Amazon Eero launches Eero Pro 6E and Eero 6+ Wi-Fi systems
Amazon's Eero Pro 6E is Eero's 'most advanced' router, and both new Eero routers can double as smart home hubs.


The Eero Pro 6E system is the company's “most advanced Wi-Fi system ever,” the company says. It’s also its first Wi-Fi 6E-enabled system — meaning it can tap into more portions of the wireless spectrum that the FCC had previously closed off for Wi-Fi 6 systems. The tri-band connection — which includes the 6-gigahertz band and the 2.4- and 5-gigahertz bands — can handle more than 100 devices at once, Eero says. And it can do so at speeds as fast as 2.3-gigabit-per-second speed, according to the company, broken down into 1 gigabit per second for wired devices and 1.3 gigabits per second for wireless devices. It also works with Alexa as a smart home hub for compatible Thread and Zigbee devices.
Eero says this Wi-Fi 6 system is their most affordable system supporting gigabit speed, and the dual band connection — 2.4- and 5-gigahertz bands — can support 75+ devices on its connection. Like the Eero Pro 6E, it can be used as a smart home hub with certain Thread and Zigbee devices.
If you’re interested in Wi-Fi 6E but less so in Amazon’s Eero, other Wi-Fi brands we’ve recommended, like Netgear, offer Wi-Fi 6E routers right now: Netgear’s Tri-Band Nighthawk WiFi 6E Router has earned a 4.1-star average rating from more than 5,000 reviewers on Amazon.
