eero 7 Review: This Affordable Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System Comes With Compromises

The eero 7 nodes are identical and have the same curvy shape and white finish as the eero 6+ nodes, but at 5.1 by 5.1 by 2.5 inches (HWD), they are slightly larger. (The eero 6+ nodes measure 2.6 by 3.9 by 3.8 inches.) The three-pack reviewed here provides 6,000 square feet of coverage, but if you have a smaller dwelling, you can order a two-pack for $279.99, which gives you 4,000 square feet of coverage, or a single node for $169.99, which gives you 2,000 square feet of coverage.

A small LED indicator on the front of each node glows white when everything is connected and working properly, flashes white during setup, flashes blue when connecting to the app via Bluetooth, flashes green during a firmware update, and is solid red when the node has gone offline.

Around back are two 2.5GbE networking ports (one serves as a WAN port for the router node) and a USB-C power port. Wired backhaul is supported. Missing are the USB data ports that you’ll find on the TP-Link Deco BE63.

The eero 7 has a 1.1 GHz A53 ARM processor, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of flash memory. It’s a dual-band BE5000 system capable of speeds of up to 688Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 4,324Mbps on the 5GHz band. As with the TP-Link Deco BE25 and the MSI Roamii BE Lite systems, the eero 7 does not offer a 6GHz radio band and therefore does not support 320MHz channels. It does, however, support 240MHz channels as well as other Wi-Fi 7 technologies, including direct-to-client beamforming, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) transmissions, and WPA3 encryption. Additionally, this system contains a Zigbee radio and serves as a Thread border router and a Matter controller, making it ideal for controlling home automation devices. It also supports Alexa voice commands.

You manage the eero 7 with the same user-friendly mobile app as the eero Max 7 and eero Outdoor 7. The Home screen displays the name of the network and contains an Internet tab and tabs for each node. Tap the Internet tab to run an internet speed test and tap any node to see the node’s IP address, which clients are connected to it, which band each client is using, and if it is a wired or wireless connection.

Below the node tabs are tabs for each client device. When you tap a client tab, you come to a screen where you can pause internet access, completely block it, configure IPv4 reservation and Port Forwarding rules, enable Client Steering, and enable MLO connections. Here you can also create user profiles, but if you want to assign parental controls to any profile, you’ll have to subscribe to an eero Plus plan, which unlocks age-based content filters, malware protection, VPN services, password management, and more. New users currently get a free two-month trial, but once it expires, it’ll cost you $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year.
