My understanding is Cake was used for the 1st and 2nd generation, but all the Wi-Fi 6 models of eero (6, 6+, Pro 6, Pro 6E) use fq_codel. It’s optional, off by default, and hidden under eero labs as a beta feature under the name “optimize for conferencing and gaming”

No idea what usage of that feature is like, but there’s a lot of chatter about it on r/eero, mostly positive. That subreddit is probably more technical than the average eero user though.

google wifi also has the same option, using fq_codel, almost as equally hidden. IMHO having it on by default would improve both products out of the box experience. UBNT now does it by default, at least.

Happy to have seen both cake and fq_codel stablize in mikrotik in the past month: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=179307
