Have used it, once or twice. In a vet clinic. Wasn't anything good or bad, middle of the road. Do they still exist? I don't know any specifics to work with it, though.
We have a customer using it now and want to hide one of the networks.
I haven't done any digging on it yet -

I haven't done any digging on it yetIn theory should be quite simple. I think those are supposed to be very easy to manage.

I use them at home, I ditched my Ubiquiti and the Eero Pro have been rock solid.

Do you know how to hide a SSID ?

@WrCombs You cannot hide your SSIDs on Eero. You also have a limit of your Main SSID and Guest Network. It is geared for Home and really small environments.

It's consumer shit - why would you ever want to hide your WIFI network - that's a business need.

Why Eero over Ubiquiti? Business versus consumer. Does the pro version have APs with wired connections?

My sister and brother-in-law put Eero in they're 7000+ sq ft house. They like it because it was easy to setup and they don't have to mess with it. I prefer Ubiquiti enterprise gear myself (the consumer stuff is, well, consumer crud)

They are consumers - I expect nothing less. If the top most bandwidth isn't needed in the far reaches of the home, then this likely works just fine for them.

it's not even a business need. It does nothing at all for anything since it's trivial to find hidden SSIDs.

Why Eero over Ubiquiti? Business versus consumer. Does the pro version have APs with wired connections?
Prob because management is much easier. I ditched my APs and edgerouter for a single Amplifi which I can update and control from my phone. My mom has a Deco setup and it works very similarly and is great as well.

OH - yeah, for home - I'm totally on board wiht Amplifi, even though they are an arm and a leg! (all of those mesh systems are)

No good that they put home equipment into a business? Yeah, not so good.

Why do they care about hiding their SSID? Just put a password on it and the problem is solved.
And if the restaurant doesn't want to provide WIFI to their customers - them make the SSID something that's not obviously theirs, and when people ask - what's the WIFI - "sorry we don't have wifi"

Easier if you do it yourself. But if you have a support company, I think the Unifi is easier. The Eeros always made for a lot of extra work when we had to deal with them.
