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 networ...
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.
thanks everyone for the help. i tried the ewelink forums and so far no one has replied. but the eero support did tell me the ewelink switches should connect up to the eero 6 just fine. so in a couple of weeks we will find out for sure. i will let you all know if they do and if not i will try to connect them again to the netgear combo unit and see if that connects to the eero 6 router in router mode and work. the eero 6 support thinks the netgear router will pair up with the eero 6 router if i plug the eero 6 into that router. so that the netgear extender will be seen by the netgear router and then transfer thru the lan to the eero 6 and then wifi to my phone. but again i will soon find out when they connect the fiber to my home in a few weeks. thanks
