Five new ways eero is improving wifi for all
02 Oct 2024
At eero, we’re here to make the technology in your customers' homes just work, and that means continuing to deliver fast and reliable connectivity solutions. This article summarizes five new products and features we are announcing today that help improve everyone’s wifi:
Round out wifi with eero Built-in.
As the number of connected devices in customers’ homes continues to grow, we keep looking for new ways to make our homes smarter and more reliable. Last year, we launched eero Built-in with Ring Alarm Pro; this year, we’re bringing eero to Echo devices. With eero Built-in, we’ve added eero mesh wifi technology, including our patented TrueMesh, directly into the latest generation of Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, making them the first Amazon Echo devices to serve as mesh wifi extenders. eero Built-in enabled Echo devices can add up to 1,000 square feet of coverage to an existing eero network and support speeds up to 100 Mbps—so users can easily add music, Alexa, and now wifi to their favorite room. We’re bringing eero Built-in to the all-new 5th Gen Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, as well as the 4th Gen Echo, on Oct. 20. In the coming months, we’ll also bring eero Built-in to the 4th Gen Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock through an over-the-air update.
We’ve got your back(up).
Internet outages are frustrating when they happen and are even more disruptive as we continue to work, learn, watch, and play games from home. That’s why we’re introducing eero Internet Backup, which lets customers wirelessly connect their eero network to a backup internet source, like a mobile phone hotspot. They can choose up to eight mobile hotspots or wifi networks as a backup for their home network. Should their internet go down, it’s easy to temporarily switch their eero network over to a backup connection—so their connected devices stay online. With eero Internet Backup, they can keep enjoying HD video streaming, video conferencing, music streaming, or online gaming with a capable hotspot during an internet outage. And when the outage is over, eero Internet Backup will automatically switch their eero network back to their original connection.
eero Internet Backup will be available in the coming months to eero subscription customers.
