Wireless-Wi-Fi 802.11a, Wireless-Wi-Fi 802.11g, Wireless-Wi-Fi 802.11ac Number of LAN Ports 2 Features Tri-Band eero Pro eero Pro broadcasts on three wireless bands simultaneously
(tri-band wifi). As the gateway of an eero mesh wifi system, the eero
Pro has two auto-detecting Ethernet ports. One connects directly to the
modem and the other port provides the option to hardwire devices like an
Ethernet switch, printer, or video game console. eero Beacon (add-on)* With eero Beacon, simply plug each unit into a wall outlet to
easily expand coverage of your existing mesh wifi network.. Add as many
eero Beacons as needed to provide whole-home wifi coverage. *The eero 6 extender and the eero beacon do not have ethernet ports and can only be added to a new or existing eero network Getting started To start a new eero network, you’ll need to use an eero with
ethernet ports as your network’s gateway. This is the eero that connects
directly to your modem to create your network. From there, you can add
as many additional eeros or eero Beacons as you’d like! Placement Proper placement is critical for optimal network performance.
Get started by connecting your gateway eero directly to your modem. We
recommend placing it out in the open on a hard, flat surface rather than
hiding it in a cabinet, drawer, or closet. From there you can place additional eeros on any hard, flat
surface throughout your home. Desks, tables, shelves, or counters are
great options for eero placement! Please review the eero placement
guidelines located in our help center for additional placement
guidelines. eero Beacons offer even greater placement flexibility. This
compact device is roughly as wide as a standard power outlet. And since
it plugs directly into a wall outlet, there is no need to worry about
finding a surface for your eero to sit on. As an added bonus, eero
Beacons have built-in nightlights, making them a great fit for hallways,
bedrooms, and kitchens. Really, it can go just about anywhere! Size When you look at an eero and eero Beacon, you will notice that
both share a similar body. That is because an eero Beacon is essentially
an eero sliced in half. This smaller form factor makes eero Beacon
ideal for any location in your home, and can simply be plugged into any
outlet. Connectivity A clear difference between eero and eero Beacon is that the
latter has no ports. As we mentioned, you will need to start your
network with an eero as it has two available Ethernet ports. While this
is necessary for starting your network, it isn’t a requirement for
adding additional eeros. If your home is completely wireless, meaning
you don’t wish to connect any of your devices to your home network via
Ethernet, eero Beacons are probably a great fit for you. However, if you do wish to connect any devices back to your
network over Ethernet or your home has Ethernet wiring that allows you
to hardwire your network, you might prefer to use just eeros or a
combination of eeros and eero Beacons. Another key difference between eero Pro and eero Beacon relates
to their radios. eero Beacon is a dual-band device, meaning it has one
2.4 Ghz and one 5.2 Ghz radio. eero Pro (2nd generation) has three
radios, including a 2.4, 5.2, and 5.8 Ghz radio. This means the eero Pro
offers even greater performance and stability. Power eero Beacons are designed for ultimate convenience. Thanks to
their built-in plug, they can easily be placed anywhere in the home.
That also means they are cordless, so one less wire to worry about
running throughout the home.
