Re: Recommendations for a mesh router?

I second the Eero system. I have three different locations (home, office, cabin up north) and we can go between them with no problem. Range is good even in a 150 year old log cabin. While the app is on my phone, it’s easy to manage, and I can do it from anywhere. There’s a security app you can add for a nominal price that almost makes it impossible for non-authorized users as well. Content filters and such, eliminating my need for a barracuda to watch and control grandchildren's browsing too, regardless of the device they use.

You just missed some real good Prime day deals!.

I use an Eero system and have been 100% delighted with it. Coverage is amazing and being able to walk from top to bottom of the house without even a stutter is great. Even though it has no external antenna I get coverage all over the yard and for some way down the street. I also make use of the ethernet port to hard wire an upstairs printer that "gets forgetful" of its wi-fi settings and was a real nuisance.

You should ask Aaron B - I recommended it to him and last I heard he was still very happy. Have yet to meet anyone who was in any way disappointed.

My only critique is that they don't currently offer a web interface which means doing the little configuration needed on a tablet - with my fat fingers ... well I'd rather use a keyboard. That said I can't remember the last time I had to do anything with it - it just works.

Folks:

My current router is getting flaky and I think it's time for a replacement.

I'd like to get a 2 node mesh router and I'm looking for recommendations.

I'm currently looking at Orbi, but want to cover my bases.

Thanks!

David
