If dealing with a single wireless router in your home is a pain, then wrangling multiple ones bridged together for extended range can turn into an exercise in self-loathing.
While simplified range extenders and more powerful routers have somewhat reduced the need for overly complex wireless systems in recent years, Wi-Fi still often remains a plug-and-pray type of situation for those with interference issues or large homes. It's the type of problem that can justify technology-adverse people driving to Starbucks for wireless Internet instead of actually dealing with the issue.
There's a chance all that heartache changes with the release of Eero, a new wireless system designed to cover your entire house and do the job without any hassles. The new wireless router is up for pre-order today and should ship by the summer.
At $125 for each unit or $300 for three, it might be a tough sell to get people to replace existing wireless solutions, but Eero has a few aspects that make it a compelling purchase—especially for less confident technology users.
Eero is a complete system that relies on specific hardware and custom software to relieve current pain points. The micro-sized unit supports all the latest wireless protocols from 802.11G to 802.11AC. It also includes Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy), which lets you set up the unit from a mobile app, and also helps additional units configure themselves. It's one of the first routers on the market to feature this capability.
