A:AnswerNo. Each device requires 120vac power. Presumably you could use a separate battery backup device to power a remote unit but only until that battery dies.
A:Answereero does not have any VPN technology in it. If you set up a VPN inside your network you could use port forwarding to expose it but eero themselves don't have any VPN support.
A:AnswerUnsure about that specific modem/router but I hooked mine up to a Netgear C7800 X4S Nighthawk 2 in 1 modem/router. The only thing I had to do to make it work was disable NAT on the modem/router so it will not be in control of the network. Eero worked great once I did that.
A:AnswerYes and No. For the eero to work it needs one eero hardwired to the internet source (the MT7711 in this case), that eero would become the head/gateway eero and will broadcast its own wifi (separate from any wifi the MT7711 is broadcasting). Other eero can connect to the gateway eero (wired or wirelessly) and will broadcast the same eero network, giving much greater range.
A:AnswerThe one you add will be better, it does not have to be the main router. I added mine so I could have wired to my smart tv the Wi-Fi stopped working on the TV. Works great with no issues.
A:AnswerYes, you can buy only two and mesh them. There are also other options. You can also buy an Eero 6 or Eero 6 extender and use that as the 'remote' node in the mesh.
A:AnswerYes it is compatible. I just hooked it up yesterday. It is very easy plug and play. I purchased 3 pack eero pro and hooked them up to our 5G Verizon modem and voila! Works amazing! FYI we are using 5G business and this is at a business with 3000sq ft suite. The eeros allow the signal to get to the back of the suite for our video conferencing. Plus our Amazon echos extend the WiFi as well. Everything works amazing! Good luck!
