    When posting numbers and comparing against other devices remember to check which band you are testing through. The numbers by themselves, even side by side with another product don't really paint a full picture. In many cases when testing against the eero, there can be huge discrepancies if testing against a 5Ghz router and you connect to the 2.4Ghz on the eero. There are very few situation where the 2.4Ghz will win out over 5Ghz, and the margin will typically be massive. I think this simplicity is really muddying the waters for people that don't understand the difference.

     

    The 2nd crtiteria that is being overlooked is how each network responds when there are more than one device active. Let's say you have a bunch of different technologies all over your house with a total of 40 wireless devices. In this environment you have a couple of people consuming streaming services, websites and various other media. Multiple units (in larger areas) will certainly handle this better than one centralized device.

    When doing an eero speed test using the app on my mobile device, I'm not actually testing "Wi-Fi speed" but the hardwired connection between my primary eero device and my ISP, right?

    I have just recently switched from Orbi over to the error gen 2 and I am having better speeds with it.  I have 4800sf home 3 stories plus a basement. House was built in 1924 so plenty of stucco and brick walls. I also added on in my garage and get great speeds there as well. Main router is in the basement. Attached is a pic of the speed test.

    Wi-Fi maximizer is a cool app that will show your in home wifi speed.
