I am new to the concept and was enlightened by a more technical user.

The Signal to Noise Ratio. This is a measure of the quality of the signal strength between the product and router and is expressed in decibels. A higher value represents a stronger signal. As a general guideline, a SNR of 45 dB and above is considered excellent, while a SNR of 25 dB or below is considered weak.

How to you observe or manage SNR on new app?
Instructions please.

Thanks for the details @press250 ...I look at all deetz (above) when I set it up.
OK on “simpler is better”. I think AT&T gateway and Eero operate on different channels, regardless, your indication on only running one Wi-Fi system (radios off) is sound to my ears (pun?)

Yes it should match 🏡 lot size fine (lot’s of yard-horticultural work, where Move 2 is an ally).

Not sure if I will be initially able to add new Eero Pro 6E as an extension (as illogical as that may sound) for easy setup (mirroring) and later swap old base for new base ...maybe starting from the scratch creating the hotspot with new one connected to modem is better ha? Unfortunately for now I only bought one Eero Pro 6E as a base. I may buy others of the same model as savings allow ...switching Sonos savings fund to Eero for now ….priorities.

Eero Pro 6E

With eero Pro 6E, you can future proof your connectivity with wifi that powers the latest Wi-Fi 6E-enabled devices. Unlike some mesh wifi systems, eero Pro 6E does not dedicate the 6 GHz band to backhaul. So your Wi-Fi 6E devices can take direct advantage of the additional 6GHz bandwidth and experience less congestion. The eero Pro 6E provides up to 2,000 sq ft of coverage per device, and supports network speeds up to 2.3 Gbps (a gigabit wired and 1.3 Gbps wireless). The eero Pro 6E is compatible with all supported previous eero models and with two auto-sensing Ethernet ports, it can be used as the gateway of an eero mesh wifi system, or a wireless extender to expand your existing eero network. Combining eero Pro 6E devices with older generation eero devices on the same network may result in reduced performance across your network.You will also need to use a Wi-Fi 6 (or in Canada, Wi-Fi 6E) compatible connected device to enjoy the full benefits of the eero Pro 6E.

eero

eero is the little router with a big wireless footprint. This economical option still gives you the great speed and coverage across your home that you’re used to. eero offers up to 1500 sq ft of coverage per device and can be a great addition to expand an existing mesh wifi network. With the two auto-sensing Ethernet ports, it can also be used as the gateway of an eero mesh wifi system. One connects directly to the modem and the other port provides the option to hardwire devices like an Ethernet switch, printer, or video game console.

I will remain aware that if things start acting wonky the old Eero units (just like possibly the two Sonos Boosts if datapoints are not favorable) may have to go ...a voice whispers: planned obsolescence. Funny that this Sonos Community text menu lacks an EMOJI option for recycle, does it?

Advice appreciated.
