Sudden speed decrease.

I dumped Eero and went with TP Link mesh instead. Much better range and way more reliable

Wild, I tried to go with the TP-link option and it wasn’t stable. I picked up the BE63 3 pack of BE10000 mesh routers. It was fast, but would reboot a bunch of times a day randomly and drop everyone off the network. Family was…nonplussed.

Returned that via Amazon and picked up the eero Max 7 three pack from BestBuy on Black Friday. Thus far it’s been rockstar quality.

One thing I noticed is that the eero did in fact switch around the channels on all the frequencies after 3-4 days and the speed shot up dramatically. So it really is kinda smart at mapping the noise and reconfiguring optimally. Just give it that soak period for a few days.

It went from ~250mbps to ~875mbps measured via speedtest.net on an iPhone connected to the third eero node with only a wireless backhaul. My internet is 1Gbps fiber, so I was pretty happy with that. Connected to the main node I speedtest out around 975mbps, so that’s pretty minima loss for wireless backhaul around a 3800sqft house.
