Eero’s family of Wi-Fi mesh routers are getting two new Wi-Fi 6 models.

On Thursday, Amazon unveiled the Eero 6 and Eero 6 Pro routers, which are designed to cover your entire home with fast Wi-Fi coverage. Both models can support connections to more than 75 devices simultaneously. 

Pre-orders start today. The Eero 6, which goes for $129 as a single device, is designed for homes with up to a 500Mbps internet connection. It acts as a dual-band Wi-Fi router, with two Ethernet ports capable of covering 1,500 square feet. The same router doubles as a Zigbee smart home hub, enabling you to control all your IoT devices in the surrounding vicinity.

For larger homes, an Eero 6 two-pack is $199, which adds an Eero 6 Wi-Fi extender for 3,000 square feet of coverage. A three-pack will cost you $279 and includes a second Wi-Fi extender for 6,000 square feet of coverage. 

For homes with a faster internet connection, Amazon is introducing the Eero 6 Pro, which can support 1Gbps Wi-Fi speeds. The $229 product is a tri-band router, with two Ethernet ports. The device also doubles as Zigbee smart home hub and can cover up to 2,000 square feet.

For $399, you can get the two-pack edition, which comes with an extra router for up to 3,500 square feet of coverage. The three-pack edition will go for $599 and adds a third router, bumping up the coverage to 6,000 square feet. 

“The Eero 6 series is the fastest Eero series yet, giving our customers the speed and reliability of Wi-Fi 6 at an affordable price,” said Eero CEO Nick Weaver. If you're an existing customer, the new models are also backwards-compatible with older Eero devices.

Eero promises easy setup. Just hook one up to your home’s internet router, and you can complete the rest of the installation process with a downloadable app. They'll work best for consumers already on board Amazon’s smart home ecosystem, which is powered by the Alexa voice assistant. (Amazon acquired Eero last year.)

"With the Eero skill for Alexa, customers can use an Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app to manage features with their voice using commands like, 'Alexa, turn on the guest network,' Amazon said in today's announcement.

According to Eero, the new models are poised to ship on Nov. 2. More information about the products can be found on Eero's website. Stay tuned for our review.

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
