Well, I can tell you that article is wrong. Eero does have QOS just an end user can't access it.
And what do you mean Orbi does not? Again, google wifi, Eero all require the internet to work for them to work.

Orbi does not require internet connectivity for the local wifi to work..... eero does.
I am aware of Orbi not requiring it. But that is not what you said above.

Sure it is....
However, (according to cousin who has eero) when Internet connectiviry is lost all local wifi networking is lost. Just something to be aware of.
Sir, I think it's time for you to leave since it is very obvious you are here to disrupt this topic with wrong information.
Actually you are wrong. I just disconnected my Internet from my Eero and my wifi still worked just fine.
Hi Drackene —
Thanks for reaching out. eeros don't require an active internet connection to route local data. However, if you were to reboot your eeros during an outage, it would cause the LAN to become unreachable.
