Unimpressed... so far (Updated - it won me over)
Installed these today, purchased two to replace an old AirPort Extreme. I was expecting big changes but so far the two Eeros are equal to the old airport. Range is the same and speed is slightly better in some spots but worse in others. I’m hopeful that given a day or two they will ‘calibrate’ or something and begin to perform as expected. If not they are going back, too expensive to show no change from a 7 yr old router. They look nice and are extremely easy to set up though.
Edit: I kept the router have had it for about a year. It’s a solid mesh system and has provided decent coverage. It’s not as fast nor provide as much coverage as I expected but it works well and has outperformed what the old Airport was doing. It just needed some calibration time. Also, the ability to auto switch from 5 to 2.4ghz depending on the device needs is great. I never have to fiddle with tru turning off 5ghz to make sure some specific smart device can connect properly. Removing that headache alone is worth it.
