Eero 6

Has anyone had any experience with the Eero 6 system? I've had my eye on it for a while and the price has dropped. Now it's $167 for the router and two extenders. It seems like this might be a good time to try it.

It's hard to decide what to buy. The "best" ones cost hundreds, but I wonder if they are really "best." I got a T-Link DecoMesh, but I haven't hooked it up yet.

I got a router, I think it's a Linksys, it routes.
Works for us.

I have a Netgear system and it works very well. It replaced a Linksys system which was a bear to set up - had to call support line three times just to get it working. I have returned it because it kept dropping one of the satellites requiring a reboot every few days. Netgear, bought at Costco, has worked flawlessly since installation.

Sorry, mine doesn't use any satellites...

Price isn’t bad if it does all it advertises... but being an Amazon company I would be afraid they have a back door to your data. Guess I am paranoid but my Alexa experiences put me off and I trashed it

My T-Link is still sitting in the box because I foresee multiple problems when I try to set it up. And that will leave me with no Internet.

I have an Eero, don't know if it's a 6 or not. I've had for less than a year and am very pleased with it. The mesh system works so much better than what I previously had. Have had no issues with it. It was very easy to set up.
