I'm on the complete opposite side of that. Linksys Velop home system 3 pack is $499 regularly and wth the Alexa prime day sale I got it for $349. Linksys Velop Tri-band Whole Home WiFi Mesh System, 3-Pack (coverage up to 6000 sq. ft), Works with Amazon Alexa https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2NLNEH/
Now it's back to $499 and it's been like that since the product came out. I saved a fortune.
Thanks for replying. To be more specific, here is what I see on amazon:
I'm sure there are more in the pipeline.
Orbi is only a 2 pk for $379, so that is not competitive, and has that horrible Netgear UI, so Eero has that beat hands down. I guess Linksys can afford to be so uncompetitive since they have a broad base of products. I've rebooted a Linksys router enough times to not want to trust them at any price point.
Eero 3 pk is currently $454. Even with that discount from $499 MSRP, I'm not sure how well that competes with much of the above.
I do appreciate the company support input here and on the community page on the website, so that is worth something. If you are using Netgear components, thank God you aren't using their UI. Still, I am very concerned about these eeros turning into very expensive bricks if the company cannot sell these at a competitive price point and goes south. Will they still work if there is no cloud?
Most people will buy a Honda over a Lexus due to price, and luxury manufacturers have to sell to a different segment by differentiating themselves with perhaps better performance, service, or emotional appeal in a clear manner, where luxury buyers understand why they are paying more. I'm not sure how buyers will make such a connection between price and quality when the reviews are all generally comparable. There are a lot of reviews where people try one product and find another performs satisfactorily, so I can't see a consensus opinion that the Eero outperforms everyone else. Personally, I would like to have a better idea why these components are superior to the competition, but for the sake of the company, it probably needs to do a better job explaining that to the masses if they are going to use a luxury pricing model. Or is it just over-engineered for the task at hand? After all, we will all be looking to replace these in a few short years in the face of newer, better WiFi protocols. I don't need a 20 year router, but if you told me this better build quality results in fewer reboots than the cheaper competition, that would be worth something too.
