Waffling between eero and orbi.  reading positive on both.  wifi experts- have you used both? pros/cons?

Unless you are a power user, which I am not, you can't go wrong with either.  Google wi-fi gets great reviews too.

I have the Orbi system and I love it.

Crikey!  I am seeing many different model numbers. Any insight?

edit: never mind.  i am seeing the differences.

old house.  connection issues.  better streaming.  higher utilization of speed purchased.

I have Google WiFi. Bought a 3 pack then a fourth. Have one in basement, kids room upstairs (reason we got it initially) and one on main floor. Then put one in pool shed because I was losing it in the very back of the yard while cutting grass. I can now drive about 1/4 mile away and still pull WiFi. Good stuff.

Love my Google Mesh WiFi, as well as the easy ability to control devices and schedule certain devices to turn on/off while leaving others on from anywhere in the world (kids/school/restriction/etc).  Set up easy and has been awesome since.

Kids wake up for summer.  WiFi off.  Conversation while I'm at work about chores being done.  Yes, Yes, Yes, Not Yet, Call Back, Yes ok I'll turn on Wifi.  It's awesome.

I was looking into these because my power line adapters (use electrical wires like Ethernet cables) have been acting up. I’ve had them for a long time, many years and upgraded my router (Linksys EA9500). It’s been a phenomenal router and has top speeds better than Orbi and Google, etc. I found Amazon has range extenders from Linksys that work with this router to make that seamless WiFi (like Mesh). Just wanted to give folks a heads up that may already have a good router that there may be cheaper options to mimic mesh. Amazon has the extenders for $55 a piece on sale, so for $110 I will get the same as the 3 piece top of the line Orbi. I have no idea what options are there for other routers although Orbi is Netgear.
