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.

can anyone tell me if i can get these eero 6 routers say from ebay or amazon and have them connect to the one i get from frontier? i do not yet know just how many frontier will leave when they do the install on march 11 2024. i figure at least one but if they do leave 3 as most come in a group of 3 that may be plenty for me. but if they only leave 1 can i get some more myself and connect them?
thanks

I don't have eero so you might have better luck on their forums. but from my readings, the devices can function as either a router or a satellite. You'd just want to ensure you get one that is compatible. So I'd wait to see what version and how many you get from frontier before buying anything.
