Then after say 3 months of that consistency, the auto speed test would show say 5 days out of the week with speeds close, the the other two days would show much slower speeds, say around 150down/135up. In the first few months of having the Eero, the automatic speed test in the Eero app would show speeds very close (sometimes slightly greater) than the speed I am paying for. I typically have 30+ devices connected wirelessly, nothing is ever connected via a wired connection. I have my Eero base directly connected to the ONT via Ethernet, nothing in between. My ISP is Cincinnati Bell FiOptics with fiber to the home, 500down/200up. I have an Eero 2nd Gen setup with one base and two Beacons. This has been a source of frustration for me also. I like the beauty, simplicity, stability and support that eero seems to provide. Orbi has just announced new hardware that supports WiFi 6 but I don't want to go back. Hopefully the new hardware will support WiFi 6 and have a more robust radio backhaul. I'm looking forward to Eero introducing new hardware that will be able to keep up with gigabit internet wirelessly without the need for a wired backhaul.
Charter wifi speed test movie#
I'd be in the middle of watching a movie and it would suddenly drop the connection. The worst offender was my AppleTV running a Plex client.
My devices would constantly drop connection. I know firsthand because I just switched from Orbi to Eero because of the shoddy firmware / connection issues.
Charter wifi speed test update#
The only wireless mesh system that I know of that will be able to wirelessly transmit anything close to your internet speed would be the Orbi but they are known to have connection issues and are very slow to update their firmware to fix the issues. Wired speeds from Eero will give you the gigabit speeds that you're paying for. Eero is fantastic for internet speeds of 200 Mbps or below for wireless transmission speeds.

If it matters, this is the one I've purchased: eero - Pro Mesh WiFi System (3 eeros), 2nd Generation - White I've also tried messing with all of the network setting for the eero router as well and nothing seems to push 800+ mbps like the spectrum router, under the same conditions, same computer I'm testing on etc. Eero is now also having the same issue, its only getting 400+ mbps when the charter one is still doing 800+. I then figured it was just a setting with their router so I got rid of that and went with eero. I spent an hour with their support trying every setting change possible, SSID, steering, etc etc. I started with Amplifi which worked, but had lots of dropping issues and the router would only ever get 300+ mbps right next to the router, where as the spectrum one was still getting 800+. However, I soon realized that the router was not working in different corners of the house due to being too far from the router, so that brought me to upgrading to a new router with mesh points. Next to the router they gave me, I was getting 800+ mbps consistently. I recently moved to a new home and got setup with charter spectrum 1 gigabit internet.
