eero Pro Gen 2 thoughts

[sm00thpapa]

Anyone else running the eero Pro Gen 2 system? Ever since I went to it 3 months ago there is no way I can go back to a single router. 3 months of reliable full speed 200Mbps makes for a happy family. All 3 routers cover my front yard and garage, upstairs and downstairs, back yard patio and pool area. This system has been a blessing.

I had an Orbi RBR50 with two RBS50 satellites from March until about 2 weeks ago. The Orbi was fantastic until July of this year when Netgear totally lost control of the firmware. The Orbi basically became unusable. 6-8 times an hour a subset or all of my 90+ clients would disconnect and the router or a satellite would completely reboot.

Two or three weeks ago I sold the Orbi after a couple days with my 2nd gen Eero Pro system (I have the 3 2nd gen eeros + 1 beacon). It is, completely flawless and my fingbox shows virtually no client disconnects.

The speed is outstanding to my wireless clients (I have 300/20 cable) and I could not be happier.

That's awesome dude. I also replaced my Orbi system with the eero system and couldn't be happier.

I have the Eero pro pack running but was unable to get it to work with the other network stuff I have (Sophos XG or OPNsense, Cujo etc...) so the only way it works for me is in bridge mode. My only complaint about the units is that I do see the occasional disconnect (mostly on android clients) when roaming between units. Happens less than other units I've had (with the exception of Plume) but not a major issue.

No disconnects here on any devices. 40 devices connected at all times.
