    Amplifi Alien?

    Quite alright. Completely understood. We live in different countries and use different units of measurement. I could have easily made the same mistake. I am so sorry to learn about your neighbor. How awful. I have been fortunate not to know anyone who has died of Covid but something tells...

    Okay. We are on the same page. I was talking feet. You were talking meters. I am within the guidelines.

    Amplifi Alien?

    Thank you for the information on 6E. I am probably going to sit things out and wait for upgrades to equipment. I have seen no diminished signal quality with the 200' Cat6 ethernet I have buried and connected to two eero units (backbone mode). The signal at the original and the unit at the...

    Amplifi Alien?

    A Google search brings up conflicting information. Actually, 200' is within the guidelines unless I am reading this wrong https://homenetworkgeek.com/how-far-can-you-run-an-ethernet-cable/

    Amplifi Alien?

    Will 6E be significantly better than 6? The only thing I have heard is that coverage/range may not be as robust as 6. However, I leave that to you, the experts to answer. I think that's good advice to sit and wait for 6E. Problem is, even the next Macbook coming out next year probably won't...

    Amplifi Alien?

    Have owned 1st and 2nd generation Eero Pros. Now with WiFi 6 on the horizon, I am looking to upgrade to a new system. I could stay with Eero and go with their new WiFi Pro 6 mesh system but I am intrigued by Amplifi Alien. The Alien does look like the prime candidate to purchase. I plan to do...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    thiggins, You always the best! Thank You! That gives me peace of mind that I can order a little more cable than I might actually need.

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    Hey Guys! Back here again to ask the professionals a question... I am going to be having an installer bring ethernet cable into each end of my home. One end connected to my router. The other end to a Netgear switch on the opposite end of the house. The cable will be buried in the ground...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    Degrub, The attic is not an option. We looked at that. The house is split level with an addition and there is no way to wire that. The underground method is the best, I believe. Coming off the router. I don't know why you are suggesting the modems, though. I already have a mesh WiFi...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    Guys, A further update.... But first, I just want to let all of you know how much I appreciate you checking in on this thread and my situation. I just got off the phone with Verizon. They can't come out and do the job. The problem is the terminal box. It only has one connection in it. Did...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    Yes, an electrician would probably be better. But they will charge me more. Most charge $70 just to come to your house. The other day I had an electrician in to put in a new transformer for my RING video doorbell and it was $150 base labor plus whatever the parts cost. Verizon will charge me...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    An electrician would probably charge me more. So, I will have Verizon do it. Thanks so much for clarifying the parts I would need.

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    I have had Verizon out a year ago. They couldn't figure out how to lay the wire. The house is multi-floored and an addition was put on in the past 10 years. Really, I figured out the quickest and most painless way to do this would be to build a small trench around the outside of the house and...

    HELP: Eero user needs to switch to more powerful mesh network.

    Let me start with the reason for involving Verizon. I am not a handy man. I can't even drill and patch. That is why I need them. It's their box on the side of my house. It's locked with screws for which I have no means of opening. Yes, Verizon will probably charge me $90 to come out and...
