Covers specs, speeds, subscription limits, and who it suits." canonical: https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/amazon-eero-6-plus/ language: en-GB updated: 2026-11-03 score: 8.4 --- # Amazon eero 6+ review > **Our verdict:** The Amazon eero 6+ ranks 6th of the 10 mesh wifi systems we compare, with 8.4 out of 10. No. 6 of 10 in our [mesh wifi systems ranking](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.4 out of 10** The Amazon eero 6+ is a small dual-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh node, set up through the eero app. It suits flats and mid-size homes on broadband up to about gigabit speeds, and anyone who wants a built-in Zigbee hub. Why it's here: - Gigabit ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 in small, tidy nodes - Acts as a Zigbee smart home hub - Setup takes a few minutes in the eero app - Small nodes that blend into a living room Keep in mind: - Dual-band, so no dedicated backhaul - Parental controls and filtering need an eero Plus subscription - No 6GHz band, so newer Wi-Fi 6E and 7 devices run no faster than Wi-Fi 6 devices [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08ZK15LWW) ## Why the Amazon eero 6+ scores 8.4 - How happy owners are: 4th of 10 - How many rated it: 7th of 10 - How new it is: 9th of 10 ### Level with the Mercusys Halo H60X The Mercusys Halo H60X and the Amazon eero 6+ score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Mercusys Halo H60X goes first because it is the newer design. The Amazon eero 6+ leaves owners a little happier. ## About the Amazon eero 6+ The eero 6+ is a Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000) mesh unit. It is dual-band, using 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and it supports 160MHz channels on 5GHz. That is the main step up from the original eero 6. There is no 6GHz band, so Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 devices connect at Wi-Fi 6 speeds. Wired and wireless speeds are rated up to 1Gbps. Each node is a compact white square, roughly 99 x 97 x 66mm. It has two Ethernet ports, and the one nearest the broadband connection acts as the input when a node is the main unit. Power comes from a 15W external adapter. One unit is rated for about 1,500 sq ft (around 140 m²) and 75 or more connected devices. Bluetooth 5.0 is used during setup. The node also has an 802.15.4 radio, so it works as a hub for Zigbee and Thread smart home devices without a separate bridge. Setup and day-to-day control are through the eero app on Android or iOS. Reviewers describe an install of under 20 minutes, with the firmware update taking longer than plugging the nodes in. The basic system works without a subscription. Parental controls, content filtering and the other advanced features need eero Plus, which is a paid plan. Because both radios are shared, the 5GHz band carries traffic between nodes as well as to your devices, so speeds fall as you add nodes and distance. ### Key specs - Wi-Fi standard: Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000), dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz - Channel width: Up to 160MHz on 5GHz - Top speed: Up to 1Gbps, wired or wireless - Ethernet ports: Two per node - Smart home: Zigbee and Thread hub (802.15.4), Bluetooth 5.0 - Coverage (1 node): Up to about 140 m² (1,500 sq ft) - Devices: 75 or more - Size: About 99.4 x 97 x 66mm - Power: 15W external adapter, 100-240V ## What owners report about the Amazon eero 6+ We found very little owner feedback written about this exact model on the pages we could open, so we are not drawing a pattern from owners here. What follows comes from published reviews, and it is not a substitute for owner experience. BroadbandNow's US review describes the setup as quick, guided by the app, and easy for someone who has never configured a router. Speeds are less consistent. The same review measured the fastest results close to the router, with a clear drop behind a wall and a larger one on another floor. It also found the eero 6+ faster than a typical ISP router but slower than the Pro 6 at a distance, and judged it sufficient for plans under about 500Mbps. The older eero 6 has been criticised for having few advanced settings and only two Ethernet ports in total, which is worth checking against your own needs. ## Who the Amazon eero 6+ suits Choose the eero 6+ if you want mesh Wi-Fi that needs no networking knowledge, live in a flat or a small to mid-size home, and have broadband up to gigabit that you do not expect to saturate over Wi-Fi. The Zigbee hub is a bonus if you already use Zigbee bulbs or sensors. Plan on paying for eero Plus if you want parental controls. Look elsewhere for a large house, a heavy wired-and-wireless setup, or gigabit broadband where you want the top speeds across several rooms. The dual-band design and lack of 6GHz limit it there. The Netgear Orbi 770 Series RBE773 has a dedicated backhaul link between nodes. If you want Wi-Fi 7 in an eero, the eero 7 is dual-band Wi-Fi 7, and the TP-Link Deco BE25 is a cheaper Wi-Fi 7 three-pack. ## Questions about the Amazon eero 6+ ### Are eero 6+ good? Yes, for flats and mid-size homes on broadband up to about gigabit speeds. Reviewers praise the quick app setup, but speeds drop with distance and walls, and a US review judged it best for plans under about 500Mbps. ### Does the Amazon eero 6+ have a Zigbee hub? Yes. It has an 802.15.4 radio that works as a hub for Zigbee and Thread smart home devices, with Bluetooth 5.0 and Alexa support. ### Do you need a subscription for the Amazon eero 6+? No, the basic system works without one. Parental controls, content filtering, VPN and the other advanced features need an eero Plus subscription. ### What is the difference between the Amazon eero 6+ and eero 7? The eero 6+ is dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with no 6GHz band, while the eero 7 is dual-band Wi-Fi 7. Wi-Fi 7 and 6E devices run no faster than Wi-Fi 6 devices on the eero 6+. ## All 10 mesh wifi systems, compared | No. | Product | Score | Badge | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | [TP-Link Deco BE25 (BE3600, 3-pack)](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/tp-link-deco-be25-be3600/) | 9.0 | Best Choice | | 2 | [Mercusys Halo H80X (3-pack)](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/mercusys-halo-h80x/) | 8.8 | Value for Money | | 3 | [TP-Link Deco X55](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/tp-link-deco-x55/) | 8.6 | | | 4 | [Netgear Orbi 370 Series RBE373](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/netgear-orbi-370-series-rbe373/) | 8.5 | | | 5 | [Mercusys Halo H60X](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/mercusys-halo-h60x/) | 8.4 | Best Budget | | 6 | **Amazon eero 6+** (this review) | 8.4 | | | 7 | [Netgear Orbi 770 Series RBE773](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/netgear-orbi-770-series-rbe773/) | 8.4 | | | 8 | [Amazon eero Pro 7](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/amazon-eero-pro-7/) | 8.4 | | | 9 | [Amazon eero 7](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/amazon-eero-7/) | 8.3 | | | 10 | [ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16](https://vettedten.com/tech/mesh-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-bq16/) | 8.2 | | ## How we score it Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover mesh wifi systems for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 20 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
