Competitor speeds
Does anyone have experience with the 2nd generation Eero? I really want speed for streaming, hardwire if i have to (have had Orbi problems with that as well). My ISP offers 200Mbps lately. I a...
The v2 Eeros aren't released yet.
Sorry to hear your Orbi didn't pan out.
Mine's been working consistently very well since I bought it last fall.
So if you change the IP address of the DHCP in your router, the satellites update? Mine are currently all sitting in the same room and I can't do something basic like that.
just to point out the 2nd gen erro wont be any faster than the original in both wifi speed or throughput , all it has is a second 5 gig transmission , eg thats what eero claim is why its twice as powerful as the first one but its just spin
orbi is still the best throughput wise over its sats using wifi as the backhaul connection method
if you have structured ethernet in place the obvious answer is to not use any mesh/DW at all and just employ wireless access points as has been done for many years in schools / offices and the like , using ethernet and access points is by far the best approach but for those that dont have or want structured ethernet then this is where orbi comes into its own

btw im a little confused about what you are asking here
as if you change the dhcp server / lan ip address of any router all devices connected to that router will follow and change address accordingly
why are they sitting in the same room ? they wont work very well in such close proximity
