@_ALlamas depends on your needs. Wi-Fi 6 doesn’t do much for you if you don’t have gigabit or close to it internet at home — PolitiTweet.org

@overlywhelmed @backlon it seems like Amazon is leaning into lower latency on response times more than privacy. it will still send your voice commands to the cloud, even if they are processed locally. more deets in my Echo Show 10 piece: https://t.co/DMBwFaDGji — PolitiTweet.org

@tjdonegan correct, this means i can go with just two eero 6 pro (one at the modem, one in my office) and everything else can just use my existing eero 5 stuff because wi-fi 6 speeds to devices really don’t matter (they matter for speeds between nodes) — PolitiTweet.org

@Mobile_Dom @backlon it’s a partnership with MediaTek — PolitiTweet.org

@davezatz yeah i just got confirmation too. not sure how it works, but based on what i’ve been told it does! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@adamjustice got the answer, it’s good news https://t.co/4RntafSlfJ — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

to my knowledge, this makes Eero the only mesh platform with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 interoperability. You can’t mix Wi-Fi 6 Orbi with Wi-Fi 5 Orbi, for example. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

I have an answer: Yes, you can mix and match Wi-Fi 6 eero with prior generations. If you have a mixed network and connect to a Wi-Fi 6 Eero node, you will get Wi-Fi 6 speeds. If you connect to a Wi-fi 5 node on that network, you will get Wi-Fi 5 speeds. — PolitiTweet.org

@adamjustice i’d expect nothing less! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@adamjustice and yes, if you’re not paying for gigabit or near gigabit internet, Wi-Fi 6 won’t do much for you over a good Wi-Fi 5 router. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@adamjustice yah the iPhone 11 generation added WiFi 6, the new ones will def have it too. but WiFi 6 doesn’t help connection to the device as much as it helps the backhaul connection between nodes. explored it a bit in my review of another router earlier this year: https://t.co/qctEjzeEfd — PolitiTweet.org

@adamjustice might have to wait until i can test them, but i’m in the same boat! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@tjdonegan welll….. about $700 for three of them 😭 — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@murphmar no mention, but existing Eeros do support it, yes (there isn’t much you can with HomeKit on a router tbh) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

my biggest q: will the Eero 6 devices be interoperable with the older Wi-Fi 5-based Eeros? No Wi-Fi 6 mesh on the market is capable of this to my knowledge — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

Amazon provided basically *no* details on the new Eero 6 routers other than they support Wi-Fi 6, so I’m very eager to test these out: https://t.co/U2GBMGIq8A — PolitiTweet.org

buried in this wild ride of wild hardware is the news that Ring is going to let you disable the controversial Neighbors feed from the app, as well as enable End 2 End Encryption on the video feeds: https://t.co/ij8Cq0ezRP — PolitiTweet.org

everybody in the processor game now! (though this is more akin to Microsoft’s partnership with Qualcomm for the Surface Pro X chip than say, Apple’s chip line) — PolitiTweet.org

it also has the Echo Studio’s automatic sound tuning capability (but no 3D audio), two side firing tweeters, and a bigger woofer. $249, arriving by the end of this year — PolitiTweet.org

there’s A Lot that Amazon is doing here — including the ability to automatically swivel and turn to face you, it is powered by a brand new processor Amazon co-developed with MediaTek specifically designed to process voice commands locally. — PolitiTweet.org
