no, like a chain you are only as fast as your slowest link unless of course you have a 10gb backchannel and 10gb switch, but even then Eero pro is only gonna give you 1Gb and only via the 2 ports on the unit
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What speed is your internet service provider (ISP) delivering? Usually that is the limiter in the equation. For example, if you have gigabit internet service from your ISP, that is as fast as you can get data in or out of your home, so 10 Gb e-net isn't going to help. If you are moving a lot of data inside your home via wired or wireless devices (networked storage devices being a good example), then you *may* see some throughput improvement for those devices. So the answer depends on several things, including how you are using your network inside the home, and the speed you are getting from your ISP.
