The editors liked
The Eero Wi-Fi system can create a large seamless Wi-Fi network with reliable internet access. The hardware is well designed
Easy to use and you can use Amazon Alexa to pause internet
Locate a connected device and control a few settings of the system
The revised Eero Home Wi-Fi System can create a huge seamless Wi-Fi network with minimal setup. Brand-new Beacon range extenders can hang directly off an AC wall outlet
No cords necessary
And feature built-in nightlights
The editors didn't like
The system is expensive (even for mesh network gear)
Not fast enough for bandwidth-heavy local tasks and has minimal features
Eero's second-gen hardware is still expensive and slower than the competition
With few advanced features. With no Ethernet ports
The Beacons are less versatile than the original Eero

Abstract: After several delays, Eero is finally on the market. A single Eero works as a standalone router and very decent one at that. But if you get several of them you can create a mesh network—which extends coverage to all the nooks and crannies. One Eero costs...

Attractive Design, Good Coverage, Mesh WiFi System, Extremely Simple Setup
Really Expensive, Lacks Some Commonly Found Router Features, The App is Internet Dependant, Only One LAN Port, The USB 2.0 Lacks Functionality
When we first saw how the Eero system worked, it did not seem like a product for the masses and we, like many others had an immediate desire to suggest better alternatives that exist on the market, but, Eero has definitely made significant improvements in...

The system is expensive (even for mesh network gear), not fast enough for bandwidth-heavy local tasks and has minimal features
While super convenient and reliable for Internet sharing, you're better off going with a more powerful and less expensive single router...

Beautiful design, Tri-band system, Impressive performance, Lots of in-app network control
Pricey package, Satellite units aren't versatile, Relatively small coverage area
Eero Wi-Fi is the most expensive of its kind on the market. Its creators have taken great pains to make that entry price worthwhile, and it shows in the product. That said, it's tough to see us getting that much more out of this mesh system over others th...

Eero's second-gen hardware is still expensive and slower than the competition, with few advanced features. With no Ethernet ports, the Beacons are less versatile than the original Eero
Unless you need the second-gen Eero's enhanced range, we'd still recommend a competing mesh system or a standalone router instead...

Abstract: Let me make one thing brutally clear: I love Eero's wi-fi routers. I love how the company brought mesh networking into the mainstream. I love how the hardware's designed. I love how elegant the software is. But Eero's promise isn't new any more. So when...
Each unit has a low-profile form factor, Mobile-based app provides easy management for novice users, Great coverage throughout the home or office, Includes two gigabit Ethernet ports for wired devices, 5GHz band provides speeds of up to 867Mbps
Possible setup issues using Bluetooth, No real parental controls, No web-based interface for accessing additional settings, USB 2.0 port currently has no purpose
Only if budget is not a factor. The Eero three-pack kit is rather costly, and extending its coverage means shelling out $200 per additional unit. That's a huge investment given that the mass availability of faster Wireless AD devices and networks will be...

Abstract: Wi-Fi routers suck. They're universally ugly and hard to use. But Eero's little internet pods are the opposite of that standard. While they may not be the very best in terms of performance, the Eero system fixes a lot of big problems that plague the Wi-Fi...
