Product Quality Issues, Lip Service Product Support, Don't Buy
Size: 1 router + 2 extenders, Configuration: without eero Plus
I wanted to activate Amazon Key Delivery to my garage but my ASUS WiFi router signal was a bit weak to the MyQ sensor, so I ordered the Eero router to remedy the problem. I was happy to see that a stronger signal now reaches the MyQ sensor. But soon I noticed various problems with my devices connected (both E/N and wireless) to the new router, problems I did not have with the ASUS router. Video streaming would sometimes drop out, freeze or pixelate with both E/N and WiFi connections, and it happens to both video streaming from the Internet (YouTube, Amazon Video, Disney+) and local network streaming of Xfinity cable card decoded TV channels. The problem is very intermittent and unpredictable. Audio streaming (Amazon Music Unlimited) would sometimes disconnect after a station has been running for a few hours. My first suspicion was that some component or device in my setup has gone bad, but the problems were happening across different devices. WiFi signal strength was "good" to "excellent" to the problem devices, and video breakups were occurring concurrently on two different devices while watching the same show. I spent over two months trying to isolate the problem. My home setup is a bit unusual and that made debugging the problem more complicated. Besides the usual devices such as computer, laptop, tablet, and phone, I also have the MyQ garage door opener, fire TV stick, Android TV box, Nvidia Shield and a cable card tuner/decoder that takes Xfinity cable transmission and decodes the encrypted stream into a regular video stream that all my TV's at home can watch without paying extra for Comcast set top boxes and extenders. Some are connected by E/N, others are WiFi connected. However I'm the only user of the network so at most 3 devices would be active at any one time, hardly a load on an Internet bandwidth of 80+ Mbps on Xfinity cable. So signal quality and bandwidth were eliminated as problems. I replaced E/N cables, reset all the devices, changed the location of the Eero extenders, replaced HDMI cables, switched the E/N devices to WiFi, and numerous experiments to find a common thread. None of the components seem to be the cause of the problem. Finally I had to conclude that the problem is in the Eero router.
I finally called Eero product support on the phone. First level support clearly does not know enough to help. He couldn't even understand my hardware configuration, even tried to tell me that I could connect my component to the Eero E/N port the way I did because he doesn't know how E/N works. I finally insisted on talking to level 2 support. After much stalling, level 2 finally came on the phone. He insisted that the problem is either with Comcast or with one of my non-Eero components. When he found out that I have an E/N switch in my configuration (had to because this Eero router only has one port available after the other port is used to connect to the cable modem), he blamed the E/N switch as being not compatible with the Eero. I doubted his assessment but I went along with getting a recommendation from him for a compatible E/N switch. Turns out that I'm already using a TP-Link E/N switch that he recommends. I asked him to send me another Eero unit to try out in case I received a defective unit but he refuses, saying that he can't just take my word for it that the unit maybe bad. He needs definite proof and that I need to log occurrences of the video streaming problem with specific date, time and problem so he can check into an Eero log to help me fix the problem. After over 4 hours on the phone with Eero support, I decided to go along with their recommendation.
To simplify problem isolation, I decided to narrow down my connectivity configuration to the minimal, in the process I removed the E/N switch, deleted the cable card decoder, and stream all contents through the Internet. Now all I have is Xfinity Internet through a cable modem connected by E/N to the Eero gateway then E/N to a LG smart TV watching YouTube TV. The problems persisted. After watching a few days of TV and logging down the date, time and problem, I wrote a lengthy email to Eero product support, asking them to look into the log and determine the problem. After not hearing back for more than a week, I finally made one other configuration change: replaced the Eero with the original Asus router. Guess what, I don't have those problems anymore. It has been a few weeks since I switched back and I'm still running trouble free. I left Amazon Music Unlimited running for over 40 straight hours and it never disconnected. I'm not having any video drop out issues anymore, and UHD movie streaming on Amazon Video no longer drops down to SD quality occasionally as it did with Eero.
It's clear to me that Eero product support pays lip service to working with their customers, but once they realize that the problem is with their product, they disappear and ignore you. The impression I got is that they have all been taught to blame something else and when it's clear that the problem is in their product, they will ignore you and hope that you will go away.
Either that I received a defective unit or that the product has design problems. I suspect it's the latter by the way the support team refuses to take responsibility for their problems even when it's conclusively proven to them. My recommendation is that people should not buy from a company that doesn't back their product. I sent my email to them on Jan 24, 2021, and as of today, Feb 18, I have not received so much as an acknowledgement.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience.
The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion.
It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient.
I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed.
This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should.
Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.

“ incredibly convenient”
Reload type: One Time Reload
I recently used the Amazon.com Gift Card Balance Reload option, and I’m thoroughly satisfied with the process and the overall experience. Here’s my detailed review:
Convenience
The Gift Card Balance Reload feature is incredibly convenient for anyone who shops frequently on Amazon. It allows me to add funds directly to my Amazon account without having to go through the process of entering credit card information every time I make a purchase. This is perfect for those who prefer to manage their shopping budget by preloading funds to their account. It saves me time and makes the checkout process smoother.
Ease of Use
Reloading my gift card balance was quick and easy. All I had to do was go to my Amazon account, select the “Reload Your Balance” option, and choose the amount I wanted to add. The process is simple and user-friendly, with clear instructions. You can choose to set it as a one-time reload or opt for an automatic reload at regular intervals, which is an excellent feature for those who want to stay on top of their shopping without worrying about running out of funds.
Reloading Options
One of the best aspects of this feature is the flexibility in reloading amounts. I can reload any amount I choose, whether it’s a small amount to cover a single purchase or a larger amount for future shopping. There’s also the option to set up an auto-reload, so my balance is automatically replenished when it drops below a certain threshold. This is particularly helpful for frequent Amazon shoppers, as it ensures there’s always enough funds available without having to manually reload every time.
Processing Time
Reloading my balance was instantaneous, and I was able to make purchases immediately after adding funds. The money is applied to my Amazon account almost immediately, so there’s no waiting around for it to process. This makes it ideal for urgent purchases or spontaneous shopping.
Security
The Gift Card Balance Reload option is secure, and I have peace of mind knowing that my payment information is kept safe through Amazon’s encrypted systems. I don’t have to worry about storing credit card information for each transaction, and the reload process is secure and straightforward. I also appreciate that I get an email confirmation every time my balance is reloaded, providing an extra layer of security and transparency.
Value for Money
The Gift Card Balance Reload is a great option for managing your Amazon shopping budget. It doesn’t come with any additional fees or hidden costs, and I get exactly what I pay for. Plus, I can take advantage of any promotions or bonuses Amazon may offer for gift card reloads (e.g., occasional bonus offers or discounts). The ability to add funds as needed without being locked into a set amount of money is very useful and cost-effective.
Overall Impression
I’m highly satisfied with the Amazon.com Gift Card Balance Reload service. It’s a fast, easy, and secure way to manage your shopping budget and ensure that you never run out of funds on Amazon. The process is simple, and I love the flexibility in choosing how much to reload, as well as the option for automatic reloading. For anyone who frequently shops on Amazon or wants to manage their spending more effectively, this is a great tool to have.
I will definitely continue using this feature to make my Amazon purchases even more efficient and hassle-free.

Select Gift Cards: On the drop-down menu, tap Gift Cards (first option).
Choose Your Action: "The Gift Card Shop" will appear. There you will have three options: "Redeem a gift card," "View your balance," and "Reload."
Start Reload: To add funds, tap Reload.
Select Type: Scroll down to "Add funds directly to your Amazon Gift Card balance" and tap which reload type you want (one-time, low balance auto-reload, or scheduled auto-reload).
Enter Amount: Choose your reload amount. The default is $25, but you can type in your own amount as well (the minimum amount is $5.00).
Finish: Tap the orange "Buy Now" tab.

Easy way to add balance

Reloading my Amazon gift card balance has been easy and convenient. I like using it when I want to keep a little money set aside for Amazon orders or make checkout quicker without thinking about which card I want to use. The process is straightforward, the balance shows up fast, and it has been reliable every time I have used it. It is also helpful for budgeting because I can add a set amount and then use that balance for regular purchases. Nothing complicated about it, which is exactly why I like it.
