Eero’s Signal is a cellular safety net for your Wi-Fi network

The new Eero Signal could have saved me a lot of headaches when I was dealing with regular internet outages at my home last year. See, Signal automatically detects when your internet goes down and switches your whole Wi-Fi network over to a cellular connection to minimize disruption.

My TVs, the computer in my studio, my kid’s iPad, th

Eero Pro 7 Review: Great Mesh Networking, Even if You Don’t Have Wi-Fi 7

It’s been years since I had consistently shitty Wi-Fi in my home. Around the time that Apple discontinued its AirPort routers in 2018, I cobbled together a mesh network comprised of a second-generation Eero Pro and one of the company’s entry-level Eeros. I’ve upgraded a couple of times since then, getting higher throughput and a couple extra bells and whistles, but generally the experience has been a stable one that’s asked little of me. Now, having spent some time with the Wi-Fi 7-capable Eero

I refuse to go back to reading the back of the shampoo bottle, darn it. Thankfully, a good WiFi 6 mesh system can alleviate
