Whether you’re working, learning or playing at home, eero gives you a connection that won’t slow you down while helping to keep your online experiences safe and secure.  

The eero 6+ has sixth generation standard of W-Fi technology, providing premium wifi performance and speeds up to a gigabit (if you have an internet plan capable of supporting this speed),¹ without the premium price tag. eero 6+ supports additional wifi bandwidth with access to the 160 MHz radio channel.

¹  Internet connection speeds and availability depend on the speed of the internet plan you have with More. If your internet plan does not provide you with the maximum supported speed achievable with your eero device, you will not experience that maximum speed. Maximum network speeds, if applicable, reflect combined supported speeds across wired and wireless clients. Maximum wireless signal rates are derived from IEEE 802.11 standard. Specifications assume wired Ethernet connection; your experienced speed may vary when connected to an eero device that is configured as a wireless extender. eero devices are only compatible for use with FTTC, FTTP, HFC and Fixed Wireless internet access technologies. Coverage estimates are based on normal use conditions. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions. Specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device. See https://eero.com/legal for more details regarding terms for eero products, software and services.
