Eero announces a Wifi 7 tri band router

[GregI]

2 10Gbps ports and 2 2.5 Gbps ports!

Wi-Fi 7 Tri-band concurrent 2:4:4 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) with support for 240 MHz channels in 5 GHz and 320 MHz channels in 6 GHz; compatible with older Wi-Fi standards. Quad-core A73 processor, 2GB RAM, 4GB flash storage. The company says it can cover 2,500 square feet per router or up to 7,500 square feet with a three-pack.

£599.99 for a 1 pack, £1,149.99 2 pack and £1,699.99 for a 3 pack. Likely £399.99, £799.99 and £1,199.99 respectively come black friday.

Availability "soon".

At £600 a pop I can't see it. WiFi 6e is more than enough for most home users, although some ISPs who offer over 1G may need to start offering at least 2.5Gb Ethernet.

The current YouFibre 8 Gbps package has the Asus GT-AXE16000 and that's £599. They can likely get a deal with Eero being an ISP to get them for cheaper than black friday deals like talktalk currently does. You kind of want talktalk to do this if they ever offer the 1.6 Gbps packages because then they get put elsewhere. You can get a 2 pack of Eero Pro 6 for under £100. I'd take a punt on one of these for under £200.

I thought it was going to release this week, thanks for telling us @robj20. The app got updated 4 days ago to support it so seemed likely.

Some of the Black Friday prices are going to be very interesting. The 2nd Gen Eero Pro 3 pack is £120 right now. £40 for a tri band router is just nuts (also people saying it's the best Eero they made). I wonder if we'll see sub £200 for the Eero Pro 6 3 pack (that's been as low as £240).
