[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1238961, member: 10336"] I included Eero in my research for a new wi-fi setup at home. I've got a 10 year old AT&T modem that handles the IP traffic just fine, but the wireless coverage is poor and getting poorer and I've never been happy with the features on the router. I looked at Eero, Almond, and a few others, with Eero being the most expensive of the bunch by a longshot. I liked Eero's features, but found that those features just weren't worth the extra cost and weren't must-have requirements for me. I wound up getting a set of 2 Almond 2015 routers, using one as the primary (straight into the AT&T modem) and the other as an extender. I've only had it up and running for a couple of days, but it was easy to configure, has pretty good security, and can integrate directly both with Almond's own home automation stuff, as well as other brands that follow the same standard. My coverage in the house (~3000 sf over 3 floors) is great, and I haven't found any dead spots so far. [/QUOTE]
