So what makes this product different to say buying a router and a wireless extender? Is the idea that their app helps you set up the product effectively and automatically diagnose the network?

Edit: looks like the mesh is only btwn routers, not your other devices as well

@the_jozen_one Hi Julian, Nick Weaver, eero CEO here. With range extenders you typically have two major problems: slow speeds and multiple network names. With eero, we have two radios so your network is fast and reliable. And because we have a true mesh network you have one single WiFI network name that blankets every corner of your home.

@nsweaves Awesome. I was dealing with this problem just a few weeks ago. I couldn't find anything on the market that could solve my problem effectively and most things were garbage. Best of luck.

@nsweaves Hi Nick, where can I find specs on the actual radios in use within the hardware? Are they 3x3:3 MIMO? I couldn't find specifics on your site and was just curious. I deploy this type of tech all the time in the enterprise so I wanted to see how things compare from a radio perspective.

@that1guyspencer We use 2 x 2 MIMO radios, as the fast majority of clients are 2 x 2 (if anything).

@nsweaves Awesome. I think it's a great idea to bring enterprise-class capabilities to the consumer, especially if it is simple and straight forward. You mention mesh. Are there any algorithms similar to products in the enterprise that help control sticky clients and roaming? Are there any load balancing capabilities that force clients to connect to differen… See more

@that1guyspencer Those are precisely the features we're starting to push down into a consumer product. The big change is we're using our networks at home very differently than we have before. We have HD video streaming everywhere and so many devices connecting that most homes need something MUCH better than what's currently available in the consumer market.

@nsweaves I agree! Super cool spin on wireless technology. I wouldn't be surprised if you eventually see customers deploying this in smb environments, especially if the product includes firewall features for securing the perimeter. Best of luck!
