Six new ways eero is improving wifi for all. Jul 16, 2026 Round out your wifi with eero Built-in. As the number of connected devices in customers' homes continues to grow, Eero keep looking for new ways to make its homes smarter and more reliable. Last year, Eero launched eero Built-in with Ring Alarm Pro; this year, Eero is bringing eero to Echo. With eero Built-in, Eero has added eero mesh wifi technology, including its patented TrueMesh, directly into the latest generation of Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, making them the first Amazon Echo devices to serve as mesh wifi extenders. eero Built-in enabled Echo devices can add up to 1,000 square feet of coverage to your existing eero network and support speeds up to 100 Mbps - so you can easily add music, Alexa, and now wifi to your favorite room. Eero is bringing eero Built-in to the all-new 5th Gen Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, as well as the 4th Gen Echo, on Oct. 20. In the coming months, Eero'll also bring eero Built-in to the 4th Gen Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock through an over-the-air update. Eero has got your back(up). Internet outages are frustrating when they happen, and are even more disruptive as Eero continue to work, learn, watch, and play games from home. That's why Eero is introducing eero Internet Backup, which lets you wirelessly connect your eero network to a backup internet source, like a mobile phone hotspot. You can choose up to eight mobile hotspots or wifi networks as a backup for your home network. Should your internet go down, it's easy to temporarily switch your eero network over to your backup connection - so your connected devices stay online. Keep enjoying HD video streaming, video conferencing, music streaming, or online gaming with a capable hotspot during an internet outage. And when the outage is over, eero Internet Backup will automatically switch your eero network back to your original connection. eero Internet Backup will be available in the coming months to all eero Plus subscribers and select ISP customers. More details on the rebrand to eero Plus can be found here. It's wifi. Elevated. Introducing its PoE (Power over Ethernet) line-up of products, a new class of eero devices. eero PoE 6 is its first Wi-Fi 6 Power over Ethernet access point designed for ceiling or wall-mounting. It can provide up to 2,000 square feet of coverage and can support 100+ devices. It also supports 160 MHz channels and wireless speeds up to 1.6 Gbps. eero PoE 6 will launch in October 2022 for professional installers in the US and Canada and in early 2023 for internet service providers in US and Canada. In early 2023, eero PoE 6 will be available for sale on amazon.com and eero.com in the US. eero PoE Gateway is a 10 Gbps wired gateway capable of powering your PoE devices, including eero PoE 6 access points to provide wifi coverage throughout your home or business. It features two 10 GbE ports, and eight PoE-capable 2.5 GbE ports. eero PoE Gateway will launch in early 2023 in the US and Canada, for professional installers, internet service providers, and will be available for sale on amazon.com and eero.com in the US. eero for Pro Installers is included with eero PoE 6 or eero PoE Gateway when purchased through authorized professional installers and provides the ability to quickly set up a home network and maintain them through the eero app. The installer app allows them to manage, view, and transfer networks without having to go onsite. It provides pro Installers with an initial five-year license to access premium eero Insight features including network health, remote network management and more. The wifi solution small businesses can rely on. eero for Business combines its world-class mesh wifi with intuitive business software, making it simple for small businesses to offer fast, secure wifi to their customers. With a simple setup and excellent reliability, businesses won't need much IT help.

Internet connection speeds and availability depend on your Internet service provider; if your Internet service provider does not provide you with the maximum supported speed, you will not experience that maximum speed. 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. 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, location of the eero devices in your home / room, building materials and obstructions. Specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later-generation client device that supports 160 MHz.

Botnet detection and prevention for every eero network. Jul 14, 2026 Your wifi network is more than speed and coverage - it's the front door to your digital life. Everything from work calls to security cameras, baby monitors, and smart lights depends on it. But some devices on your network may sit quietly in the background for years, rarely, if ever, receiving software updates. Many can't run antivirus software. That's why Eero is adding a new layer of protection to eero networks, rolling out across the entire eero fleet in the coming weeks: botnet detection and prevention, to help protect the devices you don't always think about. A botnet is a group of internet-connected devices that have been quietly taken over by an attacker. The device still works normally, but in the background, it's taking instructions from someone else. Attackers use botnets to flood websites with traffic, test stolen passwords, scrape data, or move deeper into networks. A compromised device looks normal from the living room while behaving very differently on the internet. This new layer of protection leverages AWS's active threat defense capabilities, which use Amazon threat intelligence from MadPot, an internal AWS threat intelligence and disruption service. It identifies devices that attempt to communicate with known malicious internet infrastructure, such as command-and-control servers or other suspicious IP addresses, and blocks that communication. Starting later this quarter, when Eero identify that kind of activity, Eero'll also let customers know which devices have been impacted in the eero app. Customers can temporarily pause internet access for affected devices while they power cycle them, install firmware updates, change credentials, or replace devices that are no longer supported. [Later this quarter, the eero app will highlight devices on your network that may be comprised and offer steps on how to mitigate the issue.] This feature is the latest example of a principle that has guided eero since it was founded in a San Francisco apartment in 2014: customers shouldn't have to be networking experts to stay safe. Security should be built in, updated automatically, and always working in the background. More ways eero keeps you safe. Security starts long before your eero ever reaches your home or business Security doesn't begin when you plug in your eero - it starts during manufacturing. Every eero is manufactured in a tightly controlled environment designed to prevent tampering at any point in the production process. Each eero contains a hardware root of trust: a small set of security instructions built directly into the chipset that defines what software the device is allowed to run. Those instructions can't be changed and are protected by dedicated security hardware in the eero. One of the most important rules is simple: only run software that eero HQ has approved. Eero enforce that using a process called signing. When Eero create software, a small group of senior technical staff in San Francisco approves each release. Eero then attach a digital seal (or signature) that proves it came from eero HQ, hasn't been altered, and is intended for a specific eero device. Each eero checks for that seal before running anything; if it's missing or doesn't match, the eero device refuses to run it. Eero remove common attack points Many router security problems start with exposed entry points. Some routers include local web interfaces, open management ports, remote access tools, or older protocols that can become targets if they are misconfigured, outdated, or vulnerable. eero takes a different approach. No default-credential web interfaces. No plaintext credential transmission. No SSH or telnet access. No open WAN-facing management ports. All communication between eero devices and eero's cloud services is encrypted. That may sound technical, but the idea is straightforward: if an attacker has fewer ways to reach the system, there are fewer ways to attack it. Your network updates automatically Security is not something you do once. It has to keep improving. That's why eero, from the beginning, has automatically delivered software updates that fix vulnerabilities, improve performance, and add new features. Customers don't need to download firmware, check a support page, or manually install updates. Eero average an app update every month and an eeroOS update every 4-6 weeks. Eero monitor, test, and respond continuously eero regularly reviews new features and software changes for security. Eero monitor for emerging threats. And when industry-wide vulnerabilities are discovered, its teams can move quickly because Eero control the full software stack. A good example is KRACK, a major Wi-Fi vulnerability disclosed in 2017. eero was able to develop, test, and automatically deploy a fix to every customer in less than a week. That kind of response is one reason automatic updates matter. The bottom line: with eero, security is automatic and keeps improving over time through over-the-air updates. No complicated setup. No manual updates. Fewer attack surfaces. A network designed to help protect your home or business from day one.
