Same. Bought the 3-pack eero 5 ("cupcake") last year. One on each floor of my ~2000 sq foot house and it's been rock solid. Not a single reboot needed. The app is really good too; it's fun to see which devices are on the network.

Eero is great. Check old threads for lots of info. One thing to keep in mind is that the eero 6 3-pack is actually two extenders that lack any Ethernet ports.

The old eero 5 3-pack is actually three identical node with Ethernet ports which allows for Ethernet back hauling and/or Wireless bridging to other Ethernet devices.

I bring this up because any prospective mesh shoppers should weigh the benefits of wifi 6 and eero 6 vs the loss of these Ethernet ports. One could also buy 3x eero 6 nodes too but at additional cost ($143x3).

Same price at Staples. But you can use one of the coupon codes to get some additional discount.

I got mine last year as well.
So far it's been a rock solid system. I think I turned it off once or twice to refresh the network.
Excellent signal and software Interface.
I'd definitely recommend 100%.

Mmm...this or the Eero Pro+2 Beacons combo? Decisions decisions....

Literally just got the combo last week from this thread:

Same price as TP-Link WiFi 6 Mesh WiFi AX1800

Can you create separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks with these?

Are the three devices the same or are 2 of them beacons?
Also does it support wired backhaul?

No

They're all the same. There's "ethernet" backhaul. Not 100% sure, you might want to read the specs.

Two of them are beacons without Ethernet ports

Therefore does not support wired back haul

Amazon did cheap out on those eero 6

Not true for eero 6

I wanted eero pro + 2 beacons at the staples price

Depends if you will use Ethernet ports on eero 5 beacons.... and if you will wire them up

It's cheaper at Memory Express if you find one in stock near you. $230.

If you're asking about the TP-Link one you quoted, yes they do support wired backhaul. The eero 6 does not.

Read a bit more and it seems Eero 6 is dual band, only pro is tri-band so I guess I'll be keeping the pros since I don't have Ethernet cables running inside the house....

I believe timbertick was asking about TP-LINK, not Eero 6. Go back and read it.

That's a hot deal, but OOS everywhere near me.

How are the parental controls on Eero?

You can create profile and schedule to pause Internet access for devices assigned to that profile. This is easy to setup and available to all. For content filtering like website block, you need to get the subscription service called Eero Secure.
