#EERO ROUTER REVIEW PRO#

This is where a stand-alone router like the eero 6 Pro comes in: it does a better job of spreading the WiFi signal around your house (yes, you can also buy WiFi range extenders or Powerline Adapters, but with a good router, you might not have to), to a large number of devices. The list goes on and on…Īnd the more WiFi-connected devices you have, the more your router is going to struggle – after all, it has to keep dividing the data between all those devices. From phones to tablets and computers, to streaming devices and Smart TVs, voice assistants like Alexa, smart lamps, smart electrical plugs and even your doorbell. More than 10 connected devices: Until a few years ago, most of us had just two or three connected devices at home – a laptop maybe, two mobile phones, and that’s about it.īut now, almost every electrical device in our house wants an internet connection.

Or maybe you’ll remain connected to the WiFi, but the speeds will slow down to a crawl, and your Netflix watching will feel like a long, painful buffering session. You might not be able to connect at all, or you might suffer from constant disconnections. If you live in a small flat, if you don’t have a lot of devices connected wirelessly to the internet (more than 10, let’s say), if everything is currently working OK – then you might not need to spend the extra money.īut in a lot of more complex situations, your “free” router may not be good enough anymore:Ī bigger house with thick walls: If your house is divided across two or more floors, and/or you have particularly thick walls, you might find that your ISP’s router can’t send the WiFi signal far enough – and you’re having trouble connecting to the internet the further you get from the router. These hubs differ in quality, and for some people – they’re certainly sufficient. In most cases, that hub has two functions – it serves as a modem, which is the part that brings the internet into your house via the ISP’s wires, and also as a WiFi router, which spreads the WiFi signal around your home. Whenever you subscribe to an internet service provider (ISP) in the UK, you get a router/modem (or “hub” as they’re often called) for free, as part of your subscription.

So in this review, I’ll take an in-depth look at its performance, who it’s best suited for – and whether it offers good value for money. Of course, it’s not all perfect – with just two physical Ethernet ports on the device, and some features that annoyingly require a monthly subscription, the eero 6 Pro certainly has its downsides.

After all, we get free routers from our ISPs, so why would we need to buy one? But here’s a little secret: most of those free modems/routers from ISPs are not very good, especially if you have a big house with lots of WiFi-connected devices.Īmazon’s eero Pro 6 router tries to solve all those issues that inferior routers usually present: it provides WiFi 6 cover of up to 190 m² (without having to add an extender unit), you can connect more than 75 devices simultaneously, it has some useful monitoring and control features, and – it offers what is probably the easiest setup I’ve ever witnessed on a router. Standalone WiFi routers are often considered something only tech pros would look at.
