2nd gen Eero announced.
Well. Eero just announced a new 2nd gen hardware, and I must say, I have pre-ordered it. Orbi raw speed is great (when it seems to work) but you have some major flaws that I just think it's time to...

I will be looking forward to the updated comparison between gen 2 eero and Orbi.

eero 2 wont be any different coverage wise than what it is now , just an extra 5 gig channel to use bit like a tri band router
all 3 tri band routers i have here are in their boxes as i just dont have enough 5 gig clients to need or justify using them , esp wireless AC 5 gig clients

Petey.... Again you are espousing false statements. The 2nd generation Eero's have double the power, triband and, unlike the Orbi, a TRUE mesh system. When is your company going to understand the meaning of "Customer Service"?

lol what a load of rubbish and im sorry but it is
they do not have double the power as that is already surpassed by the eirp levels ( transmission levels ) , they have one extra 5 gig transmission at the same power , so no double power , plz check your facts
consider if they did have 1/2 the max eirp level wouldnt every one be pissed at them being so low in coverage , to claim they have double the power is just incorrect , the eero 2 is untested and so an unknown and if they claim to have twice the power as the eero 1 then the have exceded the eirp and are disregarding the world transmission power rules
and tbh orbi never claims to be mesh , it states mesh done the right way and as far as coverage and throughput thats exactly what it does
you seem to not understand tri band or power levels , it prob why you dont get the orbi
its not my company and i do not work for netgear and never have , i have simply spent 20 plus years in this industry testing and assessing modems and routers
