Amazon's Eero Outdoor 7 is a Wi-Fi 7 mesh router designed to eliminate any network weak spots and extend connectivity to outdoor spaces. In fact, it provides coverage of up to 15,000 square feet around it. Indoor Wi-Fi 7 routers can deliver a similar experience, but the Outdoor model is specially built to handle whatever the weather throws at it. The device boasts an IP66-rated weatherproof build, which means it is completely protected against dust and can survive heavy rain.

ZDNET Staff Writer Maria Diaz tested the Eero Outdoor 7 at her home and praised the device for its performance in her review. According to Diaz, the router has an omnidirectional design, ensuring a reliable connection both in front of and behind the unit. You won't have to worry about placing other nodes in precise locations or sitting at a certain spot with your tablet just to get a good connection.
Diaz's house supports a wide range of smart home devices, including Ring security cameras, Echo speakers, and robot lawn mowers. Every single one of those devices stayed connected to the router and saw better performance. Even her sluggish Google Nest Cam loaded instantly while on the network. The Eero Outdoor 7 is a premium router perfect for anyone struggling with weak outdoor Wi-Fi. It's an ideal choice for homes filled with a ton of devices.
