I'm looking to replace an eero pro system from 4 years ago. I have ethernet connectivity at each node location, so I would be looking to do ethernet backhaul with the AX Mini. Here's my question: I have FiOS TV/Internet which requires me to have their router in the network. So I would want to...

I have been using a Gen-2 eero 3-node mesh with ethernet backhaul for over 2 years. Coverage has been outstanding along with great internode speed. I'm looking for a wifi-6 mesh but will wait till there's more data on their performance.

Thanks to both of you. I did have an original Orbi a few years back in my 3000 sq ft home and it did a great job.

Looking to replace my wifi router with the new Netgear MK62. I know it was just released but has anyone giving it a run through? My current home is under the 3000 sq ft coverage area and I do have FiOS TV/Internet so I will need the bridge mode and if possible ethernet backhaul. Thanks

I saw an ad on TV a few days ago and then I saw this: https://www.verizon.com/home/accessories/netgear-orbi-tri-band-wifi-system/ Very interesting. If you read the fine print, updates are not available from Netgear only from Verizon.

Well I've had to restart it every few weeks. Things slow down over time and then my ecobee3 lite shows a poor connection in the eero app. My home is just 2050 sq. ft and coverage is good.

What about ethernet backhaul? Shouldn't that take care of the bandwidth sharing issue?

Not sure why that happens. I was looking at the 5300 to augment my older 68U as well. I do have ethernet backhaul.

I'm looking to replace my eero gen.1 3-node system with two Asus routers, running AiMesh. I have an older RT-AC68U that was used before the eero and is in great working order. I will most likely purchase the AC86U as the main router/ap. My question is since I'm using FiOS and require the...

I know the UniFi APs are made to be wall or ceiling mounted, but I used them successfully just sitting on a table or desk. They work best ethernet backhaul and have terrific bandwidth performance.

Thank you for the response. Makes lots of sense. If I decided to not ethernet backhaul, would a try-band router(s) are better sense?

I currently have a 3 node eero (previous hardware version) that I am giving to my son. I am interested in getting 2 Asus routers to deploy as AiMesh within my home. I have cat-6 to the locations so I don't need wireless mesh but I do want a single SSID similar to the eero. What's the best way...

I am ready to dump my eero (version 1) system and go with the 86U. How do I setup a single SSID for both 2.4 and 5G so my devices just roam like they do under eero?

Some retailers, like B&H Photo, sell Synology and QNAP with hard drives already installed. But even the diskless ones are very simple to install, both hardware and software. As a former My Cloud owner I found their features very rudimentary.

What ethernet cabling do you have? Cat 5e and above for 1GB
