I’ve seen people here saying they’re seeing like 800Mbps to a gig plus. They have a different band (6Ghz) and if you don’t have any devices using that band (very few devices use WiFi 6E now) that can basically be dedicated to that backhaul connection which means you could get way better performance. If you have to connect them wirelessly I would recommend trying out the new eero 6E devices. If they’re connected wirelessly, you lose total speed because of the inherent issues with WiFi. And if you need other eeros, try to position them where your speed and signal are the lowest and then connect them together either by Ethernet or coax MoCA adapter if at all possible. You want the eero as central as possible, waist high and not blocked by shelves, big metal appliances like refrigerators and away from other devices that can interfere. That’s why products like eero exist, so you can add more if you need better, more reliable coverage. ![]() My suggestion would be repositioning the eero if you can and maybe look into getting another one so you can set up a mesh. Now that I’m in a condo with much less interference, my wireless performance is much better. Today, Ring is announcing the Ring Alarm Pro, a higher-end version of its home security system that will guard both your home and your network security. That’s because it was drowned out by 20-40 other WiFi networks and me being close to a Navy base probably didn’t help either. The updated base station has Eero's mesh WiFi built-in. And “decent was 200-300Mbps down on a gigabit cable connection. In my old ~1000sq ft apartment for example I had to use two eeros and reposition one of them to be inconveniently placed in the living room behind my couch just to be assured that I would get decent WiFi speed in my bedroom about 10 feet away and on my patio about the same distance away. So I never trust what is said on the box. So just like you experienced, near the router you get decent speeds but if you go in the next room you’ll see that drop dramatically. Wireless signals also drop off fast the further away you are from the wireless access point. Our homes are cluster fucks of wireless interference from all the devices we have (even devices that aren’t specifically WiFi like microwaves, phones, and Bluetooth headphones) and walls and floors. They basically list the total theoretical speeds of all the bands together to inflate their claims. The devs at eero post here a lot so hopefully one of them can chime in with more knowledge.īut in my experience, the theoretical speeds and the speeds you’ll see on the box (AX5000, 5000Mbps down, etc) are horribly inflated and misunderstood by normal people (which is the whole point IMO). The Ring Alarm Pro is available to pre-order today for $250, with the Protect Pro package costing you $20 a month.I’m not a networking expert so take this with a grain of salt. This should be useful, again, to avoid the curse of the “did I leave X unlocked” when you’re miles away from home. In addition, you can set up your Spotlight Cam Battery to identify an object left in a specific state, such as if you’ve left your garage door open. Those devices will soon be able to take advantage of smart alerts that will let you know if a package was delivered to a specially-designated zone on your doorstep. Ring also offered up some good news for existing Ring doorbell owners, at least if you’re rocking the Pro 2 or the 2020-and-newer version of the standard bell. ![]() The first company to sign up for the program is Rapid Response, with others expected to join in the near future. ![]() ![]() Ring adds that third parties can’t view motion events when the camera is disarmed, and can’t download, share or save the clips of what’s going on in your front yard. It is only when motion is detected that an operator can access your feed, and can speak to whoever is there to determine their intentions. You’ll need to pay for that separately, but you can hand over access to select Ring camera feeds to those companies who can keep a watch over your property.
