Hi everyone, I'm considering leaving Sky to switch to EE on their Full Fibre Gigabit Essentials 900 plan. I
want to buy some Eros (Eero Pro 6E) to set up a home network but I find it really confusing to understand if EE would support this and not limit the Eero mesh system, and or make it so hard to combine.
I think this would really help anyone looking to switch. Thanks in advance

Very simple to set up.
Worth noting though if you are moving to EE as a new customer with 900mbps FTTP. Then you would be getting the new EE Smarthub plus rather than the older Smarthub

My network is eero pro 6E (2 units) and it is very simple to set up on the eero app. (One of them is my router, i'm not on EE)

I have a similar query. I currently use the Eero Pro 6E with a Virgin router in modem only mode. All the Eeros are connected by Ethernet for a gigabit wired backhaul with a switch between the gateway and everything else. I’m thinking of moving to EE, mainly as I can benefit from a 1.6Gb connection.
I’m wondering how best to set this up as although the gateway Eero could use the 2.5Gb port, if I keep the wired backhaul I’d be limiting myself to 1Gb as the ‘output’ port is limited to gigabit to the other Eeros.
- Should I move to a wireless backhaul?
- Would it make sense to stick to a 900Mb connection with EE?
- Could I use the EE router in some clever way to work around this? Or use PPPoE to the Eero in a similar way?
Any help/thoughts on this would be appreciated.
