      @WrCombs You cannot hide your SSIDs on Eero. You also have a limit of your Main SSID and Guest Network. It is geared for Home and really small environments.

          It's consumer shit - why would you ever want to hide your WIFI network - that's a business need.

            Why Eero over Ubiquiti? Business versus consumer. Does the pro version have APs with wired connections?

                  My sister and brother-in-law put Eero in they're 7000+ sq ft house. They like it because it was easy to setup and they don't have to mess with it. I prefer Ubiquiti enterprise gear myself (the consumer stuff is, well, consumer crud)

                    They are consumers - I expect nothing less. If the top most bandwidth isn't needed in the far reaches of the home, then this likely works just fine for them.

                      it's not even a business need. It does nothing at all for anything since it's trivial to find hidden SSIDs.

                        Prob because management is much easier. I ditched my APs and edgerouter for a single Amplifi which I can update and control from my phone. My mom has a Deco setup and it works very similarly and is great as well.

                            OH - yeah, for home - I'm totally on board wiht Amplifi, even though they are an arm and a leg! (all of those mesh systems are)

                                  And if the restaurant doesn't want to provide WIFI to their customers - them make the SSID something that's not obviously theirs, and when people ask - what's the WIFI - "sorry we don't have wifi"

                                    Easier if you do it yourself. But if you have a support company, I think the Unifi is easier. The Eeros always made for a lot of extra work when we had to deal with them.

                                      it's a long story - short version is they created a new SSID want to hide the old one.

                                        @WrCombs You cannot hide your SSIDs on Eero. You also have a limit of your Main SSID and Guest Network. It is geared for Home and really small environments.

                                        https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/214588166-Why-can-t-I-hide-my-network-SSID-with-eero-

                                        Why Eero over Ubiquiti? Business versus consumer. Does the pro version have APs with wired connections?

                                        Prob because management is much easier. I ditched my APs and edgerouter for a single Amplifi which I can update and control from my phone. My mom has a Deco setup and it works very similarly and is great as well.

                                        Easier if you do it yourself. But if you have a support company, I think the Unifi is easier. The Eeros always made for a lot of extra work when we had to deal with them.

                                        At a former job, we had an Amplifi system that caused ~8 hours of un-needed billable time. If it would have been a UniFi system, we could have fixed it without the site visits.
