- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA2 (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.)
- Security Features: WPA2 encryption, Family Profiles
- 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, 5.0 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 5 (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 (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.)
- 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: 1 (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.)

Q: do I need a beacon at site of router? and if so how much for a 3rd beacon?
A: The eero and eero Beacons are all essentially "routers". You will need one eero close to your modem (it will plug directly into your modem), and then you can spread the beacons out through your home. I think maybe you were asking if you also need a beacon next to your modem, as well? If so, the answer is no...just the full sized eero needs to be there. And to you answer your second question, they sell individual beacons for $149. Sorry if I misunderstood your question, but I hope I helped!
A: If your phone can make a connection--even if it is one bar of WiFi, then the Eero can make a connection. With that said, not everything is always 100% reliable and the farther you go the slower the WiFi gets.
A: I get from my provider 150/150. Before I bought the Eero system I would get sometimes 70/60 or 50/30 through wifi. With the Eero system I have yet to get under 155/158 through wifi. That's right I get more than my provider supplies me. I would highly recommend Eero and in fact my father is buying a new house and will purchasing an Eero system the day he moves in. I will also be recommending to all my friends as well.
Q: will this help the reception on my cell phone
A: Prior to installing eero I could not reveivr texts in my basement and phone service was sketchy. Noe O have no problems.
A: Yes. Works great.
Q: do I still need to get internet from my cable company
A: Yes you will need to get that from your Internet Service Provider. The EERO is the router and does not provide internet by just plugging in.
Q: Will every work in a house with plaster walls
A: I have an older home (almost 100 years old) with some plaster walls. The performance of wifi with Eero over the old wifi router is amazing. I have a 1600 sq ft home and I went with two beacons because of the walls - just to ensure good coverage. Placement might be key for you. If the signals can't go through the walls, you should try to get a little more "line of sight" type of placement between the Eero components if you can.
Q: Do I change my network to the eero Network on my smart devices or leave them on my Xfinity Network?
A: Definitely move to eero. I don't mind, but it's much slower than what you'll get by plugging eero or any other wireless router into the ethernet port. Then there is a "bridge" setting on xfinity to turn off their wifi. It's a good idea to do that so the signals don't interfere with each other. The eero can distribute wifi to your entier home, and the wifi router built into the xfinity modem is good, but not nearly as good as the eero system. BTW there are two ways to access wifi with an xfinity system. First, there's an open xfinity wifi login that is available with almost any xfinity modem in any home or restaurant. It's purposely kept slow, but it's free to comcast customers. The second xFinity network from your modem is a real wifi router with a separate ID and login. you can turn this one off wity a "bridge" setting. Search your comcast material help materials (online) or call comcast for helping turn this off - it's confusing and useless. And much less coverage than an eero or any other mesh system. However, the built-in wifi from xfinity is good if you have a small house or apartment. You might not need a mesh system. I compared my xFinity wifi router to my older NetGear Nighthawk AC1700 and the Netgear router seemed faster. But the coverage in my large house with AC1700 and extender is not as good as an eero and 2 beacons.

Outstanding.
So I’ve had the Eero system for aver a month now. Setup was very easy. The beacons are a nice touch of style for the home if you can spare the wall outlet. Speeds are consistent and the range is astounding considering their size. I literally can wait for my daughter at the bus stop access from my house and still stream content to my phone. I pay for 200 mb from xfinity and my results usually end up daily over 250 with the occasional one just below 200. Their customer service is great. I signed up for their Eero Plus and have been enjoying those benefits as well. I can from an Orbi setup consisting of 1 router and 2 sattalites. Orbis customer service is a joke and the devices and software had so many reaccuring problems. I’m completely satisfied with my Eero system. It’s not without its flaws but in my experience the few flaws that it has are overshadowed by its incredible reliability. Good job Eero. Keep the updates rolling and improving your ecosystem.

Exactly what we needed in our house
This system has saved our life! Our WiFi would not reach our spare room, and the signal was weak in the rooms you pass on your way into the spare room. After installing this system, our WiFi now reaches our entire house! In fact, that spare room is now my remote classroom where I run Zoom for 8 hours a day, plus a dozen other tabs and apps. My two teens are each at a table also on Zoom for 7 hours a day, while my husband streams television in our bedroom. It was also super easy to install. Up and running in just a few minutes. Thanks, Eero!

Great Mesh WiFi that's easy to setup and strong signal blanketing your entire house. The best features of the product are the 2 eero Beacons which require 0% technical skills to setup. You will plug each one in an outlet of a room that you want strong coverage and you're done, no additional setup is needed beyond plugging the Beacons into a wall outlet. They also provide a little night light below the Beacon when dark. The price is tough to swallow but the results will wash away any remorse of your purchase. Think of how often you upgrade your phone, now think of the last time you've upgraded your WiFi? The Best One Yet!
