Eero’s top-of-the-line mesh Wi-Fi router is faster but flakier
Interestingly, the most significant difference was when testing the furthest point from the router; the Pixel 6 saw over six times the speed compared to testing on the Pro 6, whereas the iPhone only increased three times. This indicates that a 6GHz capable and / or 160MHz capable device will get a greater boost with the Eero Pro 6, but all devices should see some benefit.
Eero devices do not track where you go on the internet, and the company says it has no plans to make that a capability. The devices also do not collect the content of your network traffic. During my two-month testing period, Eero identified an issue with the Thread implementation. According to Eero, a memory leak was causing the devices to reboot briefly. It wasn’t clear if this was related to a Thread device on my network or not, although I did see similar reports of dropouts in some user reviews. Turning off the Thread radio in the app helped, and this week, Eero released a software update to address the issue.
The entire setup process is done with the Eero app , and once set up, you use it to manage connected devices, add a guest network, get notified when a new device joins your network, and receive data usage reports . I grouped my devices into categories such as “gaming” and “appliances,” as well as individual family members. This way, I can easily see how much data my dishwasher has been using or that robot vacuum has been uploading .
There are a number of features that are free on many other routers that Eero puts behind its Eero Secure paywall . These include content filtering, ad blocking, access to historical network data usage, and parental controls. Those controls consist of age-specific content filters you can toggle on or off. It’s a helpful selection — from blocking social media and messaging apps to shopping and streaming alongside mature websites.
