn't 100mb. I had the same issue a month ago. Once I change it, I started using the 300mbs my provider gives me

[@lektg]

@@KrastyoKrastev Umm I thought it might be my cable so I bought a cat-8 but I don’t know if it did anything. And how do I check if it’s 100mb

[@landpet]

Cat8 is faster than gigabit so that’s not your issue unless your cat8 is defective. Make sure your switch (if you have one is not capped at 100Mbps). Make sure your PC can support gigabit. How old is your computer?

[@DennisFromSouthFlorida]

A lot of times it’s the wiring within the walls or the connections on the way to the jack

[@bankai6139]

This seems to be a good choice based on value

[@galacticbeat6328]

it's stupid that everything cost so damn much now. given that it's likely better to spend more, get the 6E, and hold onto it longer.

[@landpet]

That's definitely the safer choice, I'm just hoping the firmware updates help the wireless backhaul speeds of the pro 6E.

[@galacticbeat6328]

@@landpet The idea of the eero is really betrayed by the actual experiences I'm seeing on the subreddit. There's a lot of brewing discontent about performance.
