Pulled the trigger to update my Eeros

TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System(Deco XE75) three pack for $350 was too good to pass up..
Latest Amazon update has essentially killed my local network..Seems to be a common thing based on my few years with them and all the subs pointing out issues

Curious about your setup.
Do you have a hardwired setup or are you operating off of wifi?
I've been using eero 6+ hardwired for a few months and have been having issues with random interruptions. This is becoming more of a problem as I shift to YTTV. I've heard good things about TP-Link Deco AXE5400 and would consider switching. I'm curious if my current problems are eero related or my hardwired setup. I'm also forced to work around the att fiber wire router.

Eero Pros x3..One, hardwired to Gb fibre..from it, hardwired to TV and a PC in the same room..Wireless on it is a firestick and whatever devices come upstairs really
Puck (2) in gues bedroom on the same floor, few hundred feet away..It works guest tv, firestick
Puck (3) downstairs, runs two TVs and whatever devices are in their area..
Honestly, its gone downhill each update..Ive posted here about it before and the Eero subreddit was shut down because Amazon essentially forced a cease and desist it was getting so toxic..the new sub is not run by them so its more straightforward and these are common issues.
I'm honestly just thinking that the wireless backhaul to each puck will be helpful and the ability to handle more devices should help too..Currently the Eero app shows me at about 30 things, which is another thing I hate about the app

Vexus router is essentially in bridge mode already and simply pushes bandwidth to the Eero..I've gone from consistent 990 down, to random drops and buffering

How are those working out for you?

I have a similar set up, upgraded my main to an eero 6 pro last year then have 3 other just eero pros.
I’ve noticed the issues as well.

I'm sure the prices are dropping as they begin to rollout the newer wifi7 models. I just looked at their specs and they include a fiber converter along with the other upgrades. Most of the wifi7 capability will be overkill but I wonder if it's better to jump to this next tech instead of going with the 6? I assume the fiber converter would allow for ATT fiber customers to completely remove their router? I would think that would have some benefits to performance?

My front eero has been dropping frequently this week. It’s great.

Would still need ATT Ont/modem device i believe

Nope, you're stuck with their ONT

I'm simply going to 6E for the wireless backhaul..90% of the devices in my house are wired or not 6e compatible anyway

It depends. Most new AT&T fiber installs the answer is no because they dont use a stand alone ONT. The ONT is in the gateway. The gateway is a combination ONT and router.
Older installs that got a stand alone ONT, there are some ways to remove the separate router but they are not simple and some are not reliable.

Some people on DSLreports have had success with ONT SFP sticks where they take read the certs from their BGW320 and program them into the ONT stick. But it is a lot of work for very little gain. At absolute worst the at&t gateways add 1ms (it is less than that but all the ping tools use 1ms as smallest increment) and the 10,000 session limit is a lot for home users.

Am I the only one that loves my eeros?

I had zero issues for the last few years, owning each new set they made up until the latest, 6Es...
the issues seemed to start when they pushed out random updates with ZERO information provided..
I realize there will be hiccups with any networking gear, but mine were getting to be too much so i moved on..

Good to know. I'll definitely pay attention to any future updates. I currently have the 6+
