About Amazon eero Max 7 tri-band mesh wifi router
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
79% praised the intuitive app, but 21% struggled
I found the eero Max 7 interface and application to be intuitive and user-friendly, making setting up the second eero Max 7 easy.
I faced an issue connecting to the app, but after uninstalling and reinstalling it, it connected quickly.
Through the app, I can turn on other Amazon connected devices like the Amazon DOT as small repeaters.
The eero app has a paywall for anything I want to do and is very limited in terms of customization. There is no other way to use the app.
85% praised the coverage area, but 15% found dead spots
My home is seamlessly blanketed by the mesh network of eero Max 7, eliminating any dead spots and ensuring a consistent signal strength across all corners.
I bought two units to cover my house and yard, which is around 7000 sq ft.
I compared it with Eero Pro 6 and found it better. Although I expect perfection from it. I am thinking of getting a fourth satellite, but my house is only 3000 sq ft and the pack of 3 covers up to 7500 sq ft, so theoretically, 3 should be more than enough.
76% liked the customizable settings, yet 24% found them limited
I did not mention anything about customization settings of the whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-systems.
The eero app has limited customization options and I had to use it as there was no other way. I also wanted to do something but it invoked the eero Plus paywall.
'Legacy Mode' turns off WiFi 6 and leaves the network only broadcasting WiFi 2.4 and WiFi 5.
97% found it easy to set up
The setup process of my eero Max 7 Mesh Network system is straightforward and easy to follow. The first device was set up in less than 10 minutes and I continued to connect eero Max 7 satellites. Now, my eero Max 7 Mesh Network has a total of six devices.
75% liked the ability to support many devices, but 25% didn't
My 14 device wireless SONOS system is connected to the wireless LAN and works flawlessly without any drops.
I was unable to determine if the router could handle more devices with less lag than my previous router because the 7 does not support Apple Homekit. This resulted in over 30 of my devices not being able to connect to the network.
We noticed that the system struggled to handle more than 70 connected devices.
88% appreciated the performance
I am experiencing faster speeds with the eero Max 7 compared to my previous router and the coverage is outstanding.
70% were impressed with the security features, although 30% weren't
I no longer have to worry about my work video calls dropping like they did before, the eero MAX 7 has improved the security features of the whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system.
I have read reviews about the lack of eero desktop access and some complaints about additional network controls not being available. However, for most users, the eero Max 7 works right out of the box.
I faced issues while adding new sensors to my Ring Home Alarm system, installing new Amazon smart plugs or Lutron Caseta switches, or adding more Powerview shades.
