Early deal on the new Eero 7 dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router. Just bought a 3-pack for the new home.
eero 7 dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router.
Processor: 1.1GHz quad-core processor.
RAM: 1GB.
Storage: 4GB flash storage.
Ethernet: Two 2.5GbE ports on each eero 7.
Antenna: 2x2 2.4GHz and 2x2 5GHz.
CamelCamelCamel.
Different tier of product and fbmp depends on whether you can score it? All good though.
I would be VERY cautious when buying anything Eero from FBMP
If it is a US import, it is most likely a cheap carrier router which will eventually become bricked between 3-12 months
mine is aussie version not us import
Even then aussie routers can still be ISP locked and bricked depending on how they acquired it, especially now since ISPs in Australia were given this ability with the Eero 7 system. Its just going to be a lesser risk but a risk I would never take.
okay and? they're not comparable purchases
I hate mine, takes a good 30 minutes of screwing around restarting each one in different orders before they start talking to each other after a power outage.
Out of curiosity have you got them hardwired through ethernet? I'm planning to do that when I move in and hoping I don't have the same issues:(
The paywall of eero plus is a major downside considering the decent work they did making it a decent router, especially with additions of the zigbee/matter in each mesh point. Definitely tempting at these lower prices though
what is paywall?
think he means price point or price range
Nah I mean you have to pay for the eero plus membership to unlock certain aspects of your device. One is your network can automatically switch to your phone’s mobile hotspot (or another designated wireless backup) during internet outages and switch back when service returns. That feels a bit dodge, they should offer that for free, as it’s your router and it’s your own hotspot. Different if it was a 5g access they provided.
recently bought a mercusys ax1500 2pack , set the second node in my room(wired), and across the room with both door closed, had intermittent drop outs/slow connection. wondering if eero6+ will fix this issue? considering on how super light the node was, maybe the quality/penetration through walls isn't as good as eero? keen to hear others thoughts.
A lot of what I read prior to buying a 3-pack suggested ethernet for all three as the optimal solution. Previous gens of eero seemed to have issues with wi-fi only, hence I opted with the eero 7 for the minimal price difference against the lower gen purely for longevity. Either way I have ethernet ports throughout so will default to that option.
only 2 can be hard wired as we don’t have ethernet port in each room unfortunately.
I have the ax1500s too! a 3 pack, it's been absolute rock solid in our 3 bedroom house (small/medium sized)
Old house, normal timber/plaster walls, 10m and a couple of walls between wifi attached nodes.
Any advantage between the 7 and the 6+? Probably just going to buy 2x singles of either. I don't see the 3pk being useful despite the slightest better value per node.
My suspicion is that wifi7 won't really help as it's only for super short spans with no interference.
Currently on an old Asus router but wifi at the far end of the house is dodgy in some spots.
I have google nest wifi 1st generation. Should I upgrade?
I have the Deco M5 for years too - just wondering if I should too!
What's the major difference between this and the 6+? The 6+ is currently on discount as well.
eero 6+
One eero 6+ covers up to 140m2.
Wi-Fi 6.
Ethernet: Two Gigabit ports on each eero 6+.
eero 7
One eero 7 covers up to 190m2.
Wi-Fi 7.
Ethernet: Two 2.5GbE ports on each eero 7.
should I put all eufy and smart home sstuff on the IoT network?
Officeworks already lower at 447
amazon eero 12% cashback by topcashback.
I have a 6+,but looking to join Southern Phone and getting the 7. I've read that i can use the 6+ as a point, does it work well like that?
Do I need a router to work with these? I'm moving into town soon, will going from Starlink to NBN which I'll be upgrading.
Also, is it worth paying extra for the Pro to go tri band, faster ethernet ports? House of six including one who is a streamer.
The eero base unit is a router, though not with a heap of ethernet ports if you have stuff hardwired.
Idk between the models. Still working that out myself.
Go Pro triband if you can. Or Max if you can too. Not worth it for WiFi 7 I would say, as a Pro 6e owner.
Sorry I meant to put modem, not router.
I am looking for wifi 7 modem, is it worth to buy eero 7 pro? or save money to buy eero7?
30% off stacked with 12% Topcashback is OK. Maybe better deals for black friday? Hodl
Just want to add a few comments since I’ve got a bunch of eero6+ setup at the minute.
It’s worth noting that the eero6+ has been revised a little- especially the multi packs . The original triple eero6+ (all have two ports) vs the eero6+”true mesh”triple pack only one has two ports. I’ve been looking at adding a few more boxes and have now been looking at the eero7pro.
The wifi 7 on eero7 is only dual band (2.4/5) still.
The eero7pro has tri band (2.4/5/6) for wifi 7.
Worth noting that aussieboardband and leaptel offer discounts on the eero7 and eero7pro modems if you have their service. Superloop offer the eero 7.
All the above providers give you the eero plus subscription free. It’s actually applied to your eero account and then makes any eero device that you administer have the subscription features.
Providers do give Plus but their units are branded so the app shows ISP logos and text. YMMV with disassociation requests (unbranding). From what I've seen the ISP usually does not action any disassociation request.
I was waiting for a sale on this, but ended up buying a set of Tenda because it was cheaper. Anyone able to help me out on the specs of the BE3600 vs Eero 7? I'm not too knowledgeable on this stuff.
So far the tenda has worked great. Super easy so set up, dont even have to register or link the nodes. Just turn them on, and all the nodes from the same pack start talking to each other its great.
