Looking to pick up a mesh system and curious as to what you're running in you home.

Eero... TP-Link... etc.

I have an Orbi mesh system. The router is in the center of a 2200 sf house and covers inside. I have a satellite inside the cabinet of my summer kitchen in my screened in patio that covers my backyard.

My HOA provides fiber optic at 300/300 speed. The slowest speed I get anywhere in my house is about 180/180.

swapped to TP 5400s this year after eero consistently getting worse..Had three decos, adding two more outside because the deal was too good to pass up yesterday

I use the 6Ghz to feed each node and just run 2.4/5 for devices and have consistent, 800-900Mbps on two stories

ETA: eeros were fine until I got fibre interwebz and needed a more stable connection..I even had the latest and greatest and they were horrible...

Eero Pro 6e. 3 nodes. 2 levels, 4600 sq ft. It replaced a patchwork google mesh system with various generations of nodes. Had 4 nodes total and it would regularly need to be reset. The eero system is stable so far. Only time I’ve had to reset it was when my internet went out and came back up.

Eero 6+. Easily covers 2 stories 3k sq ft. Very happy with eero overall (I've had a few sets since the OG models, usually upgrade every few years). The Eero Pro 6e is their highest end/newest model but pricey.

Don't go with Eero unless you want to pay a monthly fee to access all of the features.

I was troubleshooting my parents' wifi, and I could barely do anything with the router unless I signed up for a plan.

I just added a Starlink mesh for the other side of my house. There were alternatives that would be cheaper, better, and faster delivery. But I took the easy way and just bought from Starlink since it's an extremely simple install using their app. Bought to boost my wifi for a Blink security system.

TP-Link Deco AXE5300

2000 sf home. It works great. The backhaul feature is very handy.

I use eero but its to get wifi to a guest house.

So i have one node next to the router in the main house, one on the side of the guest house closest to the main house, and one on the completely other side of the guest house.

So ive got wifi in both houses and in the pool area/garden that separates the houses.
