Amazon Eero 6 Pro

If you’re thinking of making an investment and can wait, my recommendation would be to do just that. Wi-Fi 6E, which is the next step in the Wi-Fi technology chain, is expected to arrive in the near future and bring more significant speed and capacity increases. None of today’s routers (or devices) support it yet. But if you are in need of a mesh router right now, you might want to look at options other than the Eero Pro 6.

But if you’re looking for a simple Wi-Fi solution that does everything for you — not necessarily out of the goodness of the heart — this Pro 6 is the “best” eero yet. And it’s likely will improve overtime via firmware updates. Before pulling the trigger, though, maybe check out one of these top Wi-Fi 6 routers first.

With strong performance and no unpleasant surprises during my tests, the Eero Pro 6 fits the bill as an upgrade pick, thanks to the triband design and its full support for Wi-Fi 6. It's expensive at $229 for a single router or $599 for a three-pack -- but those prices are lower than you'll pay for comparable systems like the Netgear Orbi AX6000 and the Asus ZenWiFi AX. The Eero Pro 6 held its own with routers like those throughout our tests, and it doesn't feel like much of a compromise compared with any of them, all of which combined give ample justification to its Editors' Choice selection.

Assuming you can justify the high price, the Eero Pro 6 is an incredible mesh Wi-Fi system that I have almost no reservations about recommending. The setup process is incredibly simple, the mobile app works well, and the tri-band connectivity means every corner of my home is covered in super-fast internet. Wi-Fi 6 support is also great to have, but unless you upgrade your devices regularly, you likely won't get much use out of it for another few years.

Amazon's Eero Pro 6 is a tri-band mesh Wi-Fi system that provides relatively good wireless coverage and doubles as a home automation hub. It’s easy to set up and manage, but included features are scarce.
