I switched my family from AmpliFi to Eero —- drastically more reliable. Few firmware update hiccups but they’ve been great so far. Better speeds.
Only thing missing is good QoS —- the “SQM” they advertise doesn’t work nearly as well as true SQM on OpenWRT. In fact I was never really able to see Eeros SQM doing anything on multiple connection types.
- dtaht 4y agoI wish eero's sqm was more configurable and adequate statistics were available. sch_cake, as used on the eero 5, and in the modern openwrt SQM world, is definitely proving out better for many workloads.
- rhexs 4y agoI had a eero 5 before upgrading to the 6 -- found the traffic shaping pretty useless on both to be honest. "CAKE" or not, didn't do much for me on two connection types that absolutely need shaping -- local cable and local DSL. Had a OpenWRT box as well, and shaping with CAKE was night and day better. Trick is I can't remotely manage OpenWRT for family. Eero is so much better for that. (so stable I don't have to manage it, it just works) I agree they need for knobs, but that doesn't seem likely.
