"eero 7 Pro: Powerful Wi-Fi 7, but with a Few Caveats"
The eero 7 Pro aims to bring the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology to homes with a blend of performance and ease of use. Its tri-band system, supporting 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, offers impressive speeds, especially at close range. The setup process is, as expected from eero, remarkably simple via the eero app. The system also boasts smart home integration with Thread, Matter, and Zigbee. However, its performance at longer ranges, particularly on the 2.4GHz band, can be inconsistent. Furthermore, some advanced features are locked behind an eero Plus subscription, and the limited number of Ethernet ports might be a drawback for some users. Despite these points, it's a strong contender for those seeking future-proof networking.
