Amazon eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi 6 router system

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I’ve had this a while but only just got round to setting it up.

I’m well impressed!

Getting these speeds throughout the entire house.

Just need to get one more hub for my man cave/studio

 

[Mr Underhill]

They’re incredible aren’t they.

I was using an old apple airport extreme and thought it was the best until I discovered Netgear RBR350 — Orbi AX1800 WiFi 6 Dual-band Mesh Router.

Can go to any point in the house and get the full download speed I pay for.
Pay for 250 and get 250 / more.

We don't have WiFi in our house, or have a microwave anymore. Was worried about the radiation. Plants weren't growing near the router etc. Be careful.

Aye, same. I send smoke signals to Jeeves down the road with what I want him to post on CS for me

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Must have been lagging a bit yesterday. Got this today. Bosh!

Think Jeeves has mesh, but he's also an unbearable showoff

3ms ping, are you nextdoor to ookla?

 

[Mcaff]

Not bad here no real fancy router, not really needed as all I use it for is Cs, p**n and eBay … in that order.

Host a server for them 😏

I have mesh, with ethernet backhaul between the 3 Asus router nodes, much success.

But, rural broadband sucks.

Virgin?🤔🤣

























Media?😉

Decent speed that!!

Whats the sketch with virgin hubs? Can these mesh routers work with Virgin?

Best thing to do with a virgin media hub is put it in modem mode, and run your own router.

Can't believe your speeds....

I've been waiting for Fibre for 2 years...

Yes.

Yeah I would think it would be a massive improvement mate.

I bought these because my virgin broadband got so bad it wouldn’t even connect to my smart tv in the other room. I can connect to it down the bottom of the garden now. Unreal bit of kit.

Ye my range isn't too bad, it's just the garden I lose coverage so have a virgin pod thing that extends the signal in kitchen and into garden.
5 quid a month extra on my bill for that though.

(I am cheating, in the office with 1GB leased line)

At home we have a Deco mesh and I'm really impressed with it, what really blows my mind is how easy they are to set up compared with 10 years back I've heard the amazon and google systems are very good too.

Yeah my eero was a piece of piss to set up. Took about 10 minutes.

Random thread resurrection, the Eero pro is half price at the moment (although knowing Amazon it probably always is 😂) so I picked up a two pack.

Really impressed so far, setup was super simple and my speeds are now consistent across the whole house.

Haven’t gone for any of the subscription guff. Hopefully it’s reliable, this is only day one….

I’m looking at a mesh system so I can bin off my plug extenders.

Do they all have LAN sockets with them or are they WiFi only?

My router is in the dining room which is in the middle of the bungalow and I want good coverage to the front and rear of it so I’m thinking a 3 pack. One plugs into the router if I’m not mistaken, and then two others run via WiFi.
My walls are all solid brick and WiFi from the router to mine and my son’s bedroom at the moment is s**t so use a plug extenders which still isn’t great.

Ideally the connection would reach to his bedroom for the second box and I can then plug his Switch, Tv and TV box into it. The same for our bedroom for the TV etc.

 

[Oggy997]

Not all brands do.
My orbi rbk953 does, but the likes of the tenda ones don't (or didn't, when I last looked)

The Eero pro have two Ethernet sockets on them, so that would work. You’d need an Ethernet switch too but they’re dirt cheap.

Nice. I've got one of those for the living room to connect the TV and Sky box via a plug extender. I'll just grab another for the bedroom if WiFi isn't strong enough.
I'll see how the new BT setup is in a few weeks when it gets installed before deciding how many I need to buy.
