Our Verdict

eero 6

eero 7

The eero 7 is the successor to the eero 6 in the company's entry-level lineup of mesh routers. It's a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router with 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, while the eero 6 is Wi-Fi 6. Physically, the 7 has a slightly larger footprint, but keeps the same minimalist design language, and now has two 2.5Gbps ports instead of the 6's 1Gbps ports. Performance-wise, the 7 delivers faster top speeds at close ranges than the 6, but the two deliver a similar effective range.
