0Ridiculously Terrible Performance - Eero is Garbage!!!
I recently "upgraded" my Frontier FIOS from 300MB to their 2GB offering.
The 2GB service comes with Eero Pro 6Es. We have three across our single-floor home (3000sq/ft).
The maIn Eerro is in the front coat closet, with the two satellites in the master bedroom and guest bedroom. The guest room Eero is the furthest way, but is still less than 60 feet from the front closet.
We had Frontier technicians out 3 times now. We get 2.5GB+ up or down to the Main Eero. The speed to the main Eero has been verified by all three technicians.
The Master Bedroom Satellite Eero is less than 25 feet from the Main, and can barely pull 150MB down or up.
The Guest Bedroom Satellite Eero averages in the mid-20MBs down and under 15MB up!!
All three Eero units have been replaced by Frontier. This had no effect on the wireless mesh performance.
We had better performance from the old 300MB service.
About to dump this crap back in Frontier's lap and get a regular router and a couple quality access points. TP-Link seems to make good products.

CLARIFICATION:
We get 2.5GB+ up or down through Frontier FIOS' hardwired connection to the Main Eero.

They're too far. Place them closer together and get the nodes out in the open. Having the main one in a closet is probably doing most of the harm here.
-
If they are too far apart, and hampered by a couple walls, then they are worthless.Not dotting outlets across the house with Eeros to get this crap to work.
A quality router and a couple access points can out-achieve Eero with no problems.

rada9933 goodness if you wired in your leaf eeros to the gateway then they’d out perform themselves when in a mesh.
This is clearly your first foray into using 6Ghz Wi-Fi. My iPad only connects on 6Ghz if I am in the same room as my eero. After there is a wall in between it drops to 5Ghz.

No, this is not my first foray...
6G to 5G isn't the issue...
It's the download/upload speeds in the sub-30Mb range that's the issue.
-
rada9933 yep, because your eeros are too far apart, so they are likely only sending traffic to each other on their 2.4Ghz radios. Put them closer and they will use 5Ghz and get higher speeds. Put them even closer and they will use 6Ghz and get the highest speeds possible.
