Wifi is the foundation of the modern home.
Without it, nothing works.
eero, an Amazon company, is the first company to deliver a whole home WiFi experience using mesh technology, ensuring there isn’t a home layout or connected device we can’t handle.
Fixing connectivity is, however, just the start.
We’re working on the building blocks of the smart home by designing our own hardware, enabling it with software, and tying it all together to the cloud.
