Amazon is expanding its reliable eero mesh Wi-Fi system lineup today to include a new model. The brand is taking things outdoors with the weatherproof eero Outdoor 7, which is perfect for extending your internet coverage to outdoor spaces like your backyard, garage, and other outbuildings like a guest house. This new dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 7 access point will be available in time for holidays on November 13 starting at $349.99 shipped as a part of the existing eero lineup. Head below for a closer look and more details on this new outdoor Wi-Fi unit.
The new eero Outdoor 7 access point boasts an IP66 rating and can provide up to 15,000 square feet of outdoor coverage with speeds reaching up to 2.1Gbps. This is ideal for folks who want to extend their Wi-Fi network beyond the walls of their house. It’s a weatherproof unit with an IP66 rating, meaning it can handle extreme temperatures and even jets of water in case you accidentally spray some while watering your plants. It’s said to be rated for temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit and up to 130 Fahrenheit, and it even comes with a new three-year warranty, up from a limited one-year warranty for indoor units.
The eero Outdoor 7, as you can tell from various marketing materials, is designed to be mounted to a wall, and it comes with all the necessary mounting accessories in the box, covering various kinds of walls including stucco, vinyl, wood, and more. It only has a single 2.5GbE port that supports Power over Ethernet, and Amazon has an optional 30W Outdoor PoE Plus power adapter that you can use to plug the Outdoor 7 into an outdoor AC outlet and connect to your existing eero network wirelessly. You’ll be able to get this as a bundle for $399.99 shipped.
An outdoor Wi-Fi access point like this would be a great addition for folks with a sizeable backyard, as it’ll allow them to not only extend Wi-Fi to an outdoor TV or entertainment system but also keep things like security cameras and sensors online without any issues. It’s also great for those with smart home products like sprinklers, garage door controllers, smart locks, and more. The eero Outdoor 7, in case you’re wondering, also works as a smart home hub with support for Thread, Zigbee, and Matter devices.
Amazon’s new eero Outdoor 7 is now up for pre-orders, and it will be available starting on November 13. You can pre-order one starting at $349.99 shipped from Amazon and Best Buy.
