Thanks very much for the detailed reply. That is very helpful. The eeros mesh I am considering is this one:

​

Do you think it would be ok? (Or should I spend a bit more and get the PRO version?)


I'm a little concerned about placement. Do these sit on a counter or something? Or can I attach them higher up to the wall? Or do they plug into the electrical plug near the floor?

Please clarify - users report that this Eero mesh system doesn't support an exclusive 2.4 GHz network https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMLPSRL/

The units you linked are relatively new and I have no direct experience with them. However, those units are only "dual band", meaning they only have two radios to communicate with your devices and each other. This is probably OK for lower Internet speeds in the 200Mbps range, but I can't speak for their reliability as I have never used these newer, dual band models.

The ones I'm using, and can recommend without pause, are indeed the 3pack of Pros:

https://www.amazon.com/eero-Pro-WiFi-System-Pros/dp/B071DWXLYL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=25P73MTAVJTUD&keywords=eero%2Bpro&qid=1574971456&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sprefix=eero%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNzdKU0xISDQzNkhKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDQwNTA3MlRTSFcyUE8wMVlaViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjM0NjI4MUUzTjhXM0tPVVI1VyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

These are tri-band units (3 radios), and, unlike other mesh systems, eero can use any of the 3 radios to backhaul at any time. Most other mesh units have one dedicated 5ghz radio for this purpose. What this means is better reliability, less wireless airtime contention, and better speeds.

They are pricier, but at $349 on sale right now, I think are worth it over your choice easily. The tri-band is worth that extra money, and the Pro models are the best-in-class for all of mesh currently, IMHO. I'd even recommend them at the full $499 price.

They plug into the wall using USB C and a little USB-to-wallplug adapter similar to what you get with your phone (but eero needs high amps, so not just any USB C adapter would work). They are otherwise wireless, so no other connection is needed. The cord is like 5-6 feet or so.

I have one unit sitting on a hallway table, and then I bought and use these cradles that hold the eero Pro right on the power plug for the other two:

https://www.amazon.com/Holder-Simplest-Bracket-System-Router/dp/B07F12C6TY/ref=pd_sbs_147_1/140-5119736-7531529?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07F12C6TY&pd_rd_r=a7f013a0-bcf7-494f-9b84-374d848e354a&pd_rd_w=a2r2B&pd_rd_wg=wYw71&pf_rd_p=5873ae95-9063-4a23-9b7e-eafa738c2269&pf_rd_r=12PB5H7G7ZDAFA0RT3ME&psc=1&refRID=12PB5H7G7ZDAFA0RT3ME

The whole beauty of the system is how easy they are to rearrange to get the best coverage. That's why I'm confident you'll find some configuration that works, trying a new location for them takes seconds.

If you need concentrated coverage somewhere temporarily (like outside for a BBQ), you just unplug and move the eero near there, then move it back after the party is over.

The latest released eeros are not same as original eeros. The insides are identical to eero beacon that is sold with eero pro.
