- Mesh 1-pack
- SQM
At a glance
Derived from the published specs below, not from hands-on testing.
Good fit for
- Homes that need more than one access point
- Keeping latency low on a busy connection (Smart Queue Management)
Keep in mind
- Internet port tops out at 1 Gbps; plans above that will be capped
- The maker's own figure caps internet speed at 900 Mbps
- The maker's maximum Wi-Fi speed is 500 Mbps
- Needs the manufacturer's app and account to manage
- Paid add-ons: eero Plus (optional, $9.99/month or $99.99/year): advanced security, ad blocking, parental controls and more
- No 6 GHz band, so newer Wi-Fi 6E/7 devices can't use their fastest channels

"Not published" means the manufacturer doesn't document it; it doesn't mean the feature is missing. "Not checked yet" means we haven't looked for that figure yet. Coverage, device counts and throughput are the manufacturer's claims under the manufacturer's test conditions; RouterHaus hasn't measured them.
