As always you did a fantastic job breaking everything down. Thanks for all you do.

[@landpet]

You're welcome! Appreciate the feedback

[@JustTrulyUnlucky]

Any mesh alternatives to the eero pro 6e? It’s been constant packet loss wired or wireless and devices aren’t switching which nodes they’re connected to no matter what configuration their support has tried. I have already tried the XT12 mesh WiFi but couldn’t get the nodes to stay synced up but Asus processed my return out of the return window so they’re still a W company

[@evidence62er]

Thanks for the vid, I’m looking to upgrade since I’m using the google 1st generation mesh system, debating between 7 & 6E 👍

[@landpet]

depends on how long you plan on keeping it. Biggest advantage of wifi 7 is the wireless backhaul speeds being very fast.

[@cheesychester9647]

Awesome video, as always. Thanks.

[@landpet]

Thanks!

[@indianajonze]

it's possible that the eero max 7 is the most outrageously priced device i have ever seen in this industry

[@kyleeckhoff7115]

Am I missing something, I have Gig internet service. I am using eero pro, which tops at 250mbs on WiFi, I average 200-250 mbs with it. I recently purchased the Asus XD5, with rated higher WiFi speeds. I average 350-400 mbs even with my Gig service. If I purchase the eero pro 6+, I assume my speeds will still be 350-400mbs?? Any help would be great

[@OfficialJustYoutube]

I have 3 eero pro 6E units that are hardwired in my house. Could I add an eero dual band WiFi five router wirelessly too? Because I need it for my garage so I just want to make sure it all connects and works.

[@landpet]

Yes, according to eero they’re all compatible

[@nickbettle5194]

In a home with no 6ghz devices is there any wireless coverage/speed benefit going with eero pro 6E instead of the eero pro6? It will be a 2 router system wirelessly connected to eachother not wired.

[@landpet]

6GHz helps with the wireless backhaul. Just like the eero max 7 WiFi 7 helps quite a bit with the wireless backhaul.

[@danny2264]

Hello, thank you for the video! In your opinion, would you prefer the Deco X4300 or the eero 6+? Thank You

[@landpet]

Both are great, I probably would lean more to the x4300 a bit more

[@danny2264]

@@landpet actually watched another one of your videos, since I'm using wireless backhaul, I decided to go with the xe75 2 pack. Thanks for all the info man!

[@StickyGeko]

​@danny2264 I've just gotten 1gb and using an old deco m5 I'm getting nowhere near the 1gb speeds. I was looking at the x75 too. How are you getting on with them

[@BennettBenson]

Any idea if I can combine an eero Max 7 with 2 eero Pro 6E or 2 eero 6+ as satellites? I'm about to upgrade my home network and I've been devouring your channel like crazy. Thank you.

[@landpet]

Yes you can combine them. I would use the eero Max 7 as your main router and add the rest to it

[@L0oseScrew.]

Does iphone 15 pro max support wifi 6e ? Coz i have eero 6e and on the wifi 6 i dont have any device connection

[@landpet]

Yes iPhone 15 Pro Max supports wifi 6E

Boom ... thank you .. new subscriber!

Thanks for subbing

[@chrisbullock6477]

Do you ever get any of the ASUS routers..GTXE16000 / newer ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 PRO?

[@landpet]

I did, video will be up tomorrow

[@SIDVENOM]

I’m confused about the eero pro 7 on their website it says up to 9.4Gbps wired so my question is, the eero pro 7 is not a true 10Gbps?

[@landpet]

In theory it should and maybe theres been an update to get there from my last testing it wasnt there yet.

[@marksapollo]

Hi any chance you can retest the Pro 6? Or compare it to the Max 7?

[@landpet]

I dont have the Pro 6 anymore.

[@marksapollo]

@@landpet Ah that’s a shame, was keen to see how the updates have changed the wireless backhaul, still waiting to be able to order gigabit internet, apparently all the cabling and work has been done in my village but they have to test it. Surprised they didn’t put the Max 7 on any Black Friday deals.

[@mozgur_]

@@marksapollo Hi , I have both devices.you can ask anything . But eero 7 giving better performance even with old devices wifi 5 and wifi 6 (5ghz) . i have 600/60 internet never I could reach this speed on my wifi devices , now even my old iPad pro easy can reach it . thanks to 10gbit interface nas performance awsome.

[@marksapollo]

@@mozgur_ Ho that's very kind of you. I have read multiple threads in Reddit of users buying Firewella devices, they claim the firewall and routing of the Eero Pro 6 or Pro 6E aren't very good, and this solution helps them. I have tia emit I've had industry standard apps crash on my works computer when using Eero, so I was wondering if you could say how the Max 7 is in this regard? Does it seems faster and better with its firewall? No issues with it causing apps to crash?

[@mozgur_]

@@marksapollo Hi, well, I can not answer this :) I do not have any client who can handle more than 5 Gbit. But Eero 7 can easily handle 5gbit

[@hammydude2645]

*All of them support SQM feature smart queue management????*

[@mhatrey]

Yes they do.

[@troysright]

You never mention latency . Is there any difference between the different routers in this regard ?

[@landpet]

No, nothing noticeable hence not worth mentioning. I only mention things that are either problems or just the test results and what the app looks like. Latency is typically a nonissue with modern devices

[@davidjones7544]

The eero 6 is not a dual band router. It has two bands or more, but it does not operate two bands simultaneously. You can switch between bands, but if you have devices that use 2.4Ghz, such as smart home devices, you are going to have problems. I'm really surprised by this and I called Eeros and talked with them about it and they kept calling their router dual band. It is not dual band, it is a router with two bands that can only operate one band or frequency at a time. Why on earth they would do this is baffling because many smart home devices operate at 2.4Ghz because it has greater range than 5Ghz. They are also deceptive about it. I'm not sure if they're honestly ignorant or trying to pull a fast one. First-generation home network routers produced during the late 1990s and early 2000s contained a single 802.11b Wi-Fi radio operating on the 2.4 GHz band. At the same time, a significant number of business networks supported 802.11a (5 GHz) devices. Starting with 802.11n, Wi-Fi standards included simultaneous dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support as a STANDARD FEATURE.

[@pridenenvy7524]

I dont know why my eero 6+ can't give me above 500 Mbps download whlile is giving me a constant 900 Mbps upload using speedtest. Any ideas why this is happening?

[@MrPontiac005]

Yeah that does seem strange

[@Morisus]

Would you recommend Eero or Deco?

[@landpet]

It really depends what you're looking for. As an overall mesh system, I think Deco is better but again it depends. I do prefer the eero 6+ to the Deco X20 for instance. They're both great but I think eero 6+ is a bit better. My favorite budget system is the Deco XE75 for instance. The Deco XE200 is amazing. So it really depends what you're looking for.

[@zambiezie]

Eero Max 7 has issues with Bridged mode that the PRO 6 didn't. I have used Eero mesh systems for the last three iterations on bridged mode (behind a Sonicwall firewall). This week I decided to upgrade the Eero Pro 6 (which consistently gets 800 to 900GB download) with the Max 7. Unfortunately, I'm using the EXACT same configuration the Max 7 and it only gets about 160 GB down... consistently) . If I put the PRO 6 back, I'm back to >800. Put the Max 7 back down to

[@landpet]

Thx for the heads up

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

new tech headaches.

[@MARTINRIGGSS]

Pro 6 or Pro 6E for wireless backhaul?

[@landpet]

6E is better for that

[@troysright]

Poor guy , only getting 3.7 gb upload lmao . Good video ;)

[@landpet]

Lol

[@timperrault8929]

I read somewhere that the Max 7 is limited because it comes with a 45 watt adaptor and can use a 65 watt to get max power. Wondering if that is why your not getting the max speeds from it.

[@marksapollo]

No, I saw that and it's stupid, people doing this should expect their devices to burn out, Eero have designed the routers to operate at a fixed power usage, the adapters are built for that usage, they will issue firmware updates and make the Max7 work as designed as they do with all their routers. It just takes them a bit of time and several updates.

[@landpet]

I don't think eero would deliver their device without the correct power requirements. I think we're a couple firmware updates from the fix, it's just something new with new technology.

[@truelojic6075]

or… it’s bc there aren’t many wifi7 supported devices yet

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

Wifi 6e will be around for a while, it does the job that the vast majority of people need. so i can see it as a budget option to wifi 7.

[@NOT_A_TOP_FAN]

Dang! How much you guys paying for 5gb?? With promos, Spectrum is like $90 bucks a month for 1gb!

[@landpet]

155 a month for 5gb up and down. It's a lot but so are the speeds.

[@NOT_A_TOP_FAN]

@@landpet actually seems like a good deal based on Spectrum prices…I wish my only option wasn’t Spectrum!! lol

I wentvwith the Max 7

[@landpet]

Good choice

[@2013TombRaider]

Max 7 prices will fall crazy by end of 2024 so wait out.

[@landpet]

yup, I can definitely see that

[@henrylee8510]

Ok but I think you miss an important feature of mesh systems Bought a eero pro 6 system a week ago but returned it. Everything was great except my devices would not connect to nearest AP. Download to my devices slows to 30% of maximum. Had to constantly turn off wifi and reconnect in order to connect to nearest AP. To me it isn't a mesh. Yeah, they say it's device controlled and not the mesh system's fault. But... I replaced with TP-Link (XE 75 pro) and it is seamless. My devices reconnect to nearest AP in 1 min or so. This is true mesh. Even their lower end systems like the X55 are better at this than top end eeros. Eero can say that they don't control how devices connect but TP-Link has solved it and done so consistently across their products.

[@landpet]

XE75 (non pro) happens to be my favorite budget router. XE75 Pro is basically the same as that but eith a 2.5Gbps port. Overall, TP Link mesh systems are phenomenal but I've had no issues eero devices switching. Some switch faster than others but eero seems to be fine for switching as well. By the way, eero has an option called client steerinf, i have this enabled. Deco has something similar called fast seitching or something similar does the same thing. Bottom line is Deco sustems are amazing, possibly the best mesh systems for the price

[@TheYtube77]

HOW 5GBPS

[@landpet]

It’s available in my area by my ISP

Wow 5 Gbps? Why would you need that lol

Mainly to test routers
