Our Verdict
eero 6
UniFi Dream Router
The eero 6 and the UniFi Dream Router are Wi-Fi 6 routers. The eero is a consumer-grade product that's designed to be easy to use. Whereas, the UniFi is closer to an enterprise-grade product that offers incredibly in-depth configuration and compatibility with a wide ecosystem of networking products, including additional access points to create a mesh network. Both routers offer similar performance—the eero has a better range because we tested it in a mesh configuration with two access points.
