Anyone have any experience of the Eero Pro 6e? I'm coming to the end of my FTTP contract with TalkTalk (currently on their intro offer from when they launched full fibre which seems to have no CPI increase but am assuming I'll lose that).
The service has been great, not had to call them once, I get the full 500mb on WiFi 5. decreasing throughout the house of course.
I'm looking at the 500mb service via Giganet at only £2 more than I'm paying currently, continued no CPI is attractive. They offer the Eero Pro 6e router.
Current router is the Sagemcom Fast 5364 that came as part of the service, my TV is cabled (largely because I used it for small amount of gaming via Stadia which will be no more in a few weeks. I almost certainly won't continue with a different service) and my work kit in the garage extension for which WiFi struggles to penetrate.
I've looked at moving to Aquis as well and buying my own router but tbh my needs are not that sophisticated, I could live with the one free ethernet port for the work device and switching the TV to WiFi. Preferably I'd have liked something more configurable ( the Sagempro is poor in this respect too but at least it lets me split the network into 2.4 and 5 GHz.) That could change and I'd have preferred more network ports but then again I suspect I can move with just one for some time.
Thoughts? £37 a month, no router to buy and one that is not a heap of ugly Ariels is appealing. It's a small compromise but the reality it covers my fairly basic needs. I don't really want or need a Mesh network, WiFi reaches everywhere I need it on the house albeit needs 2.4ghz in the far reaches and where it doesn't i've hard wired.
