    If the modem does not have a router built-in, then you can't go Modem -> Switch because the modem usually needs the router to assign IP address, and most switches are "dumb," meaning they can't do DHCP either.

    Possibly better coverage for WiFi6 devices, but the range for non-WiFi6 will likely be the same. You may want to go with the three-pack of the newer eero routers first and see how they work, but hold on to the five eeros you have now and possibly add some of them to your network and see how it...

    The new $99 eero is, from the specs I've read, essentially an eero Beacon but with Ethernet ports. The re-named eero Pro is a tri-band router while the Beacon and $99 eero are dual-band.

    What I really like about eero is the ability to check current isp speeds coming directly into the main router and check connectivity, all remotely.

    I'm not so sure. I'll bet good money that one of the first things Amazon does is outsource tech support offshore, which is one of the reasons I liked eero as a company - the support was US-based and I always understood the person I was speaking to and vice versa. I just upgraded my internet...

    One thing I really have to reiterate about eero is their US-based customer support. Very friendly people who never sound like they are reading from a script and truly love their job. I have had to call them twice about some simple set-up questions that I couldn't find an answer to online. Very...

    Hardware Review Eero 2nd Generation Review: Now Twice As Powerful! On Top Of The Connectivity Revolution

    This is my first mesh system, and it works quite well, even with my relatively slow internet (the downside of moving to a very rural community). When I finally set up all of the audio and video streaming devices in the house, along with my wife telecommuting and me "working" at the opposite end...
