I clung to my AirPort Extreme for years, and then an Eero Pro 5 almost 10x’d my peak bandwidth. I felt like an idiot for not changing sooner. A set of three is like ~$250 on eBay now. I don’t think the 6’s are necessary unless you have/need a 500MB/s connection.
- zikduruqe 5y agoSame here. I've had my 3 AirPort Extremes since the Middle Ages, and just upgraded my house to Eero Pros (Gen 2, found cheaply). As for Wifi, things are just as fast for most of my user devices, BUT my HomeKit devices all now work all the time and respond almost instantly. This alone was worth the upgrade. I still have one AirPort Extreme set in Bridge Mode, and hardwired to the main router so that my Time Machine backups still work with the USB drive hooked to it.
