eero mesh WiFi system

Hello all, I know this has been addressed before but I couldn’t find it for some reason. I was wondering everyone’s thoughts on the eero mesh network ? My modem is on the other side of my listening room where the couch is. I would have to run cable and figure out the best way to hide it so my wife won’t get on me if I don’t go this route. Seems the be the best/easiest way overall. I will be running Bricasti M3 with Roon Nucleus. Thank you.

Quick question, which eero would you guys get ? I was in a store today and they seemed lost on what I was asking. I have a Roon Nucleus, Bricasti M3 DAC and I will be using an iPad to run Roon, although I’m not sure which iPad yet. Thanks again

Just get a 2 node mesh, its worth it.  One node as the base the other at your rig hard wired to the Nucleus.  Everyone I know including me has negative experience with extenders.

@shtr74sims mesh. And use Vodka from it to hardwire your M3.

keep nucleus by router, not by dac. You will have one gateway EERO so use good ethernet cable from that gateway into Nucleus. By good I mean good, not necessarily very expensive. Like a solid cat8 from amazon.

@audphile1 I have 2 Vodka Ethernet cables I was going to use. I was thinking of putting the nucleus on the rack with the dac and running both in the eero ? If I do what you’re suggesting my nucleus would be behind the couch. Haha. I wanna get the best sound I can get out of everything.
