Amazon eero 6 (WiFi 6/Mesh System/Dual-Band/Built-In Zigbee Hub) Review

The base eero 6 sits below the eero 6 Plus already on this site, giving Amazon's mesh lineup an even more affordable WiFi 6 entry point for buyers who want the simplest possible mesh setup.

Where the eero 6 Plus and Pro 6E already on this site add features like 160MHz channel support and a 6GHz band respectively, the base eero 6 strips mesh WiFi 6 down to its simplest, cheapest form.

The True Entry Point to eero's WiFi 6 Lineup

Where the eero 6 Plus and Pro 6E already on this site add features like 160MHz channel support and a 6GHz band respectively, the base eero 6 strips mesh WiFi 6 down to its simplest, cheapest form.

Built-In Zigbee, Even at This Tier

Despite its budget position, the base eero 6 still includes Amazon's signature built-in Zigbee smart home hub, a feature the company has kept consistent across nearly its entire mesh lineup.

Comparison to Sibling Products

Against the Amazon eero 6 Plus already on this site, the base eero 6 drops 160MHz channel support for a lower price point. Against the Google Nest WiFi already on this site, the eero 6 offers the newer WiFi 6 standard at a similar budget-mesh price tier.
