Eero is a mesh-based system that relies on multiple access points to work together. Using its custom software, it is able to give users the fastest and most reliable internet connection within their homes, without ever having to run long ethernet cables to each access point.
Apple recently exited the router business saying that users now have plenty of options from third-party competitors. The company stated that it would continue selling its AirPort routers until it depleted its stock entirely. The company’s decision to leave the router business seems to be an odd one considering the rise of mesh Wi-Fi networks and the increasing number of Apple products that are integrated in the smart home.
Eero has been a rather popular router brand when it comes to mesh Wi-Fi networks. Starting at $399 for its starter pack which gives you a base station and two beacons, with a pro pack for $499, users have generally been happy with their purchase (including myself).
