I have just upgraded to Full Fibre 150 from FF 65 and installed new aero router. Can you please advise how I can connect new eero router to my existing AC1750 TP Link extender.

Hi @Kozakuzka @Frankb @Frankb @fr8ys @Topman26
WiFi extenders may well work with an eero so long as using a WPS connection is not the only way to connect to the eero's WiFi, as the Eero does not support WPS
What they will not do however, is to work as part of the mesh network. This means that they can degrade the performance of the mesh To get the best out of any mesh, extra mesh nodes of the same manufacturer should always be used. Therefore, to properly extend the coverage of an eero, use other identical models of eero or some other Amazon Echo products (with limitations).

Pleased it worked for you but I was going with perceived wisdom on other forums that extenders do not work with mesh systems.
Perceived wisdom is not to be taken as gospel in future.
Thank you.

Hi Fr8ys
I have just connected my TP Link extender RE450 AC1150 to my eero 6 router at 150Mbps. I contacted TP Link and they gave me instructions to reset my extender and then install as new. Has worked.

No-one can give you any assurances as every home is different and may have solid brick walls or electrical interference.
If you find your coverage is not good then staff and our resident router expert will be able to guide you on positioning etc. And in some circumstances a second Eero may be supplied to work as a mesh.
Also, if you have current generation Alexa's then these may also be able to be used as extenders. I gave 2 dots set up this way.
Hope this helps.

My interest is I am about to upgrade from Fibre 65 with extenders reaching my remote locations some 200 foot from my router, to fibre 150 with this aeero 6 router, (not even the latest version of the router, for which I am somewhat surprised). No one can assure me that it will provide a signal to my remote locations with just the basic kit talktalk supply which i think is just a router. No one has suggested or mentioned the need for extenders, as they all say the signal is so powerful it won't be a problem. So do you actually need them? I would be interested to know if you signal is powerful enough to work without extenders and over what distance

WiFi extenders are not compatible with Eero products, or other mesh systems.
