- Is the eero Max 7 worth it over the eero Pro 6E?
- The Max 7 adds Wi-Fi 7, a 6 GHz band and much faster Ethernet ports. If your internet plan is multi-gig or you have Wi-Fi 7 devices, it is the better long-term pick; otherwise the Pro 6E covers most homes for less.
- How much area does a two-pack cover?
- eero rates each unit for roughly 2,500 square feet, so a two-pack suits homes around 4,000 to 5,000 square feet with typical walls. Thick or masonry walls will cut that, and a third unit may be needed.
- Does it work with older Wi-Fi devices?
- Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5 and older devices on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, and it supports WPA2 as well as WPA3.
- Can I use my own modem with it?
- Yes. The eero Max 7 has no built-in modem, so it connects to your existing cable, fiber or DSL modem through its Ethernet port.
- Do I need an eero Plus subscription?
- No for basic routing and mesh. The subscription adds security filtering, ad blocking, parental controls and a VPN, which many reviewers consider the main reason to pay.
- What is in the box?
- Two eero Max 7 units, two power adapters, one Ethernet cable and a quick start guide. Wall-mount hardware is not included.
