Make Sure you Update Software/Firmware!!
Just got this today. Was excited to get it installed. My current router was having issues with dropped wifi daily. We do have 20+ connections (phones, tablets, game consoles, laptops, Echo Dots, Nest Hubs among others) so i wanted to get something that could handle all the connections and hopefully provide a more stable wifi experience and coverage. First, the setup. SUPER SIMPLE just follow the instructions provided on the quick start guide and then follow the step by step instructions on the app it has you download. *Note* It does take a few minutes to identify the router and nodes. I even had to click retry once because it did not find it during the first scan. Once it finds the node, everything is all good. Again super simple, just be a bit patient and following the guide on the app Second, i was excited so i pulled up Ookla Speedtest right away. I was extremely disappointed. I had done some speed tests with the old equipment all over the house for comparison and was getting roughly the same speeds...better coverage but same speeds. Then i started poking around in the app and saw there was an update available. I quickly started that. Took 5-10 minutes and said it was done. I started the speed test again. Bingo! HUGE DIFFERENCE. Downstairs where i was only getting 15-25 mbps speeds previously, i was getting a solid and stable 150 mbs. I pay for 300 mbps from Comcast. Upstairs i'm getting 315-320 mbps depending on the room. Previously with my old equipment i was getting 65 mpbs tops. Super happy with this purchase so far. Its only been several hours but if anything changes will update this review I will say I am running into two issues right now. First, I cannot get my Brother laser printer connected wirelessly anymore. Worked fine with the old setup, not connecting with this eero setup. Second is these nodes run HOT. All 3 of them run too hot for comfort. I will be calling Eero support to see if its normal *Edit* Heard back from Eero support very promptly and had my concerns acknowledged. They say its normal as the Eeros only have a heat sink and no fans. They monitored my system and said everything was within normal range in terms of temperature.
