Has anybody any experience of the eero router?

I signed up with Fibrus today due to their very low prices ATM. I have a FTTC connection but it's garbage due to the house wiring so need another. I knew Fibrus use the eero router but I made the mistake of researching it only after I'd signed up. I still can't quite believe that eero would mandate that their router not only cannot be managed from your computer, but cannot be managed locally.

That's 99% of the utility of a router logon. If there's a connectivity issue you can use your local router connection to diagnose and possibly fix the issue. With the eero, you can't. Instead, you have a device sitting in the same room that in order to access you have to have a phone, an app, a working internet connection and an Amazon account (it says you can use your own credentials but after an hour of trying, I can say that didn't work for me at all).

So does anyone have experience of these eeros, especially what happens when things go wrong, or you buy a new smartphone.

Anecdotally from the TalkTalk forums if you have only one the WiFi coverage can be pants but they work well as a mesh when you have a few.

Is there a question?

You can set the eero to use ANY other fallback source for the Internet (eg mobile phone hotspot) when there's no connection. Works great.

Eeros work great IME I have 2.

Their mobile app works great but yes you need a mobile phone. You're on the Internet and can post here but don't own a mobile phone?

I find it highly unlikley most people could fix connection issues by logging into their non-eero router.

If you have a question and can explain what the problem is I'm sure people will try to help.
