I have two Eero Pro 6s. The network works very well in crowded Brooklyn, with great speed and no interference issues. Overall I love the product.

Sharing in case you've got HomePods, but one caveat about the simplicity is that their client steering feature / setting bundles both the band switching and station switching behaviors. I have 6 original HomePods and they can't handle the band switching at all — they will constantly drop out and fail to AirPlay. The issue is not unique to Eero, but unfortunately with client steering off I'm stuck toggling wifi when I move through my apartment on my laptop or phone.

The issue with the HomePods is certainly an Apple bug (reported to them several times in great detail after hours of debugging) but naturally they don't care to support their $350 "hobby".

Just throwing an idea out there, I wonder what would happen if you forced the HomePods to connect under 2.4ghz — would that reduce the issue?

FWIW, I have a pair of HomePods and haven’t noticed any issue with them dropping off the network, when enabling band steering.
