- General
- Brand: eero
- Model Number: K010111
- Product Name: Pro 6 AX4200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router
- Color: White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA3-Personal, WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.8 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 2000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 1 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Supported: 32 (Maximum quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes that are able to be connected to the main router in a Wi-Fi Mesh System.)
- Wired Backhaul: true (Also known as Ethernet backhaul or backbone, this capability can be enabled to directly wire a secondary router or satellite to the main router via Ethernet cable. This connection allows for faster and more stable data upload.)
- Routing Protocol: DHCP (The protocol used for communicating and distributing information in a computer network.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)
- Integrated Modem: false
- Wireless: true
- Ports
- Number Of WAN Ports: 2 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Wide Area Network (WAN). This type of port may simply be labeled "Internet," and it allows the device to share its internet connection with all devices connected to it via LAN ports.)

A: I connected my Eero Pro 6 directly to the Spectrum Modem, disconnected the Spectrum Wireless router and put it in the closet (don't lose it cause they'll want it back after the lease)... You will notice better download and upload speeds when you remove Spectrum's OEM Wireless Router. Spectrum will do their best to convince you to keep using their wireless router, but the truth is that when using their Spectrum Wireless Router, they track and monitor the unit (performance and network maintenance). Eero does a better job at security and network management right out of the box.
A: Hi! These are actually routers, not modems. The modems should be given to you by your internet service provider. Eero pro products used to be sold as a router with extenders. This new eero pro 6 is now sold with no extenders. You can use your eero pro 6 as a router and any additional eero pro 6 you purchase can be used as an extender. Eero pro 6 allow for up to 1 gigabyte per second of download speed. The benefit of using an eero pro 6 as an extender is that it will allow for 1 GB of speed to be extended around the house for an additional 2000 sq ft. If you purchase the eero 6 extender, you will only have up to 500 megabytes per second of download speed with a range of 1,500 sq ft.
Q: How many eithernet ports just each unit have?
A: Each eero Pro 6 has 2 ethernet ports. The one you chose to connect to your modem will have one ethernet port left for use.
Q: Can you set up more than 1 SSID on the eero Pro 6 AX4200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Wifi System
A: Unfortunately no, the eero FAQ I think has their reasoning for not supporting that. Initially that was a massive problem as I've lots of dumb 'smart' devices that only operate on the 2.4 band. It creates a setup issue with some of those devices since when you're setting them up your smartphone/tablet if may need to be connected to the same band as you are configuring the device, but the phone/tables wants to/will connect to the 5Ghz band. Fortunately I found that hasn't been that big an issue as you can in the eero software tell it to disable the 5Ghz network temporarily for 15 minutes - no interruptions: 5Ghz devices temporarily fall back to 2.4, I setup whatever 2.4 only device, and several minutes later everything that fell back returns to the 5Ghz band.
A: Yes. Hard wire the first one to the modem. The second one can be placed anywhere and does no need a hard wire to the modem. Download the Eero app on your phone and it will walk you through the install. It's extremely easy and user friendly and will take about 10 minutes. -john
Q: Is eero compatible with fios?
A: Yes it is. I have Frontier Fios and it works great with it
Q: will this wifi mesh system extend the range of my internet?
A: Yes! I was blown away. I had so much interference in my new home, I considered moving. With Eero Pro 6 along with the Arris Surfboard Modem, my home will not be on the market. These two items have been a lifesaver. Not only is my internet extended, it's powerful and reliable. It never fails.
A: If you're buying the eero Pro 6 all units will come with 2 ethernet ports, they can be used for either connecting to the rest of your network wired, providing network connectivity to other devices (wired or wireless). Some examples: - You can have an eero plugged in to get wired backhaul in one port & another port providing ethernet to devices - You can have an eero connected wirelessly to other eero providing ethernet connection to devices plugged into it. If you do need a switch for more ethernet ports, make sure to get an unmanaged switch.
