I've been testing the Eero Pro 7 for more than half a year now, and the results have been surprising. I recently upgraded my home network with a pair of Eero Max 7s and one Eero Outdoor, which has been highly effective. I have a lot of connected devices, between 90 and 130 on any given day, including smart home devices, laptops, tablets, and streaming TVs.

My two Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro routers, before the Eero Max 7s, would suffer frustrating drops when handling 75 or more devices. This left us with unexpected "no internet connection" daily alerts on our work computers, TVs, and handheld devices. Switching to a pair of Eero Max 7s immediately remedied this issue.

The Eero Pro 7 can support more than 200 connected devices and features tri-band Wi-Fi 7 for larger homes with more connections than a standard home. Tri-band support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz opens a broader bandwidth for more simultaneous connections, with 6GHz in particular offering faster speeds and reduced congestion.
