6+

I’ve had no issues with my eero 6+ units. They are wired backhaul. All HomeKit and matter devices work flawlessly. Even the ones that are at the edge of the WiFi bubble.

yeah you can do this but it won't mesh with the Eeros. the Ubiquiti AP will create its own separate SSID and network. you'd plug it into the Eero via ethernet and set it up standalone with the Unifi Network app. for your shop that's totally fine - just name the wifi the same as your main network and

Mesh by name is a system that connects over WiFi to each other node. One is a router and in the case of Fios, you can connect directly to the ONT and not use the supplied router. The system manages all nodes, channels and power levels. They also help clients roam around. But most allow them to be in

For what it’s worth, I had an Eero 6+ when I went to 500/50. I bought an Eero 7 because Leaptel are selling it at a discount and my speed on my Wifi 6 devices increased significantly. I think the 7 is just a better device in ways other than the 6 to 7 jump.

I like the Asus ZenWifi line (I have Asus XT8 right now), as the security features are included for free. With TP Link, Eero and Netgear you must pay an ongoing subscription fee for the extra security features. People who are considering cost always see that TP Link is cheaper, and that's true if yo

You’ll have less coverage… The IW serie is made for hotel rooms, where we install one in EACH room, or for offfice desks (same, 1 per room). The fact that you didn’t mount on ceiling is not very bad, we install more on walls (vertical), in top part of closets, over furnitures, in false ceiling close

Enable mlo, you will get faster speeds from your phone, it may cause issues with other devices if it does simply disable it. Wifi 6 and mlo are still fairly new, eventually tge sofware firware updates will make it all work smoothly. I have a few wifi 7 devices and 120 total connected devices mostly

In my experience, short cat5e runs can handle 3+ gigs. I'll always replace it with 6 if I can. As far as the routers this is kind of outdated. We provide a 5gig and 9.4gig eero router to rent. Edit: wifi speeds won't reach more than 4.3 on those though Double edit, they're both wifi 7 too. We use 6e

I have a Lenovo workstation and several laptop project boxes behind a hybrid smart switch that is daisy chained off an ethernet port and then running a wireless backhaul off a upstairs in my home. My main "box" is an esxi with multiple VMs on it and it works amazingly well. The set and forget it is

The future (in wifi) seems to be about 3-5 years, wifi 8 is already in the beginning process of being drafted - so futureproofing is a bit foolish in tech world really. Also, unless you need wifi 7 for some particular reason (and your speed says no), there's good reason to let it mature in the marke
