The Roaming Californian –
Short Review: The Amazon eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi system is a huge lifesaver and brings internet to the various levels of my rental home without the need to drill holes or run cable. When it was on sale, it was a fantastic investment in my home network.
Full Review: After recently moving into a new rental home, it became quickly apparent that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) modem and “network extender” were not going to provide us with that sweet-sweet nectar of life known as Wi-Fi in every room of this 90’s era château. How was I expected to enjoy quality content on the various commodes throughout the house without Wi-Fi in every square foot? Or at least just outside the room with the physical modem? While the ISP extender worked on a coax cable, the age of the house meant the wiring had been cut and modified so many time that cable outlets were dead and would require an entire refit. A call to the ISP revealed they would run cabling at approximately $175 a visit. So, I was left with three options.
First, stick with the current internet and just live with cell data while sitting upon the porcelain throne. Not a great option as I am paying for a service and wanted to use that near gigabit internet. Second, pay the $175 to have the cable ran which included drilling into the side of the house. This was a viable option; however, it could result in only the Master Bedroom having stable internet. Which was not ideal for the number of IoT devices I have in the house (e.g. lights, outlets, tablets, etc.). Third, purchase a mesh Wi-Fi system and place it throughout the house. Full disclosure, this was probably my least favorite option. Why should I drop an additional near $300 on something that the ISP should provide? I was leaning towards running the cable until I started looking on Amazon for a solution.
I found the eero 6+ and its competitors and started doing some research into mesh networks. After a solid few hours on YouTube I decided to purchase the eero 6+ because I have come to trust most Amazon products for their ease of install and integration with other smart devices. I have to say, I am extremely happy with my decision to purchase the eero 6+.
Install: Install was simple and easy. A plug-in here. A naming in the app there. Make the network the same name and password as my previous one and everything snapped together with the same satisfaction of the final piece of my “Shirtless Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park” puzzle. Much like the puzzle, everything came together beautifully and seemed to make the house feel more like home.
Function: As soon as the eero 6+ was up and running we noticed a significant difference in the Wi-Fi coverage in the house. Pure night and day. I was back to streaming the latest 4K cat videos in the Master Bathroom. Even without a unit in the basement, we were still seeing speeds at 400 mbps which allows the kids to enjoy their favorite streaming service uninterrupted.
Items of Note: If you are an Apple user and have certain features turned on, be prepared for some interesting prompts. If you or anyone on your network are using Apple’s “Private Wi-Fi Address,” that device will show as an “Unnamed Device.” This is only problematic if you are attempting to add devices to certain profiles to control site access and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Price: When I purchased the eero 6+ it was on sale at $239. As of this review, it is back up to $299. Even with how much I like the eero 6+ now, I may have waited or gone with another product if it were not on sale. I think $250 is my relative price point for this product. I was looking at spending $175 to have cables ran, but for $64 extra I could avoid that hassle, which may not work as desired, and have a system I could move to my next rental property when I have to move again. Furthermore, Amazon’s return policies are excellent, so if the product didn’t meet my needs I could always return it and have the cable ran. The good news is that Amazon always has deals going on so one could wait until these go on sale again to purchase them. Even now, there is a 4-Pack on sale for $284 which is cheap than the 3-Pack.
In the end, I love this product at the lower price point and will likely purchase more eero product if my needs expand.

First, I would say, the install was fairly easy. However, you need to have cell reception in order to register and set up the eero mesh network gateway. This is not the case where I live because I have terrible cell reception. I found a very helpful post that explained how to keep your old router active and plug in the eero Gateway through the ethernet port of the old router in order to get signal to set up the new Gateway. Once that was set up, I took away the old router, rebooted the modem and the gateway, and it was smooth sailing.
Most of the connections went fairly smoothly. I kept the same network name and password and anything from that network connected rather seamlessly.
I did have to go into each Smart home app to reconnect any devices now that the mesh system works on dual band rather than separate SSID distinctions. My echo devices seemed to know what to do. Anything on the 2.4 had to have network name and password set up since it all operates on one network.
My first complaint is that the 6+ mesh network is dual band and anything that requires 2.4 GHz needs some extra help. In settings under troubleshooting, you can disable the 5 GHz band temporarily while connecting the 2.4 GHz devices. It’s not completely obvious unless you poke around in the app. This was very helpful until it came to the my Q garage door opener.
My biggest complaint and the he reason for only 4 stars, is that there is a known issue that the eero 6 networks do not play well with MyQ devices. It is disappointing because Amazon key delivery relies heavily on MyQ openers. I did a deep dive through Google to find possible solutions. There are several listed and I’ve tried each one. In fact, when you google MyQ + eero, you will see a slew of sites that discuss the exact problem and possible solutions. This included temporarily disabling the 5 GHz band, disabling WPA 3 in the developer options, unplugging any additional mesh nodes other than the gateway, using your old router as a bridge through the gateway, uninstalling the MyQ app and downloading again, forgetting the original device and adding it from scratch. None of those worked for me. I am stuck on the “searching for available networks” screen and no further. It does not even let me see ANY networks or choose them.
The MyQ worked flawlessly until installing the eero. I wish Amazon had 1) made the issue known on the product page and 2) worked a little further with MyQ to troubleshoot this issue for a solution prior to calling this a human friendly set up item. I purchased the MyQ from Amazon, so an algorithm to search past purchases for MyQ and shopping cart additions could have led to a warning before spending so much money and time for a customer.
For anyone without a MyQ, and looking for simple “plug and play”, this is a good option. My coverage is way better than before with using extenders. Speeds are very good. Re-integrating my smart devices was mostly painless after discovering the temporarily disable 5 GHz feature.
I love the speeds and coverage a lot. Eero has good tech support though they couldn’t solve my one big issue. Outside of that issue, this is a good network. At least for the two days I’ve been using.

I used to have an older model of Google WiFi, but wanted to switch to a newer option that would better utilize the 1 Gig fiber internet we have at the house. I didn’t like how Google changed the app setup for their mesh options, so I decided to try the Eero 6+ option.
So far, it’s been great, and very easy to use. The app is easy to navigate. I like that you can still setup times when certain devices are paused (this was a requirement of ours since we have kids in the house that would be on their iPads all hours of the day if they were able).
Setup was easy. I do have all the nodes hardwired via Ethernet cable, so none of the WiFi speed is utilized for the backhaul. I’ve not seen speeds lower than 200 Mbps anywhere in the house. If you’re relatively close to a node with an unobstructed line of site, speeds have been as high as 500-700 Mbps. Even in the backyard about 20-30 yards from the closest node, we’ll typically see 130-160 Mbps on our iPhones.
Bottom line is that no matter where we are in the house, speeds are far more than simply adequate to do anything we need on any of our devices.
Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Eero 6+, and if all the other Eero products are as easy to use, I doubt you could go wrong there either.
