The answer was clear: Our speeds, previously poor, now reached 79-218Mbps for downloads and 71-210 for uploads. In other words, could we give that device a boost by adding in a new access point where the signal started to falter? We moved the first Eero router back to its original location at the extreme end of our house, and we added the second Eero router as a mesh access point in the same living room as our long-distance iPhone. Since we received a two-pack of Eero units to test, we wanted to see just how well we might improve our long-range performance by setting up a mesh network of our own.

The Eero Pro 6E boosted our Wi-Fi performance where it normally struggles by about seven times when in a mesh network. But the Eero makes lots of sense in a mesh setup where you can use multiple, high-speed access points to give yourself wicked-fast coverage over your entire home. It means we wouldn't recommend an Eero as your home's single and only router unless you only had a modest space to fill. These are excellent results compared to other routers we've tested in a similar setup.

We recorded download speeds around 111-160Mbps and upload speeds between 147-252Mbps. However, when we moved the eero to a central location in the large house (as you should in yours if you want the best possible performance) the Eero fared much better. And the Eero has no external antennas, which undoubtedly hurts its long-range performance a little. These aren't great results, but we've tested routers in this exact setup that were unable to push any signal whatsoever to our faraway iPhone. We saw speeds of around 30-36Mbps from the nearby iPhone to the faraway iPhone and 1-16Mbps in reverse. And on this, our longest-range test, the single Eero router did OK. We took three different download and upload measurements to ensure we were seeing consistent results. We then ran the point-to-point test built into Ubiquiti's WiFiman app ( iOS, Android) to transfer data between both iPhones, both ways. We left the house's competing wireless network on, since you're most likely to encounter your neighbors' annoying, interfering wireless networks where you live, too. We then set up an iPhone 12 Pro in an adjacent room, connected it to the Eero's Wi-Fi network, and set up another iPhone 12 Pro in a living room approximately 50 feet (and a few walls) away. To start, we took the router to a 2,000-square-foot, single-story home and placed it in the farthest corner we could access.

We put the Eero Pro 6E through its paces across two different houses and testing setups, and while it wasn't consistently the fastest router we've ever tested, it did a fine enough job in typical use cases.

The eero Pro 6E is one of the most 'no fuss, no muss' mesh Wi-Fi routers on the market.
