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.

My Bricasti is not wireless. The only options are run 12-15 ft of wire and move the modem across the room or the mesh network. Unless I’m complexity missing something. 

If you’re just going across the room you’re probably fine with just a Wi-Fi extender like this…

Just run a good Ethernet cable or CAT7 cable from it and you should be fine. 

@soix I have AudioQuest Vodka Ethernet cable ? Do you think this is more reliable than the eero mesh? Thank you 

That’s a great cable!  Just run that from either a Wi-Fi extender like the one I listed above or a mesh node and I’d think you’ll be in hog heaven.

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.
