- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA3-Personal, WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, None (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: 10/100/1000/2500 (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, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz, Not Applicable, Not Applicable (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 6E (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: AC, N, AX (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: MIMO (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: 2 (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.)
- Number of 6.0Ghz Streams: 2
- 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.

- Pro 6E AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E Router
A: I'm not an expert by any means. However I recently replaced all of the smaller eero rental routers from Hotwire (we had 5 of them) with the Pro 6E Tri-Band Mesh wifi routers that we purchased from Best Buy. They were very easy to install and we now have a stronger system in our home. Note we needed a stronger system due to outdoor landscaping lights that are wifi driven as well as cameras, etc. Some of the lights are 50'+ from the house so we needed a good reach. And...yes you can just plug a new eero router into a power outlet and it should synch up.
A: Hi Steve, Yes, the Eero Pro 6E has a 2.5Gbps WAN port and a 1Gbps LAN port. If your modem feeds the 2.5Gbps port, any wired connection from the Eero will be limited to 1Gbps. You could use a 2.5Gbps switch between the modem and Eero, but it may affect some Eero features and control. For full functionality, it's best to connect the modem directly to the Eero's 2.5Gbps port. Hope this helps!
A: In order for eero to work there must be one eero (which will be the head/gateway eero) hardwired to your modem/internet source. If you wanted to use a really long ethernet cable that will work. However, running cables all over a house isn't always feasible. If you have two (or more) eero you will have the gateway one hardwired to the modem. The other eero will connect to the first one (either wired or wirelessly) and they will both broadcast the same wifi network for your devices to connect to.
A: I have all Apple products and love my system
Q: Is the Eero pro 6 e compatible with AT&T internet service?
A: As long as the AT&T (or any ISP) provides you with access to the internet via an ethernet port the eero should work fine with it. We have quite a few customers who use AT&T
A: Yes, but you will need access to the eero app,to add them, so they will work as a mesh system.
A: Those are the same model, just differences in where they were manufactured. Performance will be identical between the two.
Q: Can I use the eero Pro 6E AX5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E Router with on older eero ( 3 pack ) ?
A: Yes but make sure the gateway is a Pro 6E. Any devices connected through your old nodes will be WiFi 5 and the new ones will be WiFi 6. Your mesh network will also have bottlenecks to lower speeds, so it would be recommended to use only new nodes for max output.

Great Whole Home WiFi Coverage
This eero router is amazing. Its signal reaches throughout my entire home and when combined with other eeros, the strength of the signal is insanely good. Absolutely love the ability to manage my devices and WiFi from anywhere with the eero app. Totally recommend this product!

Not a “Pro” device, personal data concerns
Was excited about a Wi-Fi 6e router at a great price, but with that price comes some very large limitations. Was coming from a Velop Wi-Fi 5 setup prior. Here are the limitations: - No browser interface to manage router, must use app - WPA3 support is beta, is really WPA2/WPA3 not WPA3 Personal - No ability for advanced network management, can’t configure a MAC address filter, which bands are in use, channels, anything - No ability to manually configure device prioritization Here are the privacy concerns: - By default, your email address and name are used and uploaded to Facebook to be used for targeted advertising not only by Eero, but any advertisers that uses audience targeting. You have to email them with a specific subject line to opt-out - By default, you are enrolled in a trial of their Secure service, which further uses your personal data - Your device unique IDs are collected and used for targeting products and services to you. This unique ID allows advertisers to create profiles and link activity across 3rd parties - Eero collects the unique IDs and MAC addresses of all devices that connect to your network With an extremely limited ability to manage advanced settings, no ability manage the device from a browser, you can only use the app, no ability to see detailed logging of traffic on your network or what the router actually is doing, limited support for WPA3…you would be better off spending more money and getting a Wi-Fi 6e router that does not obscure it’s management functions and logging and provides finer-grained control over configuration. This is not really a “Pro” device. If you are a novice and want an inexpensive 6e router and are not concerned about your personal data, then this is not a bad option. If you want more control over your network security and desire more transparency, try a device like Linksys Atlas AXE8400. That is what I am replacing this with.

What even is WiFi
Main unit sits in bedroom. Forgotten it’s even there. WiFi just works and I never really think about from where. Funny. Easy set up by the way.
