Amazon eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 extender | Expands existing eero network

Product Information

Setting up a guest network for when you have visitors is also a breeze, as is doing basic things like changing the network name and password. Some extenders are powerline adapters – these are clever devices which plug into your mains system at the router and elsewhere, transmitting the signal through the power lines. Plus, with eero Secure provided as standard with Three, you can rest even easier, knowing your home’s online security will be stronger and more secure, for everyone connected to your home network.

But it’s a little embarrassing that, in almost every location, the Eero 5 lagged behind TP-Link’s Deco X20, even though the two have ostensibly identical hardware. Your wifi network must use a compatible eero router and your Echo device must stay in range of a compatible eero device. You just need to plug the nighthawk in where the signal from your router can reach it, and after that it offers a wide area of connectivity. Helpfully, the adapters have pass-through sockets in them so you can still plug other gadgets in as well.While these systems can offer coverage comparable to a modern Wi-Fi 6 mesh, performance will naturally be slower.

Unexpectedly, you’ll also find an option to enable the IPv6-based Thread network protocol, although I’ve yet to see any devices that support it.These days, Thomas mainly, but not exclusively, tests home networking devices and security software for Tech Advisor. Once your network is running, the main screen of the app shows the status of your internet connection, and of your Eero nodes.
