Where is eero manufactured?

Eero's lineup of mesh routers has been a top home networking option for several years. Now, the Amazon-owned company has two new systems on the market: the Eero 6 Plus ($299 for a three-pack) and the Eero Pro 6E ($699 for a three-pack).

With multiple devices spread throughout your house, each of the Eero systems promises a faster, more reliable room-to-room connection. Both systems feature full support for Wi-Fi 6 speeds and built-in Zigbee radios that let you connect smart home gadgets to your network without the need for an extra hub.

Under the hood, you'll find significant differences between these two models, especially in performance. As the "Pro" branding suggests, the Eero Pro 6E includes an ultra-high-speed WAN port that supports incoming Ethernet speeds as high as 2.5Gbps. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E, which allows it to connect compatible devices over the recently opened ultrawide 6GHz band.

If you're trying to decide which one would be a better fit for your home, you're in the right place. I spent a few weeks testing both systems and have plenty to share about their respective capabilities. Here's a close look at how the two systems stack up against each other, compare to previous Eero systems and match up to the competition. I'll also include my thoughts on which might be the better buy for most peoples' home networking needs. (Hint: One of them has already earned a spot on my list of the best mesh routers currently on sale.)

Design and specs

Neither of the new systems deviate from Eero's established style: Glossy, white plastic with gentle curves, ports in the back and an Eero logo up top. In fact, they're nearly indistinguishable from previous-gen Eero systems. Both the Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E are backward compatible with earlier-gen Eero setups. This means existing Eero users can pick up a single Eero 6 Plus or Pro 6E device and add it into their setup as either the main router or an additional range extender.

As for the internals, the Eero Pro 6E is the more powerful of the two mesh routers. It boasts faster radios, superior range, and twice as much RAM as the Eero 6 Plus, plus the added benefit of the 2.5Gbps Ethernet jack in the back. Another key advantage of the Pro 6E is its triband build, which allows the system to dedicate either the 5 or 6GHz band to transmissions between the router and its satellites. All of that is great, but the problem is that the Eero Pro 6E isn't designed to hit wireless speeds much faster than 1.3Gbps. While it can handle an incoming multigig connection, it won't offer those same blazing fast speeds over Wi-Fi.

That brings us back to the Eero 6 Plus, which offers significantly better performance than before, thanks to faster radios and support for 160Mhz channels, allowing wider lanes for web traffic. While it isn't as powerful as the Pro 6E, it makes better use of the horsepower packed inside, especially considering it costs $250 less for a three-pack than the Eero Pro 6E. Dollar for dollar, the hardware makes a little more sense, so I give it a slight edge here.

Winner: Eero 6 Plus

Performance and speeds

Design aside, the Eero Pro 6E is the speedier of these two systems. In my home, with a fiber internet connection offering upload and download speeds of up to 300Mbps and the fastest devices I test reaching around 375Mbps at close range, the Eero Pro 6E's download speeds to a Wi-Fi 6 device averaged 342Mbps throughout the house. With a Wi-Fi 6E device, that rose to an impressive 365Mbps.

Meanwhile, the Eero 6 Plus returned average Wi-Fi 6 download speeds of 304Mbps, and that number actually declined slightly when retested with a Wi-Fi 6E device. This isn't surprising -- without Wi-Fi 6E support, the Eero 6 Plus won't treat Wi-Fi 6E client devices differently than those supporting Wi-Fi 6.

A download average of 304Mbps is still a very good result (and it's top-10 among all mesh routers I've tested at home over the past few years) -- but the Eero Pro 6E was even better. You're likely to see an even greater difference on a network supporting higher speeds than my 300Mbps fiber plan, as the Pro 6E is better equipped for faster speeds. As more devices in our homes start offering support for Wi-Fi 6E, the Eero Pro 6E gets the clear edge.

Privacy, security and features

Both the Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E offer setup guidance and system controls via the Eero app, available on Android and iOS. The app does a very good job of walking users through the setup process, which is simple: connect an Eero device to your modem with an Ethernet cable, plug it into a power source, give your network a name, pick a password, and plug in the extenders when instructed. With both systems, I had things up and running in under 10 minutes.

In addition to setup help, the Eero app makes it easy to track devices connected to your network, run a speed test, or group devices for ad blocking or parental control purposes. With a $3 monthly subscription to Eero Secure, you can add additional security and content filtering features. For $10 per month, Eero Secure Plus adds remote DDNS controls, access to Malwarebytes antiviral protection, the Encrypt.me VPN, and 1Password, one of CNET's top-rated password managers. Security features aside, both Eero systems have built-in Zigbee radios for connecting things like lights and locks to your home network and support the upcoming Matter smart home standard with Thread support. All these features are the same across both the Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E.

Both systems share the same privacy considerations. On its data-collection support page, Eero states it never tracks websites you visit or collects the contents of your web traffic. However, the company collects data from your network to optimize Wi-Fi performance. Eero assures users it doesn't sell this data or advertisements based on it, though it doesn't offer an opt-out option for data collection, setting it apart from some other manufacturers in the home networking space. This consideration is the same for both systems, so this one's a draw.

Winner: Tie

Value

If you're choosing between a $300 three-piece mesh router and one that costs $550, you might assume that the $300 system is the superior value. You wouldn't necessarily be wrong, but with the Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E, the difference is closer than you think.

Let's start with the 6 Plus. At $300, it isn't breaking new ground in pricing. Other dual-band, three-piece mesh systems with Wi-Fi 6 support reached that point first, including the Netgear Nighthawk MK63S available for $227, the Asus ZenWifi AX Mini at $230, and Amazon's own Eero 6. That previous-gen system launched in 2020 for $279 ($20 less than the Eero 6 Plus), and Amazon recently marked it down to $199. None of those systems performed as well as the Eero 6 Plus, giving it a strong claim to value in the $300-or-less category. Few three-piece systems in that price range offer such good performance.

This brings us to the Eero Pro 6E, which presents more of a pricing play than the 6 Plus. At $550, it's expensive but a relative bargain compared to other mesh options with Wi-Fi 6E support. Few are available, but they come with eye-popping price tags -- $900 for a Linksys Velop Atlas Max 6E three-pack or $1,269 for a Netgear Orbi AXE11000 three-pack. Despite its high price, the Eero Pro 6E is a big step forward for Wi-Fi 6E's cost of entry, likely enticing many shoppers looking to add 6E support to their home network.

It is early, though, and Wi-Fi 7 routers are starting to debut that can match or beat the Pro 6E's value proposition. If you're buying now, expect a noticeable uptick in system speeds and slightly faster speeds to Wi-Fi 6E devices (assuming you have any). Is that worth an extra $400? For some forward-looking households, it might be, particularly if you want to get the most out of a gigabit internet plan (the Pro 6E's sweet spot). The Pro 6E value will look better as Wi-Fi 6E continues to mature and reach our phones, laptops, and other devices. But for now, the best value lies with the 6 Plus.

Winner: Eero 6 Plus (but it's a lot closer than you'd think)

The verdict

The Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E are both strong options in the mesh category, and I could easily recommend either to a friend or family member. Both offer fast, consistent speeds, ease of use, a good mix of features, and decent value relative to the competition. I
