Full specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Standard | Wi-Fi 6 dual-band |
| Throughput | 640Mbps at 5m, 210Mbps at 20m |
| Ports | 2x GbE per unit |
| Coverage | 140m² per unit |
| Backhaul | 5GHz shared |
| Setup time | 5 minutes |
How we verified these figures
Nothing on this page is copied from a press release. Each unit spends two weeks carrying the whole household, with the previous router boxed. A 2Gbps fibre line, a fixed Wi-Fi 7 laptop client, and the same four positions in a 180m² brick house on every system.
| What we measure | How |
|---|---|
| Throughput at 5m | iperf3 for five minutes, same room, line of sight, averaged across three runs. |
| Throughput at 20m | The same test two floors away through brick, which is where marketing figures collapse. |
| Roaming | Walking a fixed route with a continuous ping, counting dropped packets at each handover. |
| Setup time | From opening the box to a working connection, timed, using the app the maker intends. |
| Device load | Forty-two devices connected, then the 20m test repeated to see what congestion costs. |
We deliberately do not publish combined band totals such as "BE22000", which no single client can ever reach. Every figure here is specific to one brick house. Timber-framed homes will see materially better range.
How it compares in the category
A specification only means something next to the alternatives. These are the networking we have measured under the same conditions.
| Model | Released | Price | Our score | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eero 6+ (this page) | 2022 | £139 | 3 / 5 | Flats and smaller houses where the ceiling is the broadband line, not the router |
| Flint 2 | 2023 | £139 | 4 / 5 | Tinkerers, and anyone who wants a fast VPN at the router |
| UniFi Express | 2023 | £149 | 4 / 5 | A first step into prosumer networking without the usual outlay |
| TP-Link Deco XE75 | 2022 | £229 | 4 / 5 | Most homes — the sensible default unless you have a multi-gig line |
| WRX560 | 2023 | £259 | 4 / 5 | Anyone who wants to see and control exactly what is on their network |
| Asus RT-BE88U | 2024 | £399 | 4 / 5 | Anyone who wants to configure their network rather than accept defaults |
What the spec sheet leaves out
- Sustained performance — the standard figure above is a capability, not a promise about what happens after twenty minutes
- How it behaves when warm, which is where most of the difference between similarly specified networking actually lives
- Software support length, which decides how long this stays usable and appears on no specification sheet we have seen
- The thing we actually noticed most: throughput on the second hop fell to 210Mbps, the largest drop we measured
What the numbers mean in use
Specifications describe capability, not experience. In practice the detail that mattered most was this: throughput on the second hop fell to 210Mbps, the largest drop we measured. That is the sort of thing a table cannot capture.
Strengths on paper and in practice
- The cheapest way into a mesh that actually roams properly
- Setup is genuinely five minutes
- The nodes are small enough to hide
Known limitations
- A shared backhaul halves throughput on the far node
- Gigabit ports only
- Most useful settings need eero Plus
Who this suits
This hardware is a good fit for flats and smaller houses where the ceiling is the broadband line, not the router.
Behind this page
This reference page is written from the same testing notes as the reviews it supports, and it is revised whenever the hardware or the software underneath it changes. Where a figure appears here it has been measured rather than quoted from a specification sheet.
If something on this page no longer matches what you are seeing, it is out of date rather than disputed — tell us and it gets checked again.
