I've been doing IT work for 30+ years. When this router came up on sale, I couldn't resist. WiFi6 for under $50 from a reputable company? Sure, I'll try it.
Setup was indeed fast. I'm not a fan of apps and would prefer to do everything through a web browser, but the app and router worked flawlessly. I think most non-technical people would have no trouble following along and be up and running in about 5 minutes, with most of that time waiting for the devices to power up. Very little needed from the user to get these going.
So far, range has been great and they've been stable. I can't comment on speeds too much as I only have an 80/10 Mbps internet plan, so this router is far more capable than my internet connection. This replaces an Asus RT-N66U router, which is an 802.11n router, and just this single Eero router has better coverage than the N66U. I don't need any more coverage than this, so I'm good.
Despite being so locked down and automated, you still have the ability to set DHCP reservations and Port Forwarding, which really is as advanced as I need for my home setup. Sure, I'd like VLANs and other things, but with some adjustments it's doing everything my old Asus router with Merlin firmware was doing for me. I even have a Pihole connected and running on here.
So...what's not to like? The only things I dislike are generally why the Eeros are so popular. They're not meant for techie users. They're highly simplified, highly automated. There aren't all sorts of settings to adjust and tweak, nor are there tons of reporting. BUT, they're not meant for it. It's a bit of an adjustment for a techie since the Eero handles all of this automatically, and so far, it's handling it well. I'd like a web interface rather than app or at least in addition to the app, but at the same time, the app does everything it needs to. More Ethernet ports would be appreciated though. I did have to buy an external 8-port switch to have this replace my Asus. The Asus had 5 ports total (1 WAN, 4 LAN), whereas the Eero only has 2 Ethernet ports.
At the end of the day, especially after dealing with IT problems at work all day, it's nice to come home and have something this simple that just works. It's home WiFi, not corporate. Eero has managed to turn home WiFi into an appliance. Plug it in, set the WiFi name, set the password, done.
One other thing I like are that firmware updates are regular, so far monthly. Eero's smart in having a limited number of models available, so it's much easier for them to support. They say they'll keep supporting a router for 5 years after it's final date of sale. If that holds true it'd be amazing, BUT, it does look like they've done the planning to make this happen.

Some features require linking your Amazon account, and downloading the Alexa application or using a compatible Alexa device. Internet connection speeds and availability depend on your internet service provider; if your internet service provider does not provide you with the maximum supported speed, you will not experience that maximum speed. Maximum wireless signal rates are derived from IEEE 802.11 standard. Specifications assume wired Ethernet connection; your experienced speed may vary when connected to an eero device that is configured as a wireless extender. Coverage estimates are based on normal use conditions. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions. Specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device. For more information about eero performance, visit support.eero.com. |

Works awesome with an Amazon echo pop to extend the Wi-Fi network
I purchased this along with a bunch of echo pops to extend the Wi-Fi network of my house. This router replaced my old one and is awesome! We have an apartment next-door to our house and with the echo pops in conjunction with this Wi-Fi router we are able to extend the Wi-Fi all the way across the yard and to Our other place. I can literally walk around the block and never lose Wi-Fi now.The app is also very easy to use for set up.
