Eero

Eero is a sleek-looking Wi-Fi mesh system that installs in minutes, is easy to manage, and delivers good overall throughput performance.

The 4.75-inch square router looks like it's fresh off the Apple assembly line, with a high-gloss, white-plastic surface on top and a matte finish around the edge and rounded corners. The box measures 1.34 inches high, has a small LED indicator light at the front, and is stamped with the sleek Eero logo on top.

Unlike traditional routers that are large and have several external antennas, the flat profile of Eero easily blends in wherever you place it.

Each Eero has a connector for the included power adapter, two Ethernet jacks, and a USB 2.0 port. The USB 2.0 port is currently used for diagnostics only.

The very simple mobile app lets you test your network speed, and shows you how many devices are connected to the network, along with their IP addresses.

Eero supports port forwarding, and you can easily create a guest network and share it from the Eero app via text message, email, or social-networking sites.
