My eero supports network speeds up to 2.3 Gbps. What does this mean?

When we communicate the "network speed" for an eero network, this reflects combined supported speeds across both wired and wireless clients. For example, the eero Pro 6E supports network speeds up to 2.3 Gbps.

Customers with an internet service plan providing speeds of at least 2.3 Gbps can experience these speeds across their network. This includes wired devices connected to the remaining Ethernet port (up to 1 Gbps on eero Pro 6E). It also includes wireless devices connected over wifi (up to 1.3 Gbps on eero Pro 6E).

The below graphic illustrates this network speed concept:

Device speed comparison

Other eero models offer different maximum speeds. Check out the chart below for max speeds per eero device.

Device Recommended with ISP speeds up to
eero PoE 7 10 Gbps
eero Pro 7 5 Gbps
eero 7 2.5 Gbps
eero Outdoor 7 2.1 Gbps
eero Max 7 10 Gbps
eero PoE 6 1.6 Gbps
eero Pro 6E 2.3 Gbps
eero 6+ 1 Gbps
eero Pro 6 1 Gbps
eero 6 900 Mbps
eero Pro 1 Gbps
eero 550 Mbps
eero 6 Extender 500 Mbps
Beacon 350 Mbps

Note: The eero 6 Extender and the eero Beacon don't have Ethernet ports and can only be added to a new or existing eero network.

Understanding your actual speeds

The speeds you'll typically see will be lower depending on the device you're using, distance, and whether the nearest eero is wireless. It's important to keep in mind that these are the maximum speeds we've seen with eero.

We like to think of wifi speed more in terms of what you can do with it. eero uses the latest standards to help ensure you're getting the speed you pay for in every corner of every room. It's that perfect combination of speed and coverage that'll let you work, stream, play, or download anywhere in your home.

Speed requirements for everyday activities

Here are the speeds required for some of our favorite activities:

With eero, you'll get the speeds you need for everything you love to do—in every room.

 

DISCLAIMER

Internet connection speeds and availability depend on your internet service provider. If your internet service provider doesn't provide you with the maximum supported speed, you won't experience that maximum speed. Maximum network speeds, if applicable, reflect combined supported speeds across wired and wireless clients. Maximum wireless signal rates are derived from IEEE 802.11 standard. Specifications assume wired Ethernet connection. Your experienced speed may vary when connected to an eero device that's configured as a wireless extender. Coverage estimates are based on normal use conditions. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions. Refer to our eero product comparison for more information about eero performance.
