Tech Friday: AltaFiber updated our home Internet router
Posted By RichC on August 16, 2024
It is about time that our questionable Cincinnati Bell router is being updated by the aquiring company AltaFiber to an Eero device (similar to at the condo). It will hopefully improve and keep our home Internet connections 
a bit more stable. I’ve really never complained much since adding the Mesh system to the “cheap” Zytel in 2019 … but can tell by the number of hardware restarts on our TVs that something wasn’t right. A little complaining after yet another price increase has at least resulted in a new Eero Pro 6E router.
Since it doesn’t make sense to continue with our older “cheaper” mesh router system, I’m replacing the 4 clustered pod with a single Eero Extender and used the existing Echo Hub in the exercise room in the center of our basement (it was in my office).
So far, so good as these three access point gives me about the same coverage as before … but with more stability (fingers crossed).
