Eero Router Review:-
Eero Router has a seamless setup process, blankets the entire house independent of the size of your house, provides a wifi speed ranging from 150 Mbps to over 1gbps, and also offers automatic security updates keeping your network safe. Overall the best go-to wifi router, ready to fulfill your network demands.
Easy Set up:-
Eero router is compatible with your existing internet service provider as well as your existing router. Set it up within minutes by merely downloading the eero router android or IOS app and connecting the router to your modem via ethernet. And done, now all you have to do is to decide where to place your eero devices for the best connection.
Mini Unobstructive Design:-
With the build of 3.9 inches square and 2.4 inches tall, eero devices are minuscule and therefore easy to hide. Each eero unit has two-gigabit ethernet ports on the rear, packed compactly allowing for it to have an overall small profile.
Wifi Coverage:-
Eero router’s mesh units working together can provide wifi coverage across 4950 square feet of house area. A single unit would cover approx 1500 square feet. Relying on a dynamic routing algorithm and real-time data eero devices work together harmoniously and leave no drop-offs or dead spots.
What Makes Eero different From A Range Extender:-
Traditional wifi range extenders increase the range of your wifi so that you can get a wifi signal even when you are not close enough to the router. However, they also can cut your wifi bandwidth in half resulting in a slower network connection. Also sometimes these extenders might broadcast an entirely separate network which means you have to constantly switch between two networks and experience changes in wifi performance. Eero router on the other hand links all your eero devices under a single SSID providing one with multiple access points. This lets the user freely move around without experiencing dead zones. You can add as many eero devices as you need to eliminate all the drop-offs.
Pricing:-
Eero router offers a reasonable and affordable price. The basic eero 1 pack providing 350 Mbps wifi speed costs 69$ whereas their most advanced and newest eero pro 6E 3 pack supporting up to 2.3 Gbps speed costs $699. It works with both wired and wireless products.
Despite all these good points, there are inevitably certain features of this router that might be problematic to some users.
Eero device due to its lack of speaker, microphone, and audio amplifier is unable to perform as a smart speaker falling behind its competitor Nest Wifi and Orbi Voice.
Only available in white color. While its minimalistic design does look sophisticated, some customers might be disappointed at the lack of any other color options.
Unlike a typical porter which offers around four ethernet ports, eero routers leave you short-changed with only two ports.
