Does any one have one of these "Router wifi system with satellites "?

like this eero https://eero.com/shop/eero

The sales kid at best buy says these are better than the standard routers because the have "satellite" "data transfer thingies"

I run three Deco M5 mesh devices (1 plugs into your wifi router; the other 2 are plugged into power outlets away from the 1st one).

Yes they work. They extend your wifi coverage.

And mesh is better than "wifi extenders".

Wifi mesh runs data in both directions at the same time. Wifi extenders (which are cheaper) only run data in 1 direction at the time.

Also mesh devices can communicate with each other (hence the name "mesh"). Wifi extenders only communicate with the wifi router.

I turned my main wifi router off and run four eeros in my house. I don't know what the hell satellite the salesman is talking about, you take one and hook it up to your router and then plug others around the house, My wifi signal improved big time as I have a lot of things running off the wifi all the time. Eeros do work very well.
