Verdict

The Amazon eero Pro 6E is a tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 6E router featuring an AX5400 speed rating with support for the 6GHz band, 160MHz channels, and over 100 connected devices. It is equipped with one 2.5GbE and one 1GbE auto-sensing Ethernet port, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a built-in Zigbee and Thread smart home hub. Main pros include its simple app-guided setup, multi-gigabit wired input, and low-latency performance for 6E-compatible devices. However, notable cons include the lack of a dedicated wireless backhaul, only two total Ethernet ports, and the requirement of a paid subscription for advanced parental controls and security features.
