Telecommunications Company Salespeople never tell you this.
Something that I have learned while briefly working in telecommunications sales is that companies don't tell you that their modem/wifi router base stations suck. They are the cheapest things they can get away with. They also don't tell you that their boasted speeds, i.e. 200 mbps, 400 mbps, or even 1 gbps, are only if the computer is plugged in. Wireless, especially when coming through what I have already said was the cheapest thing available is going to be much slower. A mesh, such as eero, solves that by plugging in where the computer would plug in. This way, the speed is more true to what the advertised telecommunications company's plan speed is, distributing that speed of connectivity throughout your home in a way that just isn't possible with a router/modem alone.
