Amazon-owned Eero jumped into the Wi-Fi 6E fray today with the announcement of its first Wi-Fi 6E-enabled mesh Wi-Fi system. The tri-band Eero Pro 6E<\/a> router adds access to the new 6GHz Wi-Fi band<\/a>, supports wireless speeds up to 1.3 Gbps, and claims coverage for over 100 devices simultaneously. The 6GHz band is touted as a spacious new Wi-Fi \u201ctraffic lane\u201d that should enable faster speeds and less congestion across your home network. <\/p>\n

The Eero Pro 6E starts at $299 for a single router and goes up to $699 for a full three-unit mesh system. The new model brings with it a shakeup to the entire Eero line \u2014 there\u2019s also a new dual-band Eero 6 Plus<\/a> system that offers gigabit speeds at a lower price (starting at $139), and a price cut to the entry-level Wi-Fi 6 Eero 6<\/a> (starting at $89) for speeds up to 500Mbps.<\/p>\n

The Eero Pro 6E supports multi-gigabit internet service, with each Eero device sporting one 2.5GbE and one 1.0GbE ethernet port. So, if you are one of the lucky few with faster than gigabit internet speeds, you can actually access them now. \u201cIn our testing, we\u2019ve been able to deploy in excess of 2.3 gigabits a second of traffic all at once,\u201d Nick Weaver, CEO and co-founder of Eero, told The Verge<\/em>. \u201cIt makes sure that the WAN coming in is not going to be the bottleneck. You\u2019re able to deploy the full extent of your WAN connection off a gateway Eero.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Eero Pro 6E costs $299 for a one-pack covering up to 2,000 sq. ft., $499 for a two-pack covering 4,000 sq. ft, and $699 for a three-pack covering 6,000 sq. ft. That\u2019s a $100 hike over the existing Eero Pro 6 mesh systems, which support Wi-Fi 6, but not 6E. The Pro 6, which is also tri-band but uses one 2.4 GHz band and two 5GHz, remains available.<\/p>\n
