I like Eero for a lot of applications, but it's definitely not the highest performance option out there. For those wondering, you can connect multiple Eero pro units to Ethernet to create a multi-wap network that uses an ethernet backbone instead of wireless.
But that being said, I did recently go to a project where the homeowner had installed Eero himself. He had 2 Pros and one Beacon (all current generation) to cover a 1500sq ft house and 750 sq ft detached office. He had a gigabit WAN connection but only observed about 30mbps in the detached office, and up to 300 right at the Pro serving as the main router. He didn't realize this until much later after the initial install because the Eero app will tell you internet speeds which he was referencing, but that obviously does not reflect WiFi speeds.
I get the possibility of only 30mbps in the detached office. But, the only 300mbps at the pro serving as the main router sounds really odd. I'm assuming this 300 was wifi and not hardwired. The Beacons only pull 350mbps max and I never use them on installs. Pro's only. Wondering if when testing you weren't really connected to the beacon vs the Pro acting as the router. The Pro should provide WiFi speeds up to 1Gbps depending on the Wifi in the devices. I did have an issue once with a Windows PC that was getting much slower speed tests hardwired to the Eero. That issue was with the firewall settings of the PC itself with firewall settings that were set to public vs private network.
