eero 7: Wi-Fi 7 Performance Without Breaking the Bank
The eero 7 is designed for everyday internet users who want to step up to the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard without a hefty price tag. This dual-band router supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, delivering wireless speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps. For wired connections, it features two 2.5 GbE ports, capable of speeds up to 2.3 Gbps.
With a compact design, it means it can easily blend into any home environment.
A single eero 7 unit provides coverage for areas up to 190 square metres, making it a great starting point for apartments or smaller homes. For larger spaces, a three-pack can cover up to 560 square metres. And as with all eero devices, you can easily expand your network by adding more units as needed.
eero Pro 7: Unleashing Next-Level Speed and Reliability
For those with more demanding internet needs, the eero Pro 7 steps up with premium performance. This tri-band system supports 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the faster 6 GHz bands, offering increased wireless spectrum to handle more devices and reduce network congestion, especially in areas with many neighbouring Wi-Fi networks.
The eero Pro 7 boasts impressive wireless speeds of up to 3.9 Gbps and wired speeds reaching 4.7 Gbps through its two 5 GbE ports – perfect for multi-gigabit internet plans and heavy data users.
The eero Pro 7 also features a clever fan-less design for silent operation and to minimise dust build-up. Similar to the eero 7, a single unit covers up to 190 square metres but can support up to 200 connected devices, while a three-pack extends coverage to 560 square metres and can handle over 600 devices.
Key Features and Benefits
Effortless Setup and Management
The eero app makes setting up your new router a breeze, taking just minutes. Managing your network is equally simple, allowing you to pause the internet, share Wi-Fi details with guests, and more. The app continues to receive updates, including a recent redesign for improved navigation.
eero’s Exclusive Technologies
eero’s patented TrueMesh technology intelligently routes data through the fastest path in your network.

Broad Compatibility
The new Wi-Fi 7 eero range is fully backward compatible with all previous eero generations. This makes it easy to expand your existing network or upgrade by simply swapping out your modem-connected eero with a new eero 7 or Pro 7, guided by the eero app.
Cutting-Edge Wi-Fi 7
Both eero 7 and Pro 7 leverage the advancements of Wi-Fi 7, offering increased throughput, greater capacity, and reduced latency. Features like Multi-Link Operation allow devices to connect across different bands simultaneously, while Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access enables more devices to communicate at the same time. 4K-QAM further enhances data transmission efficiency.
