I wish this wasn't a sponsored video because I think there's more natural options for AirPort replacements than the Asus products shown. eero for example "feels" much more like AirPort - simple, inoffensive designs that can fit in to a house's decor with simple app-based setup that you're not supposed to need to touch again afterwards at a much lower price than Asus' offerings.

ASUS has products similar to eero with a more sedate design. The zen series comes in a range of shapes and isn’t tied to amazon.

Yeah I have an eero 6 pro 3 pack with HomeKit secure router. As much as I like eero, just having to log in with my Amazon account irks me to no end. And it tries to sell you on echo and Alexa stuff at every screen during set up.

What bothers me is that even if you buy (own) echo devices, it still puts that crap in your face all the time. Same for the Ring app. Crappy nuisance atop otherwise decent software
