weaveson Apple Abandons Development of Wireless Routers

It's awesome to see all the discussion here regarding eero and mesh networking as a whole!

If you have been waiting to update your home WiFi, there is no better time than now. I'm excited to share that from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, you'll be able to find eero at a discount, including $100 off a three pack. For those that already love Apple products, I'm confident that eero will be a very comfortable networking solution for you.

We have thousands of happy Apple customers. Plus, if you already use a Time Capsule for backing up your data or an Airport Express for Airplay, you can bridge these to an eero network so you can continue to use these features that may be essential to your current home network.

Let us know if you have any questions! Feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at support@eero.com.

We have engineers focused on each part of the stack (wireless firmware + drivers, core OS, application layer, mobile, cloud, and data) and are pouring our efforts into a single sku. It's time that people had the network they deserve...especially since they run our homes.

@kalessin Nick the Co-founder and CEO of eero here. You're totally correct about 5 GHz - it doesn't get through walls particularly well. That's where having a distributed mesh versus one router is really helpful. By placing a few of our units through your home we're typically able to have 5GHz links between our devices and 5 GHz links out to clients.

Currently Exchange email only, but Gmail support is nearly done.
