The eero 7 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router built for fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. It combines Wi-Fi 7 across the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands with two 2.5 GbE ports, mesh expansion, and built-in smart home support for Zigbee, Thread, and Matter. It’s a good fit if you’re replacing your ISP router’s Wi-Fi, upgrading an older mesh system, or adding coverage to rooms where your current network struggles. It supports internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps and more than 120 connected devices. If you instead need the 6 GHz band, 320 MHz channels, or more capacity for heavy simultaneous use, consider eero Pro 7. Its two 5 GbE ports support internet plans up to 5 Gbps, while the eero 7’s 2.5 GbE ports limit the speed of the wired connection from your modem or gateway. For internet plans above 5 Gbps, consider eero Max 7. Features Dual-band Wi-Fi 7: Wi-Fi 7 across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, rated BE5000 with up to 1.8 Gbps wireless throughput. Multi-Link Operation: Allows compatible Wi-Fi 7 devices to use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same time, reducing latency and helping maintain performance when one band becomes congested. Two 2.5 GbE ports: One port connects the eero to your modem, ONT, or internet gateway. The remaining port provides a fast wired connection for a computer, console, NAS, switch, or another eero. The ports are auto-sensing, so either physical port can be used for the internet connection. Coverage for up to 2,000 sq ft: Each unit covers up to 2,000 sq ft, depending on placement, layout, and building materials. You can add more units if you need to extend coverage. Support for 120+ devices: Built to keep more than 120 phones, laptops, smart home devices, cameras, and other connected devices online. Built-in smart home support: Acts as a Matter controller and a Thread border router, so you can set up and run Matter devices without a separate hub. Also works with Zigbee devices through Alexa. Core features without a subscription: WPA3 encryption, automatic software updates, guest Wi-Fi, device profiles, device pausing, and speed tests are included with the hardware. App-based management: Setup and network management run through the eero app on iOS or Android. A free eero account is required, with no web-based admin interface. Optional eero Plus subscription:Adds ad blocking, content filtering, app blocking, advanced security, VPN, antivirus, and activity history. Subscription pricing and sign-up are available through the eero app. Supports eero Business: Add business-focused features such as multiple SSIDs, a captive portal, a separate IoT network, Hotspot Backup, and centralized network management through an eero Business subscription. Compatibility and Setup Internet Service Works with any internet service that provides an Ethernet connection, including cable, fiber, DSL, fixed wireless, cellular modems, and 4G or 5G home internet gateways. It’s also compatible with eero Built-in on select Amazon Echo devices. App and Account Setup and management require the eero app on iOS, Android, or the Amazon Appstore and a free eero account. There’s no web-based admin interface. Modem or Gateway Required eero 7 replaces your router, not the modem, ONT, or cellular gateway that provides your internet connection. The gateway eero connects to that equipment over Ethernet. If your ISP supplied a combined modem and router, eero recommends putting that equipment into bridge mode. For 4G or 5G home internet gateways that don’t offer bridge mode, you may need to use IP passthrough or accept a double NAT setup, depending on the gateway. Older eero Units eero 7 works with previous eero generations. Mixing generations can reduce performance across the network, so using the same generation throughout gives the best results. Smart Home Support eero Pro 7 acts as a Matter controller and Thread border router, with Zigbee support through Alexa. It doesn’t function as a bridge that converts Zigbee devices into Matter devices. Power and Placement Each unit uses the included 15W USB-C power adapter and is designed for indoor use only. If you need Ethernet data and power over one cable, consider eero PoE 7 instead. Need Help Choosing?Not sure which eero model or pack size is right for your home? Reach out to our team.
