Skip these and go for the Pro
I just received a pair of these, which I was hoping to use to optimize a network in tandem with two Eero 6 Pros. I can say without hesitation that if you're in the market, choose the Pro over this model. No matter the placement, I can't pull down more than 150 Mbps from these devices, and when using ethernet to bridge to a desktop, they max out at 300 Mbps. The Pros, in contrast, I can get about 600 Mbps wireless and 850 Mbps wired.
I understand that these are the budget models, but it hardly seems worth the upgrade to Wifi 6 for something that can't really deliver Wifi 6 speeds. Also, don't believe Amazon/Eero's claims of 1000 square feet of coverage — that's only line of sight, and even there, the speeds greatly decrease after about 30 feet, and especially though walls. This is mostly a limitation of wifi! But I do feel like Eero could be more honest about the power and speed available on these devices. They don't at all seem to be reporting real world conditions.
