5.0 out of 5 stars Great Home security system

I already had a mesh network created with 4 Eero Routers, working fine without any connectivity issues.I purchased this to add an additional router to improve connectivity on some of the smart devices outside home too, along with replacing my existing alarm system.The setup was pretty seamless, but right after I added this as the gateway router to my network, I started getting connectivity issues with my network. Every minute or so, the network keep disconnecting from my phones and other devices, and then it reconnect immediately after that. You wouldn't notice it usually, but if you are on a video call you can see the video freezes for sometime and then resumes. This keeps on happening every minute or so, making it unusable. I removed the Alarm pro from my eero mesh network and brought back the original 4 router mesh network I had, and then it started working good again. So it is definitely something with this Eero Built-in router. The issue happens even if I have my devices connected to one of the other nodes, so something is killing the entire network for sure.I spent hours with the Ring customer support to figure out the problem, and they were not able to fix the issue either.The security system seems to be working fine, but without having the network built-in, you wont get backup internet option, which means you are not getting what you are paying for the annual monitoring fee. I would instead go with a Simiplisafe system or if you really want to stick with Ring, go with the model without a built-in router.I hope Eero/Ring can find out the issue with this and send a software update for the same issue.Note: Resetting the entire system, adding and removing the routers back, or even creating separate network, none of that helps.Update. I tried powering off my original network equipment, and created a new network with the Ring Alarm Pro, with no other devices added. With this also I Can see the phone connected to this network keeps disconnecting every minute (even when standing right next to it with the phone.).Update Feb 2023:- Thank you for the Customer service and engineers at Eero. They took the feedback from this and now with the Software updates applied, the above disconnect issue is all gone. The network functions seamlessly. And with the newer updates you no longer need to have The Ring Alarm Pro's unit as the gateway unit. This helps when you upgrade your Eeros to the newer / faster versions. You would always want the fastest version to be connected to the modem. In case of an internet outage from the modem, the entire network automatically switches to LTE from the Ring Alarm Pro unit.

We finally bit the bullet and retired our 30 year old wired alarm system. The big boys wanted way too much money to provide a system that would integrate with our smart home features. When our old Smoke/CO detectors were finally reaching end of life we switched. We highly recommend the new Ring-compatible WiFi wired and interconnected smoke/CO detectors (most recently only available through Home Depot). The old Z-Wave connected detectors are quite frankly stupid and dangerous in that they are not interconnected. The whole point is to wake everybody up and get them out - the new detectors do that and were the deciding factor to the switch to the ring alarm. Installation was very easy as long as you followed instructions. Ring has also now modified their alarms so that they can sit behind an Eero router instead of having to be the primary router - a big plus since we have Max 7 Eero routers and the Ring Alarm only has a 6 or 6+ router at slower speeds. We mounted the alarm in place of our old alarm and ran power to the Ring keypads via our old alarm keypad wiring. This makes they keypads easier to see at night and eliminates the need to recharge every so often. Nice to have - but not a problem if you are not blessed with existing hardwire. We like the cellular backup on the plus version for security and have our Ring controller plugged into a UPS rather than using the Ring backup batteries. Ring's central station monitoring is second to none. We tripped the alarm a couple of times accidentally during installation and had calls in under a minute. Make sure if you have smoke and CO detectors that fire monitoring (most expensive plan, of course) is included. The Ring Alarm integrates with Alexa and locking/unlocking our Z-Wave door locks automatically turns the alarm on/off. We couldn't be happier.
