The eero itself looks nice, however be careful of the Arris cable modem they offer. I don't know if all Arris modems are like this, but my current ISP uses an Arris based cable modem containing a Puma 6 chipset, which has a very annoying high latency bug [2] that more than a year later is still unfixed in the production firmware [1]. At first I thought my WiFi signal was bad, but if I ping the router on wired LAN several times a minute you get >50ms latency spikes. Using any kind of bufferbloat management behind the router is hopeless with the wired connection being this bad, even in modem mode. I should probably switch to a different ISP...
