I replaced my high-end Wi-Fi 7 router with a more affordable option – and have zero regrets

Technology

for two weeks, and the results have been surprising. I recently upgraded my home network with a pair of Eero Max 7s and one Eero Outdoor, which has been highly effective. I have a lot of connected devices, between 90 and 130 on any given day, between smart home devices, laptops, tablets, and streaming TVs. 

When I began testing my two Eero Pro 7 units, I decided to disconnect the Eero Max 7 and Eero Outdoor for some time to see how they would perform independently.

Ultimately, the two Eero Pro 7 mesh routers on their own weren’t enough to handle my smart home setup, which has more complicated network requirements than the average 2,500 sq ft home. I test smart home devices and robot vacuums for a living, so I’m always adding new devices to my network. My network was stable with the pair of Eero Max 7, with everyone’s tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, numerous streaming devices, a smart speaker in every room, lightbulbs, switches, multiple robot vacuums, cameras, and more.

You could likely connect dozens of smart bulbs to your Wi-Fi network, as they don’t create too much interference, and connect more demanding devices, like a gaming console or streaming device, wired through your router’s Ethernet port. This type of strategic network management makes it easier for your mesh network to maintain consistency throughout the day without excessive interference and gets you closer to the device’s limitations.
