Plus, these mesh router systems give you greater control of your home’s Wi-Fi. A mesh router is a great option if you want to solve the problem of multiple dead zones. “You can buy a third-party router from Best Buy for pretty cheap and you can save that recurring cost that they charge you - there’s like a $10 cost on your bill ,” Noronha explained. However, once you have the modem you’re under no obligation to you use the internet provider’s router. Even if you don’t pay for cable, you need to have a modem from an internet service provider (ISP). Nest Wifi is newer, faster and more colorful than its predecessor, Google Wifi.Ī mesh router system can’t work by itself. We talked with Sanjay Noronha, the Lead Product Manager of Nest Wifi, who explained the advantages of a mesh router system, and the unique benefits Google’s solution affords. You can then add more points, but each addition point tends to cost between $150 and $200. Most of the popular mesh router systems, made by Google, eero, Netgear and Linksys, have starter kits that consist of a router and a singular point, and they usually go for between $250 and $300. It requires placing extra hardware around the house, and extra hardware is going to drive up the upfront price.

The main downside to a mesh router system is that it’s a bit more expensive. You can just add extra points to your system and place them around your home.

If you have a home with multiple floors or just a large home - 3,000 square feet or more - a mesh router system can ensure great Wi-Fi coverage.

(Although, having multiple Wi-Fi extenders tends to add more complications, as each creates a new network and will have a different name, aka an SSID). If you’re just looking to cure a singular dead zone, on the other hand, a Wi-Fi extender is probably the most cost-efficient solution.

If there are multiple dead zones in your home, a mesh router promises to solve them.

If you’re constantly having to reboot your system - unplugging your router, waiting 10+ seconds and then plugging it back in - then you might want to think about switching to a mesh router.

I just want to get the Eero's back working. So, I thought I'd do the same at my house and bought the 2-pack maybe 3 or 4 months ago now and I am starting to regret my decision.Īny tips would be greatly appreciated. I installed Eero's at my parents house before they were purchased by Amazon without issue. But I have to say that for a premium product, my experience has been totally abysmal. I bought a cheapo Netgear router from best buy to get me through until my Eero's are fixed. I tried to call Eero today but sat on hold for an hour and had to move on to other things in my schedule.

I sat on the phone with Eero this weekend for over an hour and they tried to 'push' a new network configuration to my Eero, that did not work.

I've tried deleting and reinstall the Eero app.

I've tried turning off bluetooth and wifi and waiting.I've tried three different devices with the app, two iPhones and one iPad.I've tried setting up both Eero's as the gateway, neither moves past the same spot referenced above.I've connected the ethernet from my modem straight into a computer to confirm internet is live and working.The Eero light does turn solid blue, indicating a pair but the app never progresses. Despite many, many attempts, I cannot get the app to move on past the 'Looking for Eero devices.' screen. So, I deleted the network from my Eero app entirely and hard-reset the gateway Eero and unplugged my second Eero. After replacing my Spectrum modem, my Eero network would not come back online. Looking for some help from the community regarding Eero setup.
