Eero PoE 6

Advantages

• ✓Provides high‑capacity wired backbone with 10 GbE and multiple PoE+ ports for powering several APs.
• ✓Supports up to 9.4 Gbps wired throughput, far exceeding the PoE 6’s 2.5 GbE uplink.

Disadvantages

• ✗Functions as a switch/router rather than a standalone AP, so it lacks built‑in Wi‑Fi coverage.
• ✗Larger form factor and requires a separate power supply, reducing installation flexibility.

Advantages

• ✓Delivers Wi‑Fi 7 tri‑band performance with up to 3.9 Gbps wireless speeds, surpassing the PoE 6’s 1.6 Gbps.
• ✓Designed for consumer plug‑and‑play use without PoE, simplifying setup for typical home environments.

Disadvantages

• ✗Lacks PoE power, requiring a wall outlet and limiting ceiling or wall mounting options.
• ✗Higher price point and no dedicated 2.5 GbE uplink, making it less suitable for wired backhaul scenarios.
