Amazon’s New Eero 7 Mesh Router Is Cheap, But Not Very Fast or Full-Featured
Amazon has introduced the Eero 7, an entry-level dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router priced at $169, offering a budget-friendly option for users looking to explore the latest wireless technology. Despite its attractive price and user-friendly app for setup, the Eero 7 lacks key features such as a high-performance 6 GHz band and has limited port availability, which may hinder its appeal for more demanding users. As the router competes against similarly priced models, it raises questions about the trade-offs consumers face when opting for lower-cost technology solutions.
- The Eero 7's launch reflects a growing trend of budget-friendly tech options that prioritize accessibility over high-end performance, challenging consumers to weigh cost against capability.
- Will the limitations of budget routers like the Eero 7 push consumers toward more expensive models, or will they find satisfactory performance within these constraints?
