Eero Pro 7 review: Paying to be sold a subscription

Eero’s Wi-Fi 7 mesh offers great wireless performance and easy setup.

Much of what worked with previous versions remains in place here, and for home use, it's excellent.

The Pro 7 ditches the classic body for the same casing found on Eero's super-flagship Max 7.

The vertical design is better for keeping the components cool without a fan, but it is noticeable, especially with prominent branding.

Eero’s app is tidy and well-designed, offering a single pane listing each node and its signal strength.

The app is a textbook case in seizing defeat from the jaws of victory.

Eero puts so many basic features behind a paywall that it's impossible to recommend.

The Eero Pro 6E was similarly limited with Amazon pushing a Plus subscription.

A three -pack of Eero Pro 6Es are priced at $ 550 , and the performance it offers is pretty darn impressive.

It has the same issues as its successor, but the backwards-and-forwards compatibility is a useful bonus.
