How does eero compare with rivals? In wi-fi routers, the main alternatives include the TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 Mesh Wi-Fi System (most homes, $149–$199), the TP-Link Archer AX55 AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router (apartments and small homes, $69–$99) and the NETGEAR Orbi 970 Series Quad-Band (gigabit-plus homes with huge budgets, $1,299–$1,799).

Before you add a eero product to your cart, compare the model number with the one we cover, because older or regional versions can look similar. Choose a listing sold by Amazon or eero directly, and register the warranty once it arrives.
Mesh beats a single router in homes over about 2,000 sq ft or with several floors. Wi-Fi 6 is plenty for most plans; Wi-Fi 7 helps only with multi-gig internet and new devices. Ethernet ports on each node help connect TVs, consoles and PCs.
If you have dead zones or a multistory home, yes. In an apartment, one good router is usually enough. Not for most homes yet. It only helps with multi-gig internet plans and newer phones and laptops that support it.
Mesh systems are discounted on Prime Day and Black Friday. If you rent a router from your internet provider for $10 to $15 a month, buying your own often pays for itself within a year.
Across the wi-fi routers we cover, typical prices run from $69 to $1,799. Prices on Amazon.com change often, so treat these as typical ranges and check the current price before you buy.
