eero 6 router question
ok i have comcast and i now have frontier fiber at the pole and ready to install when i order it.
they provide a router called the amazon eero 6 router. so how will that mate up with my house network? can i just plug that into my netgear hub that sets buy my netgear c3700 router modem and have everything work on my network yet ok?
i figure for phone and my pcs that are using wifi they will hook up to the eero 6 router but i have netgear extenders that connect to that c3700 router side of that combo unit for my back garage cameras and furnace and to my phone app called ewelink so i can remotely control those devices. i really do not want to have to figure out how to reconnect those to a new router, unless the eero 6 will just connect to them also i port forward the netgear so i can see my cameras when i'm away from home. i will have to figure that out again with the eero 6 router if it allow me to get into the settings. thanks

1. The Eero 6 is much more capable than the C3700. by a long ways.
2. what extenders do you have? It might make more sense to pickup a few eero satellites versus using the ones you have
thanks i did see them on ebay for a few $ so after i get the system installed if they only give me 1 eero 6 router i will do just that and get some more if needed. after i asked that question i found a few YT telling about the eero 6 over the modems/routers.
Any brand that has WiFi 6 will out perform the gateway modem. Even a NG MK60, 70 or 80 series will.
