The new Eero Wi-Fi System is improved compared with the previous version, but it is still too expensive.
This new mesh Wi-Fi system is composed of three identical hardware units working in tandem to deliver Wi-Fi coverage in an entire house.
This new system comes with the much-needed streamlining to home Wi-Fi installation. When it first launched this model, the company presented it at a very high price.
The Eero Wi-Fi system can create a large seamless Wi-Fi network with reliable internet access. |
After a year, Eero comes with some new updates, but it seems that the company kept this high price. So, we are talking about the price of 499 dollars for a set of three, and 199 dollars for a single unit. Moreover, we must mention that the mesh Wi-Fi systems market has also grown.
Let’s talk about the difference between the last year’s system and the new one. Since its release, the company made numerous software updates, many of which derived from data that the company gleaned from its customers’ real-world usage in the past year.
This means that the new system is a little bit faster through a new approach to mesh networking. The company calls this feature TrueMesh. Moreover, the new Eero Wi-Fi System also comes with Alexa integration and a much friendlier mobile app.
Between the previous and the new model, we must say that the company expanded competitive field. So, customers should know that it is time to give the Eero another look.
However, this new model remains a low-power Wi-Fi system that is easy to set up and offers fast-to-mid-tier Internet around every room of people’s house.
This coverage depends mostly on the number of Eero units that people are installing into their homes. We must say that the new Eero Wi-Fi System works pretty well, and it also has some useful features.
But, Eero’s model also has some serious competitors on the market. For example, the Google Wifi delivers a similar experience and it costs 200 dollars less.
This price tag makes a huge difference, which means that the Eero model will not have a good life on the market. Let’s talk about how it works.
If customers will pay 499 dollars, they will receive three identical compact hardware units. So, customers will just have to connect one unit to their Internet modem, and after that place the other two around their home, within the wireless range of at least one other unit.
Once they have done this, people will have to follow a simple setup process through Eero’s mobile phone app. The units will work together to create a single, seamless Wi-Fi network.
To be added that customers will also be able to use a single Eero unit as a standalone wireless router. Another alternative is for people to use the system in bridge mode to extend their existing Wi-Fi coverage to a wider area.
People will need to know that the setup process happens entirely on the company’s mobile app, available on Android and iOS. So, all they need to have is an internet-connected mobile device.
