The eero Max 7 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 Router is the newly released Wi-Fi 7 router to hit the market. It’s cutting-edge to the point that a majority of hardware today does not yet support the new standard. However, in a world that’s always looking to stay a step ahead in technology, the eero Max 7 is leading that charge!
With all the included technology users will be pleasantly surprised at how easy these devices are to set up, mesh and begin using. Without a doubt, it was one of the easiest setups of any device added recently and was completed from opening the box to online in less than 10 minutes. I was replacing a wifi setup from a competitor and was expecting crossover issues, but this was not the case. All that’s needed is to download the eero app, connect the router(s) and walk through the installation process in the app. A single router covers 2,500 sq. ft. and additional routers can be added to cover up to 7,500 sq. ft. spaces. In my case it’s a two-router mesh setup and easily supports our 3,800 sq. ft. home with 32 devices currently supported. Setting up the multi-router system is a breeze and all done through the eero app.
The eero app is also a great addition to the Max 7 system, with many features to manage your internet connection, users, routers, etc. It’s required for setting up and managing the system. The free version provides a plethora of settings and control features and eero also offers a subscription model with additional security, backup and parental controls to name a few.
Overall Impressions – the eero Max 7 is a breeze to set up and once up and running it’s sort of a “set it and forget it” device. Firmware and software updates can be set to auto-update and the app will manage to network and report any issues. So these routers are FAST, they are built for speed, but for my needs what really shines is the coverage. I have multiple Wi-Fi cameras outside, a home office with multiple computers and peripherals and our personal devices (which add up quickly between laptops, tablets, watches, phones, etc.). The eero Max 7’s mesh coverage has not wavered since set up was completed. My previous system would often drop the outside cameras due to lack of consistent coverage.
And yes these routers are fast as expected, speed tests have averaged 435 Mbps download and 13 Mbps upload speeds. Although as mentioned previously, a majority of devices don’t yet support the Wi-Fi 7 platform, I’m happy to know that this router will support our needs for many years to come!
Pros:
- Ease of set up and use with eero app
- eero app is more than adequate and additional features are available through subscription
- Fast, fast, fast and rock-solid mesh coverage
- eero Max 7 is esthetically pleasing and fits into our home and office décor
- Routers easily cover our 3,800 sqft home with mesh support between 2 routers
- Four ethernet ports – 2 x 10 Gbe and 2 x 2.5 Gbe
- Support for 100+ devices
Cons:
- Can only be set up on mobile device with eero app – not a concern for me personally
- May be user error, but many devices on the network are listed as “Unnamed” in the app.
The eero Max 7 Tri-band Mesh Router is the future of Wi-Fi and it’s here now! I would recommend them to anyone looking to update their home or small office wi-fi setup. They are fast, signal strength is rock solid, and they look great too!

For years I’ve been trying to find a router that can be the perfect match for my internet provider. I’ve tried countless different routers, including the provided router from my internet provider and I continue to have inconsistent connection issues. I’m not quite familiar with eero but because of the Amazon brand reputation I thought I should give it a try.
The delivery was id required to minimize miss delivery, and theft from porch pirates. It worked fine for me since I was home for the delivery. It was well packaged with thick cardboard and no damage to the contents inside.
Taking the routers out the box I can feel the weight and quality. It t has a simple shape with a glossy finish that compliments my tv stand. I do think a black finish would probably be better since everything else is black but it looks good.
Setting up the eero Max 7 was extremely easy for me. I allocated my Saturday to get it done but I had it all set up in just a few minutes. The eero app walked me through it all and it was a great experience.
I did spend extra time to label the connected devices so I can see the activity and troubleshooting if I need to later. Most was labeled by eero so it didn’t take long to edit or add the rest of my devices description.
So far I’m happy with the performance of the eero Max 7. I’m not noticing any connection issues between my devices and router. With my old router I often use to get issues with streaming and sometimes my smart home devices. The eero Max 7 seems to be handling the issue. In the app I was able to pause or terminate any device using my network. The app is easy and quick allowing me to make changes I see fit to protect my network. I love the speed test feature that lets me know what my internet speed is recommended for.
I have my entire home covered and no dead zones. This is perfect for me in the future too because it is true mesh, wap3, WiFi 7, supports over 200 devices and much more. I can’t wait to have my family and friends over for the holidays to see how well it handles that many people using their devices. I know I’ll find more to love about the eero max 7 router. I truly recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade to their router.

Very fast and easy to set up. It works twice as fast as Orbi 770. I tried both systems in the exact same locations using the exact same app to measure speeds. I am finally getting the gigabit speeds that I am paying for with better range. The Orbi 770 was disappointing as it barely faster than my Orbi 753 system. Eero is much easier to set-up and doesn't have the firmware issues that Orbi had. The security subscription includes 1Password and VPN which is an enchancement over Orbi. Eero is a superior system with a similar price to Orbi 770 when on sale

After lots of skepticism, and reading through numerous reviews on multiple websites I took the plunge and I have to say I'm impressed. From the ease of the process and app, along with the coverage and speeds I'm impressed. Last time I tried an Orbi (3 node) in the 6E series it had large impacts to some smart home products and Orbi was pricy. And my Asus ROG Gaming Router (WIFI 6 1 node) was starting to act up after 4+ years. So I grabbed these EERO 7 MAX (3 node) to future proof and update the degrading hardware. As others say if you want all the fancy features to tweak settings this is not the way. However, I'm getting to the point with technology I want easier even though I work in the IT field. This is truly like an Apple setup, very easy and straight forward and things that just work! No issues, no hiccups and great coverage. Just having issues with one spot near a cinderblock garage with my phone at times but the cameras there still work great. I would highly recommend and you don't need to change anything and can quickly know the items on your network. I would immediately recommend to anyone especially if you can grab the bundle on sale!

I’ve tried every other brand of mesh system, and by far, eero Max is the most stable. We have a 2,500 sq ft single story house with over 100 smart devices, cameras, tvs, laptops, phones and tablets. While no system is perfect this system has been stable and reliable. I would prefer more options to ‘tweak’ but I’m thankful for the stability. I have gig internet with Spectrum and I consistently get speeds over 900 on an iPhone and MacBook. In order to have the best coverage, 4 units were used throughout the house - moving then to different areas to balance the number of units per node. I like to keep 25-30 devices attached to each mode for best results.

Overall the eero Max 7 mesh routers deliver great wireless coverage and fast throughput. Each node has two 10gb and two 2.5gb ports for Lan, backhaul and local ethernet connections. There is no usb connector for attaching a usb device but it does support Zigbee and smart home devices. The one negative with the eero Max 7 is the high subscription cost ($10 monthly or $100 yearly) to get parental control and access to more of the router’s performance data such as security statistics, blocked threats and scans against your network. There are other components included with the subscription but most of them aren’t necessary if you already own a total protection virus software.
Setup and Performance: Setting up the eero routers were very simple and straightforward. After downloading the app on my iphone I decided to install the base station first to see how much of my house it actually covered. Using the same SSID and password allowed most of the devices to rehome without issue but some I had to power off and power back on to get them to connect. I was delighted to see that the new eero router actually provided better coverage than my older router. Next I put the remote eero in my office where I had a backhaul ethernet cable to the base station. I connected the two using the ethernet 10gb port and then added the second eero router in the app. Everything showed up correctly and the remote unit obtained the wireless credentials automatically. I have no way to verify this but the app shows that the backhaul connection between the two routers is connected at a 10gb rate. In my office I have an eight port switch which I connected to the remote eero router via the 2.5 gb ethernet port and all my devices worked as if they were directly attached to the base station with little to no delay or loss of throughput. I did several speed test to verify that connecting via the switch through the remote eero to the base station eero saw very little to no difference to connecting directly to the isp router. I have 1gb to the house and I was able to get speeds over 900 gb on my pc connected to the remote router which is connected via the backhaul cable to the base station so wired connectivity at 1gb rate is no issue. The wireless connectivity proved to be better than my existing wifi 6e router as well. Sitting within line of site I consistently would get low to mid 300 gbs on my existing router. With the eero Max 7 I would get in the mid 400 gbs which is a nice improvement. I did this testing using my iphone 15 Pro and a high powered laptop with both of them connecting using wifi 6e protocols. When testing with my older laptops using 802.11ac (wifi 5) the numbers dropped into the mid 200 gbs to 300 gbs depending on the distance from the routers. Overall I have seen an improvement in coverage as well as an improvement in speed from a wi-fi standpoint over my prior wi-fi 6e mesh router configuration. I do not have any wi-fi 7 devices yet but its nice to know that this router will work with them when I do upgrade the devices. Also because each router has multiple high speed ethernet connections on the back I have found that they are great for wired connection such as a connecting a NAS or a switch.
App and Subscription: This is where I think the eero Max 7 loses a star. While the app is simple to use it limits the information that the administrator has to control and understand his network. To get more control and information beyond the basics you have to subscribe to a $10 monthly or $100 yearly plan. This means to have parental control or information on websites accessed by your children you have to pay a premium. The subscription does offer VPN and additional protection such as safe search, adblocking and anti-malware protection but if you already own a full protection antivirus software you don’t need any of this. Lastly the subscription does give you insight into the network traffic and activities of the routers which sadly should be included for free with every router.

The EERO mesh system is by far the best on the market. I had the EERO PRO 2nd gen which I purchased seven years ago and it still worked really good, but I upgraded to fiber and I wanted a router that could give me those speeds plus more. When I added the new EERO 7 MAX I called the customer service and they told me all I had to do was add the new EERO 7 MAX nodes and then connect one of the new nodes to my modem after adding the new nodes to my existing network, it would then become the new gateway node. That was how I was able to replace my router without having to change my network, I get about 1.2gbps upload and download from the main router (Gateway node), and I get about 800mbps upload and download from the extending nodes.

Long time eero customer ever since eero’s first product as a startup company. I’m upgrading from eero Pro 6e. eero Max 7 is a typical eero system, it just works. True WiFi 7 tri-band that can support high number amount of devices connected at the same time. I’ve close to 100 WiFi devices on the network at the same time. Initially I tried the Linksys Velop Pro 7 WiFi Mesh System, which came with three WiFi routers with greater coverage than the eero Max 7 twin pack at almost half the price. However, the Velop started to have data drop and complete stoppage when there are more than 50 devices on the network, which is no better than WiFi 6. Return the Velop the next day and got the eero Max 7. Could be happier with the performance. Great to see first actual ventilation holes on the Max 7. Hopefully the ventilation holes will keep it operational even in hot summer days when it would cause my previous eero 6, 5, etc to trigger red LED of death. I only had the Max 7 for two months now, so far so good.

I loved the WiFi and Ethernet speeds on this router. The Eero app interface is easy to use and looks great. Setup is very easy. Signal strength is good. My only gripe is that the coverage range isn’t as great as I had expected. I did a lot of research on this router before getting it, and the range fell short on what I read. Definitely not enough for a 3000 sq ft home. You’ll want to get another Eero for extending the network if you want full satisfaction. All-in-all, for the price I wouldn’t recommend it. Once the price drops a bit, then it will be a thumbs-up.

This product was simple to install and provided ample coverage for my large home. If you already have eero mesh routers, the eero app works wonders to replace your existing eero mesh routers. The Max 7 quickly identified my network and updated the software. I wanted to upgrade my network in anticipation of fiber reaching our neighborhood soon. So far, no problems with speed and connection quality with my existing service.

Changed service provider after installation of bet CAT6A to each corner of my house. New 5gbps service came with 1 Max 7 unit. Picked up a Max 7 three pack on sale (still expensive) and was able to set up pretty easy. I think I may have a bit of “overkill” for my home as I have four units hardwired installed at each corner of the house but no more issues connecting anywhere in and out of my home. Neighbors are probably getting strong signals! Time will tell but these are working as desired and I have not had any issues even though each unit is overlapping each other. I am happy. Much batter than before.

This product has worked great for our 7,000 sq/ft home. It provides coverage in places our normal router could not. With simple set up and installment this product has been a great addition to our home, 10/10 would recommend to anyone in search of a good wifi extender. A little on the pricey side but the value is most definitely there!

Absolutely amazingly fast speeds! Solid design and works very well. Coverage is phenomenal and ease of use with the app is wonderful. The 10 GB ports are great for super high speed. I have had all the Eero’s and this one by far tops them all.

I have a new Surface Pro 11 with Wifi 7, and since my network at home has a 10GB switch, with a 5 GB card in my media center and a 10GB card in my Synology, I figured it was time to get the wireless going better for my file copies to and from the Surface.
First I tried the Archer BE800 which was an unmitigated disaster. Three hours of factory resets and trying over and over, and it was just utter junk.
This one - I disconnected everything I had existing (a mesh system of Deco units and an Asus wifi router that was the main unit here) and plugged one of these behind my T-Mobile home internet box. And within about 3 minutes, I was up and running and had a whole bunch of my smart devices (I have about 180 smart devices on my home network) already connecting. I plugged in the second one, used a wired backchannel, and that was about 3 minutes to completion.
Before I could even get back to my laptop the app showed the majority of my devices already back online (since I used the same SSID and password for simplicity).
I had a brief moment of worry when I couldn't see the option to change my IP for the local network to a 192.168.1.x since all my devices for my media and such are hardcoded, but a quick google search showed me to ignore what the app showed and one you get to the next page you can enter other specifics. And it worked without any isue.
Still have some tweaking to do since my wireless copy speeds from my Surface Pro 10 aren't good at all, only about 50% faster than I was on the Wifi 6 Asus, despite my wireless link showing a 5764 Mbps connection speed for the Surface. I know the things I'm copying to and from are insanely faster, and the switch also verifies that everything has an actual speed for the wiring where it should be. So time will tell if I can get that working better.
But I like the simplicity of this setup. Not normally a fan of app setups (I'm a CTO of an IT consulting company, been working computers for over 40 years, so I'm used to and normally prefer a good web UI with tons of options) but this app setup was painless and let me get everything changed I needed to get changed from within it. That is a first for me.
More expensive, but the thought process of getting what you pay for usually plays out, and in this case it did. Unless something drastic goes wrong now out of the blue, I've got nothing here to dislike other than the short power cords.

Had originally bought the new Linksys router, but had nothing but problems. Three nodes and the two child nodes would constantly drop signal and have to be rebooted manually after being relocated to the parent node. Owned for 4 days and had to do that several times. Very annoying and I took that thing back to the store.
The sales guy at the return desk recommended this eero wifi7 and so I got it and had it up and running within a few minutes once I got home. It's only one unit, and covers to house better than the three other nodes did. It has a very easy app and the coverage is great. The newer Amazon Echo devices even act as range extenders for this thing.
All in all, I'm very happy with this product and glad I got it.

This was so easy to setup using the app on my phone, and I’m not technically inclined and old. It works great. I also purchased 2 extenders that I placed in other parts of the house, and the app tells you if you have chosen a good place or not. I had to move one for better placement per the app. It was so amazingly easy and straightforward. Great experience all around. From the sales guy that recommended this router to the setup. I felt so smart after setting it up. Hehe the only reason I give the range 4stars is because I have a small house and one was supposed to be enough. But my small house is also 100 years old with plaster walls so I had to add 2 satellites Now it works perfectly.

eero Max 7 has introduced Wi-Fi 7 in my home office, now to have a look into the near future of wireless networking. What I see is quite exciting and a far far away time from when we used phone cup modems (300 Baud - 30 bytes/s) and sneaker nets at home and in the office. Spoiler Alert - the eero Max 7 is a tremendous leap forward.
First impression, the eero Max 7 is stylish and looks fantastic. I know, because my wife told me so and she appreciates that I swapped our entertainment center’s older black router with huge antennas for the eero. It does look amazing amid our techie entertainment system and blends smoothly with our décor.
Box opening, the routers were bit larger than I thought from online pictures, apparently full of highly cool tech stuff.
Setup. Most incredibly straight forward router installation that I have ever worked on, have performed hundreds of corporate, mid-small business and home router installations over the years. And of course, the ongoing maintenance of systems. Hands down, the eero installation with the app is the smoothest plug and play system I have ever had the opportunity to install. And that speaks volumes when compared to most router installations.
The setup is simplified and believe any level of user would find they can easily install in their home network quickly and with little effort. It is really that easy.
What is Wi-Fi 7? To put it into perspective, Wi-Fi 6 was a step-up increase in speed over Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 7 on the other hand is all about heart pumping adrenaline-driven fast connections. In industry speak you have “802.11be EHT," for ‘Extremely High Throughput.’ That is what Wi-Fi 7 is, the fastest breakthrough in wi-fi technology since wi-fi was introduced in 1997. It is remarkable how fast and safely we can now transfer data through the air.
We have several computers that have Wi-Fi 6e and we have excellent response rates with the new eero Max 7. One is a new Alienware laptop with Killer Wi-Fi 6e AX16190i 16-Mhz Wi-Fi adapter, running a steady solid 2.4 Gbps. My wife’s Dell laptop is also pulling a solid 2.4 Gbps throughout our home.
Keep in mind when computers and devices are updated to Wi-Fi 7, they will be running at 4.3 Gbps!!! We’ll be waiting in line for the upgrades. How ever you cut it, 4.3 wireless is smoking fast.
Run several sub-nets on our home network and switched over my entertainment center sub-net by simply unplugging the existing router and plugging in the eero. With DHCP running on the main eero all my equipment switched over automatically. The only issue I had was a TV and Dish Joey in one room which required a reboot to hook up with the configuration. Too easy.
Notes:
- With eero’s wired speed up to 9.4 Gbps the wired network will be quick. An understatement.
- One eero provides 2500 sqft of coverage - Two eero’s provide 5000 sqft - Three will be 7500 sqft
- Supports Bridge Mode
- Ethernet Standard 10/100/1000/2500/10000
- Frequency Band 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz
- Wired Backhaul - “Also known as Ethernet backhaul or backbone, this capability can be enabled to directly wire a secondary (mesh) router or satellite to the main router via Ethernet cable. This connection allows for faster and more stable data upload.” Wired Highly Effective
- * First tested the two Router Nodes wirelessly from one side of home to the other – speed was incredible
- eero Max 7 App is exceptionally well deigned and intuitive
Other Notes:
- Cables are short - ethernet cable 3” - power cable 5”
- Lack of Web Interface - Closed System - Must use app
- No Firewall (that I am aware of) but with subscription there is offer of security? The first router that I’ve worked on that placed paywall in front of security.
I am a power user with an extensive state-of-the-art network and sub-nets running in an environment that sports five routers and five switches to manage/process our data requirements. Our new two node eero Max 7 quickly found a way into our network displacing a three-router mesh system.
Besides the sheer power and cutting-edge technology of the Max 7 was how easily I was able to join the router to our network. The Max 7 has some serious smarts and programming built into the gorgeous case. When joining the eero Max 7 to our complex Entertainment and Internet of Things (IoT) sub-net, which is the net my wife uses, the system just snapped into place.
Anyone considering taking the dive into Wi-Fi 7, along with future proofing your system and running at the cutting edge of speed I would recommend having a long look at the eero Max 7.

I have been an early adopter of WiFi 7 because I have spent last 2 years on a journey to make a “smarter” house. In that time I have tried TP Link, Netgear, and Asus routers. Trust me when I say you will be happy with these routers. I am a non-IT guy and these were by far the easiest to setup AND THEY JUST WORK. I like not having separate SSIDs for IOT or the different bands. Everything just connects flawlessly and so much nicer to mange ONE SSID. I love them so much I also purchased a couple of their outdoor routers for our yard and garage.
FINALLY, I have used their support line twice already and they were very responsive and helpful. Overall I am finally happy with my mesh system after 2 years of trial and error.
