Since the Eero supports 5 Ghz, the equivalent UniFi is the UAP-Pro which costs $199 per access point. http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-PRO-Enterprise-System/dp/B0089QB1SC http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-PRO-Enterprise-S... Also setting up a Ubiquiti UniFi is an enterprise level product, with all the complexity that implies. Update: See http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi_FAQ#Wireless_Uplink http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi_FAQ#Wireless_Uplink as an example of what is required to setup Ubiquiti's answer to mesh networking. Note that this requires the user to setup server software to do the provisioning.

  setting up a Ubiquiti UniFi is an enterprise level product, with all the complexity that implies. The many positive Amazon reviews seem to suggest otherwise. Here's a sampling: "This was very easy to install and configure and has great coverage in our 3,500 sq ft home." "As a tech savvy, but non-technically trained individual - this WAP was extremely easy to configure and provides exceptional wireless range and speed." "I can't say enough how simple the installation process on these has been..." Note, however, that the Java Runtime Environment is required to configure the software. I guess the dream of the 90s is alive at Ubiquiti.

UniFi is likely a better solution if you are technically inclined. For most people, getting the controller up and running is too complicated. UBNT targets enterprise after all.
