Is the eero Max 7 worth it over Wi-Fi 6E mesh?

Only if you have Wi-Fi 7 devices or multi-gig internet. For older devices, a Wi-Fi 6E mesh kit covers most homes for much less.

How many units do I need?

One unit suits a small apartment. The three-pack is aimed at large or multi-floor homes where a single router leaves dead spots.

Yes. Each unit has two 10 GbE and two 2.5 GbE ports, so you can wire nodes together for the fastest, most stable mesh.

The eero app is limited. It offers basic profiles and ad blocking but few advanced routing, VPN or QoS controls.

Three eero Max 7 units, power adapters and an Ethernet cable. No wall mounts are included.

Yes, it can mesh with other eero models, though the older nodes cap the network at their own Wi-Fi standard.
