Eero’s new Max 7 is a powerful Wi-Fi 7-enabled router

Eero has announced a powerful new top-of-the-line router It’s called Aero Max 7. It’s the first Eero router to support the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, and it includes more networking options than a typical Eero unit.

The Max 7 has three wireless bands — 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz — and Eero says the router is capable of wireless throughput of “up to 4.3Gbps” and “up to 9.4Gbps” when Wired. The company says it can cover 2,500 square feet per router or up to 7,500 square feet with three packages. Eero didn’t specify how much channel bandwidth the router can support, but the Wi-Fi 7 specification provides 320MHz channels.

The biggest feature of the Max 7, besides the fact that it supports Wi-Fi 7, is that there are more than two Ethernet ports – a first for the company. The Max 7 has two 10GbE ports and two 2.5GbE ports. Amazon, which owns Eero, says the router will support more than 200 devices. The Max 7 also supports Matter and Zigbee and can act as a thread border router for smart home connectivity.

New Tri-Band Router will be availablelike other Eero routers, comes in packages of one ($599.99), two ($1,149.99), or three ($1,699.99). The company did not specify a release date, saying only that it would be “available soon.” These prices are much higher than the Eero Pro 6E Available in three packs For $399.99 now.

Eero is increasingly being integrated into other Amazon products, such as last year’s Echo Dot, which can act as Eero Wi-Fi extenders. The company also launched dedicated Eero hardware at last year’s event: the Eero PoE 6 and the PoE Gateway. Eero’s routers are known for being easy to set up and use, though they also tend to be restrictive when it comes to repair, with few options for actually modifying your Wi-Fi network if you have more advanced needs.
