Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Mesh Networking. The hype. Gotta try it! EERO who? Oh, an Amazon company. Cool! They must be good. Bought six of these units (two 3-packs) to improve on my 10 year old Apple AirPort setup. Each EERO unit is hardwired back to a Cisco Switch that is connected to a reliable 80Mbps CenturyLink DSL Modem. To be fair, the EERO setup experience went very well. Added the first, then the second...etc. After setup, the app and functionality was really fussy. Blank screens, unresponsive, unknown errors, disconnected EERO units, reboots. I posted receipts! The wifi performance was abysmal. The very iMac I am writing this review on is 5 ft (clear line of sight) from the EERO unit it's connected to and it still takes 30 seconds for a webpage to load. When I connect the iMac to the very hardwire serving the EERO a webpage loads in less than one second. That's about as black and white a test as you can do. The irony of having to bypass a crapy wifi system in order to be able to write a review about that wifi system is legion. Support? In my mind, it's 2019 and if you need to contact support for a residential WiFi system (a 30 year old technology) then you bought the wrong WiFi system. Thank you Amazon (as always) for your graceful return policy. Back to the 10 year old Apple Airports for me. They work! Buyer beware on this EERO crap. Amazon, sell this EERO company quick. They're putting a ding in your rep.
