Theres no upgradequite like a new Wi-Fi router, especially when its packing the latest wireless tech.

However, when you combine that with even faster internet, your home web connection becomes almost unrecognizable.

Eeros previous mesh routers like theeero Pro 6eonly had two Ethernet ports.

Just like with previous eeros though, it still uses a USB-C port for power.

It also lets you know if theyre positioned close enough but not too far from your main router.

Likewise, you might not even be able to get one depending on where you live.

Xfinity didnt, so I took a chance and called up my local fiber provider instead.

Essentially, it works like a cable modem but for fiber internet.

All that extra bandwidth meant that my devices didnt have to fight for their share.

This way, you’re able to bring your mesh internet and Wi-Fi 7 outside.

And who knows, I might even take a few video calls for work outside.

The unit on the other end would also need a multi-gig Ethernet port but these are becoming more common.
