![]() Scenario A - ISP -> Gateway eero -> node eero (via cat 7 ethernet in the 2.5 Gbps ports) -> iMac via Ethernet + iPhone via 5GHz WIFI. My testing computers is an iMac using WIFI and Ethernet on the node eero. I have a gateway eero connected to the cable modem via the 1 Gbps Ethernet port. So here’s my internet connection Docsis Cable 1 Gbps down 40 Mbps up. Seriously?! I haven’t seen a cable rated for less than a Gigabit in years! You definitely won’t be buying one in a store in the year 2023. Like one from James eero employee, whose response was to question if the person’s cable was only rated for 100 Mbps. Im not trying to be ’s just that I noticed that the first response to all of the previous posts was to deflect blame onto cables or something else the person did wrong. I’ve been an IT Professional for over 13 years - both as a network administrator and a software engineer and I can tell the difference between that and a device problem. Before I go into the scenarios I just want to get one thing out of the way: there’s nothing wrong with the cables, modem, or any interference. Something about the way Eero is processing the ethernet feed seems to be the problem. I have a TP-Link router than can produce the same results. I can live with the second scenario but I was really hoping I could eliminate the CenturyLink Modem. In the first scenario, the speed is somehow getting throttled. In the second scenario, the Eero passes the hardwired signal just fine. ![]() Eero Pro 6 with PPPoE firmware -> Wired Connection to Laptop: 400-000 mbpsĬenturyLinkPPPoE Feed -> CenturyLink Modem-> Eero Pro 6 (using DHCP from the modem)->Wired connection to Laptop: 900 to 950mbps To isolate the problem, compare these two scenarios:ĬenturyLink PPPoE Feed ->. This functionality was just released with the latest firmware update (see ). In my setup, I have a PPPoE feed from CenturyLink, and I updated the firmware such that the Eero can now take a feed using PPPoE instead of the usual DHCP. I have 1 gig 2-way fiber service from CenturyLink. When my input comes straight from the ISP into Eero, my Eero Pro 6 slows down the wired connections coming out of it, aside from anything it's doing with wireless. The response time of the wireless devices also became faster. I removed the ethernet cables from my non-gateway Eero and speed went up. The wired devices however are still getting approx. In fact, the delay also vanished and are very responsive. All my wireless devices are getting a speed of 300mbps (which is the max) and none of my other hubs disappears. After a while it just becomes non responsive. I also noticed there's a slight delay when opening sites.Įventually I removed the ethernet cables from all my Eero nodes except the gateway. After a reset my Ikea accessory are accessible for a limited time. I removed all my Eero's and tested 300mbps so there's definitely something going on with the Eero's.īesides the drop in speed I also had problems with wired hubs (Philips Hue and Ikea Tradfrir) disappearing and becoming not accessible. While testing both wired and wireless was struggling at 80mbps. All my Eero nodes are connected by ethernet. The first thing I noticed is the speed with wired as well as wireless devices was well below my max speed (300mbps). I've been playing around with my triple Eero Pro 6 setup. You can try and put the eero into the upstream routers DMZ or see if you can bridge the upstream router.ģ) Are you using the ethernet that came with the eero? Can you please answer the questions below?ġ) Have you tested the speeds with a device connected to the modem?Ģ) Do you know if your eero is in a double NAT? If so, it is possible that the upstream router is limiting the speeds you are able to pull through the eero. Also review the placement article below to make sure that your eeros are placed optimally.Īfter we verify that the eeros are placed correctly and placement is not the cause we can start further testing. ![]() ![]() Make sure that if you are running multiple eeros that they are at least 35-45ft away from each other. But this requires optimal setup with minimal interference. The eero 6 Pro can push up to 1 gig speeds over WiFi.
