Amazon eero Max 7

10 spatial streams total (2x2 on 2.4GHz, 4x4 on both 5GHz and 6GHz) is a substantial antenna configuration, and each unit is rated to cover up to 2,500 sq ft, though that figure is theoretical and real coverage depends on walls and layout like any mesh system.

Four Ethernet ports per unit (two 2.5-gig, two 10-gig) is a genuine step up from the budget eero 6+'s more limited wired options, and power comes via USB-C with a 140W adapter, a modern power delivery approach for a router this capable.

Like the rest of the eero lineup, advanced security and ad-blocking features are gated behind an optional eero Plus subscription, core mesh WiFi and basic network management work without one. Buyers should budget for eero Plus if they want the fuller feature set eero markets alongside its hardware.

Against our own Amazon eero 6+, the Max 7's WiFi 7 support, 10-gig ports, and substantially higher throughput justify its considerably higher price for buyers with fast internet plans and larger homes, the 6+ remains the better value pick for typical broadband speeds. Against our Netgear Orbi 970 flagship, both target the premium mesh tier, Orbi's Armor security includes a free trial while eero's Plus subscription has no equivalent free tier, worth factoring into total cost of ownership.
