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 had no idea about that so I just looked into it. fricking insane.

$100/year to get such "premium" features as DDNS, app and ad blocking, and "advanced security". Incredible.

It is hard to get those features in a mesh system but you can easily get all that buying something like a TP-Link that has full OpenWRT support.

I wish I had seen this thread a week earlier. An eero came with my ISP at the new house. I got the bright idea to buy another to extend my network since they had them for $49 refurb on amazon and I just need to get signal to my garage. I then go to the app and try to setup DDNS only to realize it requires a subscription....

So the eero will be returned and I'm on the market for a router again. I need to be able to RDP to my home PC from outside of my network.
