  Best mesh wifi system recommendations

  I used amplifi mesh with 4 points for about 8 years and it was still fine. Recently moved to a smaller house and don’t need as much coverage and new provider uses eero. Amplifi went through brick to the outdoor patios. It was terrific. Very much plug and play with no hiccups. I like the eero app for turning off WiFi to teenagers on school nights. :) Miss the amplifi cube for monitoring activity. All that said, I bought the amplifi 8 years ago so it’s probably outdated, but it was muscular enough to get four of us through working and schooling from home through the pandemic and beyond.

  Looking for Wi-Fi Router Recommendations!

  I second the eero routers. They work great with their extenders. My ex had a big back yard and a casita pretty far away from the main router and it worked great with the two extenders that came with the set.

  Well BIFL is tough for tech. I’ve been using eero pro 6 and an extender in another room. Zero complaints. Had it for about 4 years. Thru Amazon. They offer a bunch of add on services that may or may not interest you, but I just use the routers

  Eero is one of the best mesh systems if not the best. Went through my phases of complicated routers, then Google mesh, ended up staying with eero for the reliability and ease of use.

  Very happy with our Eero setup. Originally looked at the ubiquiti as well but the idea of running Ethernet through my 100 yr old house would have been a real pain. Plugged in the main Eero hub and another Beacon on the 2nd floor, very seamless. When I wanted to plug in an Ethernet device in the basement, just added another extender there, boom, done.

  I second the Eero! I picked up the Eero 6 a while back and honestly the whole setup process was almost… suspiciously easy lol. The app basically walks you through everything and even my not-so-techy partner figured it out when I wasn’t home. Coverage has been solid, no more fighting for WiFi in the basement.

  I have google’s system and it’s ok if you have the higher end nodes and have enough for good coverage but it’s not currently in use. What I currently have in use, but will have to return if I switch full fibre provider is the eero pro 6. I only have two of these but the WiFi performance is a lot better. They’re much easier to use. The app is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy these if they supported router level VPN, like say NordVPN. I might still buy these or the higher models but lacking that feature is a big downside for me.

  Eeros are excellent. most problems people experience usually come down to poor setup. I’ve managed over five systems, and whenever an issue comes up, it almost always turns out to be the ISP, not the Eero.
