- Is the eero 7 really Wi-Fi 7 if it is dual-band?
- Yes. It uses the Wi-Fi 7 standard, but its 6 GHz radio links eero units together rather than serving your devices. Phones and laptops connect on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
- How many units do I need?
- One unit covers a small apartment or a single floor. Add a second for a larger home or thick walls; eero units mesh together over the 6 GHz link.
- Does it work with older eero units?
- It joins an existing eero network, but mixing models means the older units set the pace for their part of the mesh. A matching pair gives the most consistent result.
- Can I use it with my own modem?
- Yes. It has WAN and LAN ports and no built-in xDSL modem, so it connects to a separate cable or fiber modem.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It is fine for casual gaming, but the dual-band design and lack of MIMO put it behind tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers for low-latency, high-traffic setups.
- What is in the box?
- One eero 7 unit, a power adapter and an Ethernet cable. You set it up with the eero app on your phone.
