eero mesh WiFi system


Hello all, I know this has been addressed before but I couldn’t find it for some reason. I was wondering everyone’s thoughts on the eero mesh network ? My modem is on the other side of my listening room where the couch is. I would have to run cable and figure out the best way to hide it so my wife won’t get on me if I don’t go this route. Seems the be the best/easiest way overall. I will be running Bricasti M3 with Roon Nucleus. Thank you.

I can’t speak for the Eero Mesh system as I use Amplifi Alien router and mesh but in that room proximity may become a performance issue on the mesh unit as they typically like to be further away from each other.

I used to use a Powerline extender and it worked well- you would just lose two outlets in your room. I recently purchased a second Alien to act as a mesh as I needed additional Ethernet outs. Either solution works great and there is no difference in audio performance.

I ran an Alien on the second floor of my house with a NG Powerline in my audio room for about 6 years. Two weeks ago I added a second Alien (as a mesh) in the audio room (needed more ports) and removed everything else.

The up/down speeds increased and I have way fewer dropouts. There was no change in sound quality, just better performance. Not sure how Eero compares to Amplifi Alien products but changing to mesh was a positive for me.
