Amazon Prime Day kicks off on July 8, but it looks like some of the company’s best products are already on sale. If you’ve been planning to improve your home network situation with a powerful mesh system that provides great coverage and throughput, you might want to check out this tantalizing deal on the Amazon Eero Pro 6E mesh router.
Amazon’s Eero Pro 6E mesh router is currently down to just $160, matching its all-time low price. That gets you a single node. Should you need more coverage, the multi-packs are also matching their lowest prices. You can grab the two-pack for $260 and three-pack for just $350. Meanwhile, the four-pack nodes, which can cover up to 8,000 square feet of space, can be had for $510.
The Amazon Eero Pro 6E is one of the best mesh Wi-Fi 6E routers on the market, offering multi-gig throughput, easy set up, and support for all the latest Wi-Fi 6 features. The single node offers coverage of up to 2,000 square feet for up to 100 devices, which can be further scaled by adding additional mesh routers to cover even more space. It’s a tri-band router with support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands and can deliver max network speeds of 2.3Gbps—up to 1Gbps wired and up to 1.6Gbps wireless. Being a Wi-Fi 6E system, it also supports features like Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), MU-MIMO, beamforming, WPA3 encryption, and 160MHz channels for faster, more efficient connectivity.
On the inside, the Eero Pro 6E has a 1GHz dual-core processor, paired with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. On the back, you’ll find a USB-C port along with two auto-sensing Ethernet ports—one 2.5GbE port and one 1GbE port. The Eero also has a built-in Zigbee radio and can act as a hub for your smart home devices. Moreover, if you’ve an Echo smart speaker, it can act as a Wi-Fi extender, delivering up to 100 Mbps throughput across 1,000 square feet for up to 10 devices.
Like other Eero systems, you don't get parental control or malware protection. For this, you’ll need to subscribe to Eero Secure (starting at $2.99/month), which, in addition to the above features, also provides access to ad blocking, content filtering, a VPN, Malwarebytes protection, and password management tools.
