    hopefully shopback does a decent deal for amazon tomorrow otherwise it's not really as good guys offer of ($750 plus 15% back and another $120 if can pick up in store)

    • raj76 on 11/07/2022 - 20:42

      How do you get that 15%

    How do these eero's compare to Unifi AP's in terms of performance? Looking for a 'set and forget' wifi system for the folks

    • castortroi on 11/07/2022 - 21:25
      +1

      I'm not familiar with Unifi AP's, but I set my parents up with a 3-pack in their 4 bedroom, single-storey home early last year. Since then, I've had zero problems and coverage seems to be more than enough. No calls from them to troubleshoot anything whatsoever :)

      My parent's internet usage is pretty standard i.e., emailing, casual web surfing, and a lot of Netflix, etc. No problem whatsoever, even if 3+ devices are streaming Netflix concurrently. Note: we're using the 'standard' Eero routers, not pro.

      Ubiquiti would be miles better

    • MikeKulls on 11/07/2022 - 22:17

      If you're going to do mesh you really want a tri-band system. Dual band means all APs are forced to share the same frequency. Mikrotik do a tri band and so do Netgear Orbi. If you can do wired, which is a much better solution for several reasons, then just get some basic ubiquiti APs

      • eug on 11/07/2022 - 23:54
        +1

        If they're only using it for internet access and they just have a regular internet connection (e.g. 50Mbps) then tri-band isn't that big a deal as the wifi network would likely still be faster than their internet connection, depending on how large their house is.

        • MikeKulls on 12/07/2022 - 10:01

          That's true, if it works for you then it works. The only issue could be skype or teams.

        • prhino on 13/07/2022 - 08:47

          When you say "only for internet access" do you mean not using it for Plex streaming and stuff like that?

          That's my use case. Wondering if there's any point going for the Eero Pro 6, or whether the standard 6 or 6 Plus will be enough.

          • eug on 13/07/2022 - 09:01

            @prhino: Basically, if the thing you're using it for doesn't require the bandwidth then it won't really make any difference.

            e.g. if your existing wifi network can give you 100Mbps throughput, upgrading to a newer one that can give you 400Mbps won't do much if your internet connection or video file bitrate from Plex is only 50Mbps.

            But if you're doing things like e.g. copying large videos from your wifi-connected computer to your NAS/Plex server while you wait, a faster wifi network (e.g. the Pro 6 with the extra wireless backhaul channel if you're using more than 1 unit) would be beneficial.

            If it's not something you do often you could plug in the laptop with a LAN cable if it's in a convenient location.

            • prhino on 13/07/2022 - 09:08

              @eug: Yeah, I figured that's what you meant, but thought perhaps I was missing something.

              Basically, if you're not transferring a lot around the WAN, the Pro is pointless if your Internet connection isn't at least 500Mbps. And even the 6+ is probably pointless if your Internet connection isn't at least 250Mbps.

            • n2h on 19/07/2022 - 08:20

              @eug: So true. I am using 2 old wifi 5 AP ( Ruckus R600) and it is more than enough for my NBN100 connection and extremely stable. Wifi 6 is only worth spending for nbn1000. Wifi 5 is still good for any internet connection less than 500Mbps.

  • kinpe on 11/07/2022 - 19:34

    I was reading earlier that the 6 Pro has no dedicated backhaul channel even though it's tri band.

    • mlakmlak on 11/07/2022 - 21:42

      Pro 6 or … Pro 6E ?

      • dragonfly090 on 11/07/2022 - 22:53

        Do Amazon Australia sell Pro 6E?

        • mlakmlak on 11/07/2022 - 23:01

          I don't think so. But I read "on the internet" the 6E doesn't support a dedicated backhaul wireless channel - I don't even know if that's a good thing or not.

            • mlakmlak on 12/07/2022 - 08:15
              +1

              @dragonfly090: I thought the wireless backhaul on the 6 pro was using 5.8ghz so all the 2.4 & 5GHz stuff had less interference - but then read this.

              https://www.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/j9ahlv/comment/g8j26z…

              "Clients use all three radios on all three-radio eeros (ie., both of the Pro models). They use both radios on all two-radio eeros (first generation, second generation eero, eero 6, eero 6 extender and Beacon). All the radios are used for all the things. Dedicated backhaul radios lead to poor network stability, since if they are jammed by interference, your network falls apart."

              Does this mean the pro 6 using wireless backhaul is crap?

                @mlakmlak:

                "Dedicated backhaul radios lead to poor network stability, since if they are jammed by interference, your network falls apart."

                What's the difference between interference affecting the backhaul link and interference affecting the connection to the clients?

  • tango1 on 11/07/2022 - 19:45

    Why does the 6+ 3 pack have 3 routers? Does the 6+ not have extenders?

    • jo b on 11/07/2022 - 20:12
      +1

      All units are routers and can act as extenders. They are identical units supplied in box for pro.

      • tango1 on 11/07/2022 - 23:16
        +1

        Yeah sorry I knew they could act as extenders.

        But the 6 (non-plus) comes as 1x router and 2x extenders, which presumable means those extenders are not routers.

        Whereas the 6+ comes with 3x routers but no “extenders” (yes I know the routers can also act as extenders, but it seems extenders-only are cheaper than the routers)

  • Angelscrap on 11/07/2022 - 19:53

    Would 6/6+/6 pro extender would connect to all eero? Or only for those models

  • beOson on 11/07/2022 - 20:02

    Is it worth upgrading from Tenda MW3 to Amazon eero 6 (3-pack)? 390sqm 2 story house?

    • desync on 11/07/2022 - 22:02
      +1

      the tenda is probably the lowest end mesh network you can get

      and thats ok considering they cost $60 - $99, beat the pants of a regular router

      but i'd say a proper mesh network, especially one that is WIFI 6 and that has gigabit ports would be an even more significant jump in performance than your router > mw3

      • beOson on 11/07/2022 - 22:06

        Yea I have some hope that upgrading would bring more performance to the house. Though we are only using 50/20 NBN connection, shared between 2-3 people and not so many smart devices (just a few security cameras and lightbulbs), is it worth upgrading?

        • desync on 11/07/2022 - 22:18

          yes, even if you only 50mb internet the range will be extended considerably and it'll be faster on the edges of the network

          you can sell your mw3 on ebay, my 3x set sold for $55 plus delivery pretty quickly

          it's worth mentioning that the extenders don't have Ethernet ports, so if you need them then this might not be the solution for you

          • beOson on 12/07/2022 - 00:02

            @desync: thx…although I might not need the ethernet port, that is still good to know!

        • eug on 11/07/2022 - 23:55

          What speeds do you get from your Tenda now?

          • beOson on 12/07/2022 - 00:01

            @eug: 54/18.12 wired.
            40/16.1 wifi
            Both tests were performed when one other person was streaming Netflix.

            • eug on 12/07/2022 - 00:45

              @beOson: Do you get the same speed when you're standing next to the main Tenda router?

      If there's no performance issue then don't upgrade

    • michael9865 on 12/07/2022 - 15:45

      yeah have something similar that got got from Kogan 3pk for around $90 a few years but has issues now so ordered the 6 pro 3pk and will see how I go

  • chillipaste on 11/07/2022 - 20:05
    +2

    So the 6+ allows for wired backhaul? Seems like a good deal then, since every mesh point has a gigabit port.

    Does anyone know if you can use the eero as a zigbee hub, but still control to via google home or HASS? I don't use alexa.

    • humpda on 11/07/2022 - 21:10

      That’s a great question…would love to see the answer to this one as well :-)

    • lazydesi on 11/07/2022 - 21:58

      As with the 6 and 6 Pro, these new models both support Thread and can act as a Zigbee smart home hub.

    • MikeKulls on 11/07/2022 - 22:19

      The standard routers from ISPs are usually the cheapest of the cheap. A ubiquiti AP would be a big improvement.

      I would say try this first and if no good then get Orbi, got the Orbi RBK853 3pk for $1.1k but now got this and returning that as want to try this first as I have a bunch of Amazon devices already

  • IMadeYouReadThis on 11/07/2022 - 23:19

    Does 6 range have better coverage than the basic eero device? I got one last week for $97 and it seems to be ok but not the best - may be I need more extenders.

  • y2k on 13/07/2022 - 13:07

    With a mesh network like this, does it matter what ISP modem I have (assuming we still can only get NBN via old phone copper line connected to the MDF of our FttP fitout)? ie if I use the TP Link freebie I got with Kogan, do I get worse performance than splashing for a fancier one, if I use a mesh system anyway?

    • MELso on 13/07/2022 - 18:05

      There are some minor performance differences in modems. However, the router bit of those modems is usually rubbish. If you bridge your modem, you can use a better router like an eero.

      • y2k on 13/07/2022 - 18:33

        Yes, I was meaning if I bridge to the mesh router, does it matter what kind of modem I have going into the RJ45 in the wall

  • Snoop on 13/07/2022 - 22:39

    Just bit on the Pro 6 (3 pack).
    Was deciding between this, Deco, and Orbi for past 2 days. Size of our house dictates that I have to run at least 3 units, and to get comparable (tri-band) in the other brands was coming out significantly dearer. Especially when you factor in the 7% CR or SB Amazon product rebate, plus some other bonuses given here and there. Ends up costing me under $600, and even then, I can still claim it under office expenses. Plus will play nicely with other Alexa products. ;)

  • gruffjaguar on 14/07/2022 - 14:10

    This arrived today and my god it's terrible. I am getting between 1kbs and 300kbs on my local network. My old WiFi 5 router that came with a 2017 TPG connection is hundreds of times faster.

    This will be going straight back to Amazon

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 14/07/2022 - 14:24

      you must be doing something wrong, the speed you mentioned seems too bad to be true!

      • gruffjaguar on 14/07/2022 - 15:23

        I hope you are right. I will do some troubleshooting after work and report back

        • Snoop on 19/07/2022 - 13:21

          How'd you go?
          Mine are running faultlessly, and far better than my (now old) AV1300 PoE set up.

          • gruffjaguar on 19/07/2022 - 18:20

            @Snoop: its improved with some tinkering but something still isn't right.

            I get over a gig per second in 1 direction, but only 50mbs in the other.

            It's fast writing to my PC but reading from it is slow. The read speed is slow enough that i cant watch 4k movies on plex unless the file is extremely small. I will do some more tinkering when i get some free time this week.

            What sort of speeds are you getting?

            • IMadeYouReadThis on 19/07/2022 - 22:54

              @gruffjaguar: I was using Eero 5 and was getting full 100mbps speed but it was struggling further away from router. Just upgraded to Deco X55 and I am blown away with the kind of speed I am getting in every corner of my home. Really pleased!

          • gruffjaguar on 03/08/2022 - 12:59

            @Snoop: i am returning these to amazon, i am back to getting 1mb/s again. not sure what's going on because surely all 3 can't be lemons but the performance is shocking no matter which units i plugin

    • michael9865 on 14/07/2022 - 18:00

      yikes, yeah this is way too bad to believe it to be true, expect something went wrong or defective unit.
      Just got mine delivered will be installing over weekend as want to take my time with it

  • Snoop on 19/07/2022 - 13:15

    Set these up on the weekend. And yes, whilst it's child's play setting them up… Going through the house trying to find every bl**dy WiFi connected device!!!
    Getting great speeds throughout our rather large house, averaging well over 200Mbit/s, and as high as 700. With the slowest points of the house still above 150, and over 100Mbit/s some 35-40m away from the nearest point up in the back yard (which is a further 30m from the gateway). Enter our garage/shed a further 10m back and it drops pretty quickly. (Would just be nice to have some internet speeds here to match now!)
    I find it a little weird how / where it steers traffic at times, but so far they haven't missed a beat whilst son is gaming and other kids streaming on multiple devices.
