Our Verdict
eero Pro 6E
UniFi Dream Router
The eero Pro 6E is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system and the UniFi Dream Router is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router. The eero has better range and speed performance, but the UniFi has a much more robust feature set, wired connectivity, and advanced configuration options. The eero is the better choice if you want a 'set it and forget it' mesh system, whereas the UniFi offers greater flexibility if you have more advanced networking needs.
