Amazon has unveiled the eero Max 7, marking its entry into the Wi-Fi 7 mesh system. This new product is touted as the most advanced eero to date, leveraging the company’s proprietary TrueMesh networking technology combined with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard. This combination aims to enhance speeds, reduce interference from other networks, and improve overall mesh latency. With the inclusion of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the eero Max 7 can download a 4K movie in just 10 seconds or a 50 gigabyte video game in under a minute.
Nick Weaver, the co-founder and CEO of eero, emphasized the importance of connectivity in today’s digital age. He mentioned that even a slight delay can be noticeable to users, especially when streaming or gaming. The eero Max 7 has been designed to address these concerns, offering an uncompromised experience.
The eero Max 7 is a tri-band mesh wifi system that supports the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz radio bands. It can provide wireless speeds of up to 4.3 Gbps and wired speeds reaching 9.4 Gbps. The device is equipped with two 10 and two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, catering to multiple wired devices and supporting internet plans up to 10 Gbps. In terms of coverage, a single eero Max 7 can cover 2,500 square feet, while a three-pack system can extend up to 7,500 square feet. The device employs TrueMesh technology, which dynamically routes data to ensure a reliable internet experience throughout the home. Additionally, the eero Max 7 has been redesigned with a new form factor and an advanced passive thermal design, eliminating the need for a fan.
The eero Max 7 is optimized for applications that require high data transfer rates and minimal latency, such as augmented and virtual reality, high-definition video streaming, and gaming. It also enhances everyday connectivity by reducing network congestion and offers robust support for smart home devices. This includes support for over 200 connected devices, Matter support, the capability to function as a Thread Border Router, and an integrated Zigbee smart home hub.
The eero Max 7 is compatible with all major internet service provider plans and is backward compatible with previous eero models. It also offers features like easy setup and management through the eero app, automatic software updates, and enhanced security measures. For those interested in advanced online security and parental controls, the eero Plus subscription service is available.
In terms of pricing, the eero Max 7 will soon be available at $599.99 for a single pack, $1,149.99 for a two-pack, and $1,699.99 for a three-pack. It will be sold on eero.com, Amazon.com, select retailers, and through certain internet service providers in multiple countries. More details can be found on the eero website.
