eero's fastest, most powerful mesh network, featuring Wi-Fi 7
If your home or office is like mine, you need a fast, strong network for videoconferencing, high-res video streaming, and online gaming — as well as smart lights, thermostats, and so on. The eero Max 7 three-module system introduces the newest Wi-Fi standard — Wi-Fi 7. It can deliver speeds up to up to two times faster than Wi-Fi 6, with support for 200 or more connected devices. It's a great way to take full advantage of a multi-gig internet service plan.
Four multi-gigabit Ethernet ports on each module let you make a wired connection to bandwidth-hungry components like TVs, network streaming music players, and gaming consoles. That way you can experience glitch-free 8K streaming and virtual reality gaming with vanishingly low latency.
Tri-band technology for seamless Wi-Fi
This Max 7 system can cover up to 7,500 square feet with lightning-fast, efficient Wi-Fi. It uses the relatively newly opened — and less-crowded — 6GHz band, as well as the legacy 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands to provide an "express lane" for your data. You can add more modules (sold separately) to expand your TrueMesh™ network as your need for Wi-Fi coverage grows. And you can manage access and security with the free eero app.

Features
eero Max 7: The eero Max 7 3-Pack (V010311) utilizes TrueMesh Technology and WiFi 7 to deliver fast speeds and a reliable signal. The eero Max 7 3-Pack can provide up to 7,500 sq/ft of wireless coverage with up to 200+ connected devices. It can be set up as a stand-alone WiFi router or utilized as a WiFi Mesh extender to increase the wireless range of your existing eero Max 7 network system.
Notes:
- The eero Max 7 doesn't replace your modem, it replaces your existing WiFi router. The eero WiFi router plugs into your existing cable or DSL modem. If you have a combination modem/router, you'll be using that as a modem only and disabling the routing function by putting it in bridge mode.
- In order to use eero, you will still need to have an Internet Service Provider (ISP). eero works with all ISPs in the United States and Canada.
- eero Max 7 is backward compatible with other eero network devices and can be used in the same WiFi network system, however maximum speeds will be limited to the older equipment's specifications.
TrueMesh Technology: The eero Max 7 uses TrueMesh technology to ensure your traffic is always moving efficiently throughout your network. This means your devices stay connected no matter where you are at home while getting the necessary speeds to deliver the same great experience. Multiple eero devices can setup throughout your home and act as access points on your home network and function together as a self-sufficient WiFi system. This means that all your eero devices can talk with one another. Whereas with a range extender, it can only communicate with your router, making its expandability limited to the range of your router.
- Unlike the familiar router-to-range extender network configuration, eero Max 7 employs TrueMesh technology that uses multiple access points to provide your home with fast, reliable coverage all on a single network.
- TrueMesh technology knows the signal strength between each eero device in your home and calculates the best path from your device to the internet. If there's a disruption on any part of your network, TrueMesh dynamically reroutes traffic to keep it perfectly balanced. All this happens in the background so you don't notice a thing.
- Generally, the number of eero Max7s recommended & needed is one for every 2,500 square feet to provide coverage throughout your entire home You can add as many eeros devices to your home & modem as you'd like.
WiFi 7: The eero Max 7 uses the power of WiFi 7 (802.11be) to deliver faster speeds, increase your internet's efficiency, and reduce network congestion. WiFi 7 is the latest WiFi technology delivering faster speeds, higher performance, and better support for simultaneous device usage throughout the home than WiFi 6 can provide. WiFi 7 supports 802.11be, 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a. The Max 7 supports 240MHz channels in the 5GHz band and 320MHz in the 6GHz band.
Note: To use the 240/320MHz channel-width feature, devices connected to the eero Max 7 must be 240/320MHz compatible.
- Tri-Band WiFi: Simultaneous tri-band WiFi provides three separate WiFi networks in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, with maximum wireless network speeds up to 4.3Gbps.
- MU-MIMO (6x6): MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) is the latest advancement towards uninterrupted, simultaneous WiFi connections. Devices such as 4K TVs, HD streaming media players, tablets, game consoles, and many more use a lot of bandwidth, and with MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology, the eero system sends WiFi to multiple devices at the same time and same speed. Your whole family can play, stream, and work at once, without experiencing lag or buffering--at up to 2x the speed of a non-MU-MIMO router.
- Beamforming: Beamforming technology helps improve the quality of voice, streaming of video and other bandwidth and latency sensitive transmissions. Beamforming will direct WiFi signals to each of your mobile devices to increase signal strength and coverage. Play video games, listen to music, check emails, shop online, stream HD movies, and more, without having to worry about dropped signals.
- OFDMA: WiFi 7 uses OFDMA technology to clear up any congestion. A single transmission sends data to multiple users in parallel and better fills the WiFi channel. This leads to more efficient use of the channel and lower wait times for users to get their data.
Processor, Memory, & Storage: The eero Max 7 is outfitted with an A73 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and 4GB flash storage.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports: The eero Max 7 features two auto-detecting 10Gb Ethernet ports and two auto-detecting 2.5Gb ports. These, combined with multi-gigabit backhaul speeds, can provide a seriously fast network.
eero App: The eero app (for Apple iOS 12.0+ and Android OS 7.0+) allows you to easily set up and manage your eero Pro 6E WiFi system from your compatible Apple iOS or Android device. You'll be able to view and manage your eero network from anywhere with a network or cellular connection. You'll also be able to easily and securely share your network with guests, or block devices from using your network. In addition, you can schedule or pause internet access to manage screen time. The eero app even offers automatic updates with new features, performance improvements, and the latest security standards for your eero system. The eero app automatically runs a speed test once per day; the results of the latest test can be found at the bottom of the app's home page.
Amazon Alexa Compatible: You can control the eero Max 7 WiFi system with the power of your voice using Amazon Alexa and the eero skill-set. Download the Alexa App (for Apple iOS 11.0+ or Android OS 5.0+) onto your compatible mobile device and install an Amazon Alexa Echo speaker or other Alexa built-in device (sold separately - see Accessories Tab) on your eero network. Now, you can ask Alexa to perform various tasks without needing to open the eero app on your Apple iOS or Android device.
Smart Home Hub: The eero Max 7 can be used with Smart Home Hub, Thread, Matter, and Zigbee devices as a controller.
Advanced Security: eero Max 7 uses the latest security protocol in WiFi. WPA3 provides an extra layer of password protection and individualized encryption to keep your network and data secure. eero also leverages third-party security auditors to keep your network safe. It even works with the global research community to find and fix issues before you experience them.
eero Plus: The eero Max 7 includes a free 6 month subscription of eero Plus ($99.99/year thereafter), providing advanced digital security tools to protect your family online and improve your internet experience.
