Who Owns Eero?

Eero was founded in 2014 by Nick Weaver and Amos Meiri in San Francisco, California. The company's first product, the original Eero mesh WiFi system, shipped on February 3, 2015, making Eero the first company to bring consumer mesh WiFi to market. Before Eero, most homes used a single router, which struggled to provide consistent coverage across larger spaces. Eero's approach of using multiple access points that worked together as a single network addressed this problem directly.

The first-generation Eero gained attention for its simple setup, attractive design, and reliable coverage. The company raised venture funding from investors including Menlo Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, and First Round Capital. Eero shipped second-generation products in 2017, adding a smaller form factor called Eero Beacon and improving performance.

In February 2019, Amazon announced its acquisition of Eero. The deal was valued at approximately $97 million according to subsequent reports. The acquisition raised immediate privacy concerns, as Amazon gained access to data flowing through home WiFi networks. Amazon and Eero addressed these concerns by publishing detailed privacy policies and emphasizing that Eero does not track browsing history or sell user data.

Following the acquisition, Eero continued releasing new products. In 2020, Eero introduced the Eero 6 and Eero Pro 6, its first Wi-Fi 6 routers. These models added support for Zigbee smart home devices, integrating Eero more deeply into Amazon's smart home ecosystem. In 2022, Eero launched the Eero 6+ and Eero Pro 6E, adding Wi-Fi 6E support with the 6 GHz band.

In October 2023, Eero introduced the Eero Max 7, its first Wi-Fi 7 product. The Max 7 featured two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 2.5 GbE ports, supporting wired speeds up to 9.4 Gbps and wireless speeds up to 4.3 Gbps. A single Max 7 node covers up to 2,500 square feet and supports 250-plus connected devices. The Max 7 also functions as a smart home hub with built-in Thread border router, Zigbee, and Matter controller support.

In February 2025, Eero celebrated its 10th anniversary by expanding its Wi-Fi 7 portfolio with two new products. The Eero 7, priced at $169.99 for a single unit, is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router supporting speeds up to 1.8 Gbps wireless and 2.3 Gbps wired through two 2.5 GbE ports. The Eero Pro 7, priced at $299.99 for a single unit, is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router with speeds up to 3.9 Gbps wireless and 4.7 Gbps wired through two 5 GbE ports. Both products shipped on February 26, 2025 in the US and UK, with Canada following on March 26 and Australia and Japan later in the year.

The Eero Outdoor 7, designed for outdoor WiFi coverage, rounds out the Wi-Fi 7 portfolio. With the Eero 7, Pro 7, Max 7, and Outdoor 7, Eero now offers Wi-Fi 7 products at four price points from $169.99 to $599.99 per node.

Eero's networking software includes three proprietary technologies. TrueMesh dynamically routes traffic across access points to reduce drop-offs and dead spots. TrueRoam enables seamless device transitions between access points as users move through a home. TrueChannel intelligently selects WiFi channels for optimal performance. These software features, combined with the Eero mobile app for setup and management, have been consistent differentiators since the brand's founding.

As of 2026, tens of millions of Eero devices are deployed across 24 countries. The brand continues to be led by CEO Nick Weaver and operates from its San Francisco headquarters.
