Is the eero Pro 6E worth it over the standard eero 6?

Yes if you have Wi-Fi 6E devices and want a dedicated 6 GHz band and faster backhaul. The eero 6 is cheaper and fine for older devices.

How many units do I need?

One unit covers a small apartment; two to three suit a typical house. Add units for thick walls or multiple floors.

Does it work with older Wi-Fi devices?

Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 5 and older devices on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Do I need an eero Secure subscription?

No for basic routing and mesh. The subscription adds ad blocking, threat scanning and parental controls.

Can I use it with my existing modem?

Yes. Connect it to your modem by Ethernet and set it up in the eero app.

Does it support wired backhaul?

Yes. The Ethernet ports can connect units by cable for faster, more stable backhaul.
