Slow speed with gigabit and eero 6 pros
Current set up is gigabit modem/router combo in bridge mode connected to eero 6 pro gateway, also have 3 other eero 6 pros in house connected wirelessly on different floors and 2 eero pros, one in garage and one on back porch. Cannot get anywhere near the gigabit speed that the app shows from the modem (940 down, 400 up). The max I can get on wifi is usually 50-100 on any number of devices including iPhone 12 pro. Wired connections to Apple TV or computers connected to peripheral 6 pros ranges from 25-100 down, if lucky. I have restarted and reset everything multiple times including rebuilding the network, always ends about the same. This is similar if not slower than I was getting on just eero pros alone previously. Suggestions?

I am having very similar issues. Brand new setup. Gig modem. 6 eero 6 pros all hard wired. 100-110 devices. 6500 sq feet. Hardwired devices get 400mbps. Wireless get 80-100. Speed test shows 940 down 40 up. Very disappointed with speeds, lack of desktop interface and inconsistency in activity reporting. Have a few more weeks to return product but would prefer to work through issues. Can someone contact me pls.

rymccart, did you get a resolution to this issue? I am having the same issue. I have two eero pros online with three eero six pros. The new sixes get the exact same performance as the previous gen. I have gig internet as well and all eeros are hardwired. I would have expected that my wifi 6 devices I connected to them would have gotten at least 500MB of speed. Things feel sluggish on the network so hoping the support team shared something with you.

I was getting ~80mbps via WiFi and even when hardwired directly to the eero pro 6. Returned the eero and purchased the Netgear Orbi. Now WiFi download speeds are around 550mbps and hardwired I've gotten up to 850-900mbps.

The band steering suggestion seemed to help with wifi but still not getting anywhere close to a gig (maybe half that with band steering on). What’s even more upsetting is that my hardwired machine on the primary eero isn’t even getting more than 500 Mbps. I could easily get 800/900 on that machine with the gateway thing I was renting from Comcast.
I just hooked up the eeros today so I won’t give up yet but would love to get some help/advice from anyone who’s figured something out. Definitely should be getting close to a gig with Ethernet so don’t understand what the issue is with that.
