Eero Mesh Wifi
Eero is a mesh WiFi system that was launched by Amazon in 2019. It was designed to replace traditional routers and work in tandem with multiple eero devices to extend reliable and secure WiFi coverage seamlessly across homes. These devices are simple to set up and can be controlled entirely from the eero app. Learn more at eero.com.
