Achieving Multi-Gigabit Speeds Across 6,072 Square Feet in Natick, MA
An existing client in Natick had an ISP speed upgrade to 2.4 Gbps, but legacy equipment capped performance well under a gigabit. Merrimack Valley Wi-Fi Pros re-used the existing wiring topology to deploy an eero Pro 7 system with a 2.5 Gbps switch backbone. The upgrade delivered gigabit-plus wireless speeds across all three floors in one day — with no new wires.
The Challenge
The client originally called us years ago when “nobody could understand why our WiFi kept dropping sporadically.” While our initial design stabilized the network, a recent internet upgrade to Xfinity 2.4 Gigabit highlighted a new bottleneck. Their existing hardware left them with “slow and spotty Wi-Fi” relative to the incoming connection, leaving speed capped well under 1 Gbps across the 6,072 sq ft residence.
Our Approach
We follow a simple rule: “Design for the home, not the box.” Because we had previously established a solid physical topology, we re-used that design with current-generation hardware. We installed eero Pro 7 nodes on a 2.5 Gbps switch backbone using existing lines. Technicians Juwan and Jacob “took considerable time to make sure all rooms and outside were getting optimal coverage and signals,” unlocking access to the 6 GHz band across all three floors.
The Results
| Location | Before Upgrade (eero Pro 6 / 1 Gbps) | After Upgrade (eero Pro 7 / 2.5 Gbps) |
| Direct to Router | 881 Mbps | 2,420 Mbps |
| Basement (Play room) | 362 Mbps | 1,012 Mbps |
| 1st Floor (Family Room) | 419 Mbps | 1,186 Mbps |
| 1st Floor (Kitchen) | 255 Mbps | 1,026 Mbps |
| 2nd Floor (Master Bedroom) | 448 Mbps | 1,399 Mbps |
| 2nd Floor (Gym) | 416 Mbps | 1,038 Mbps |

Outcome
The upgraded network achieved “seamless, reliable, gig Wi-Fi everywhere.” Wi-Fi speeds exceeded 1,000 Mbps in primary living areas and outdoor spaces in one day — with no new wires. The client concluded: “We would recommend Merrimack Valley Wi-Fi Pros for all your networking needs, hands down!”
