Hi, ever since I upgraded to eero pro 6 I have had problems with streaming with constant buffering. I didn't have this problem with my old router on fibre 65 apart from when it became faulty and kept cutting out turning the internet off completely but no streaming issues. I am suppose to be on 500 MPBS but the streaming service is far worse than when I was on 65 MBPS. Is there a way to fix this? There seems to be an issue with the eero pro 6? TalkTalk say they have upgraded the firmware but the issue persists. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. It seems to be connected to 2.4 GHz. The download speed is showing as 516 Mbps / Upload 71 Mbps updated at 4.43 am. I understand, I guess I just wasn't expecting this as didn't have these type of streaming/interference issues with the previous router, although did have other issues but was hoping for an improved service with the upgrade. Yes please could you send me the guide. Thank you very much.

Hi @Butterfly17
Which WiFi band on the Pro 6 is the device connected to? In the eero app, if you tap on the Internet on the Home screen, what speeds does it show at the bottom?
Slow speed, intermittent dropouts, breaks in the signal or no signal on some or all devices or no internet access might be caused by Wi-Fi interference from other local networks, which can also lead to a permanent reduction in speed. No ISP can be responsible for your local environment, this is mainly a byproduct of the popularity of Wi-Fi.
Generally speaking, the 2.4GHz band suffers a lot more from interference than the much faster 5GHz band, but the 2.4GHz one can sometimes have a better range, but this all depends on your local area.
In other words, I try to help you optimise your Wi-Fi connection. The next stage involves sending out a guide to you to help you get me some important diagnostic results so that I can analyse them for you and recommend changes to your router configuration to solve them.
I only send this out to people who request it.
Whilst the eero is supposed to manage Wi-Fi interference, if this is very bad, particularly in the 2.4GHz band, then it cannot do anything about it, no router can. The same goes for any router at that point. Other things that may then need to be investigated are its location within your property and the WiFi bands that you use. It is possible that you may also need to purchase additional eero nodes as it is supposed to operate as part of a mesh system. I can help with any of this. However, I would suggest that you follow my help to find out what the root cause of the problem is, before throwing money at it.
