        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

            In theory should be quite simple. I think those are supposed to be very easy to manage.

                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?

                          you ask these question as if I have an answer.

                              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.

                                    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.
