Amazon Adds Wi-Fi 6 Support on the Eero 6 Mesh Routers

 

Last year Amazon took over the mesh networking startup named Eero and released a new affordable version of its mesh router later. Now Amazon has come up with two new Eero mesh routers namely: the Eero 6 and Eero Pro 6. You can see from the name itself that both of the new devices will have Wi-Fi 6 support on them. Note that Wi-Fi 6 is the latest and fastest version of Wi-Fi.

The price for a three-piece is $279, and the dual-band system is $30, which is a bit more than the previous version of Eero. A two-pack system of Eero 6 is available at a price of $199, while if you go for a single Eero 6 router, you will have to spend $129.



The two-pack Eero 6 system is probably the best starting point for many users. You can also add additional extenders in order to expand your Eero mesh whenever desired, at $89 each.

If you are willing to spend a bit more for the faster triband Eero system alongside a 5GHz additional band to get improved performance, you can go for the Eero Pro 6. The three-pack Eero Pro 6 comes at a price of $599. If you want the two-pack selling, you can get it for $399, and in case you want a single Eero Pro 6 router, it will cost you $229.

The Eero mesh routers have successfully maintained a good track record of their ease of use and their reliability as they offer multiple devices that are designed to obtain stronger, and more reliable Wi-Fi signals. The Wi-Fi 6 addition on the Eero 6 mesh allows the devices to take over the advantage of several new features like 1024QAM and OFDM. These features make the Wi-Fi faster and more efficient for the situations where a vast number of devices try to connect to a particular setup simultaneously.

The Eero 6 system is built specifically for the homes having the internet speed of up to 500Mbps. This is probably an upgrade compared to the last year’s Eero, which had a lesser speed. But this speed is a little slow for a Wi-Fi 6 standard. It seems like Amazon and Eero are more interested in positioning these router systems as a Wi-Fi 6 value pick. But still, the 500Mbps is not up to mark speed for a setup which has Wi-Fi 6. There are other high-powered mesh routers supporting Wi-Fi 6, with speed more than 500Mbps. They are no doubt the Asus ZenWiFi AX and the Netgear Orbi AX6000. The two-pack setup of those cost $450 and $700, respectively. However, the Eero Pro 6 is said to be designed for gigabit connections.

Eero provides regular and automatic security updates for all the Eero devices. These updates keep the home networks secure. Eero has promised to keep that approach in continuation with the upcoming routers too, and if you want advanced privacy and parental control features, you can opt for the Eero Secure subscription at a basic cost of $2.99 for a month. And for a total cost of $9.99 per month, you get Malwarebytes malware protection, 1Password password management, and Encrypt.me VPN access in the Eero Secure Plus subscription.

The routers can connect with smart home appliances like smart lights and smart locks, with the help of built-in Zigbee radios. They will also work with Alexa, letting you pair the routers with an Echo speaker. The one issue here is that the Eero devices don’t come with built-in speakers or microphones, like Nest Wifi by Google. Amazon has tried to keep Eero’s image a more privacy-minded solution to Nest. Also, the new Eero mesh doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6E.

However, the new Eero systems are available for preorder on Amazon and later will be available at all the major retail outlets. Eero has also planned to provide the routers through homebuilders, custom installers, and the participating internet service providers.
