Amazon slashes Black Friday prices for Eero Mesh Wi-Fi systems

Amazon slashed the prices on Eero Mesh Wi-Fi systems and components for Black Friday.  Wireless network equipment may not sound very exciting, especially if you’re thinking about giving or getting it as a holiday gift. If you think of mesh Wi-Fi as the infrastructure that empowers your digital life, however, you may decide to put a range extender or two at the top of your wish list.

It’s easy to take a good Wi-Fi signal for granted, but without Wi-Fi, or with a wireless signal that is erratic or too slow, many of the forces of tech change would falter or fail. TV cable-cutting, smart home security, and talking to Alexa or Google Assistant all depend on Wi-Fi. Amazon owns Eero, the company that makes the mesh Wi-Fi routers and range extenders in the deals below. Whether you’re buying Christmas gifts for others or want a stronger Wi-Fi signal throughout your home, these seven deals can help you save up to $150.

Eero mesh Wi-Fi router/extender — $29 off


The Eero mesh Wi-Fi router/extender can play one of two roles in strengthening your home wireless signal. Used alone, this dual-band Wi-Fi router blankets up to 1,500 square feet with a strong Wi-Fi signal. If you have a larger home or areas where the wireless signal strength is weak due to building design or interference from appliances or other factors, you can connect one or more additional units.

Normally priced at $99, the Eero mesh Wi-Fi router/extender is just $70 during the Black Friday sale. If you want to get started with multi-band mesh networking, this deal is an excellent opportunity.

Eero Beacon mesh Wi-Fi range extender (add-on to Eero Wi-Fi systems) — $45 off


The Eero Beacon mesh Wi-Fi range extender is an add-on to existing Eero Wi-Fi systems. In addition to extending your home wireless coverage up to an additional 1,500 square feet, the Eero Beacon wall plug-in includes a self-adjusting ambient nightlight. Usually $149, the Eero Beacon mesh Wi-Fi range extender is on sale for $104 during Black Friday.

Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi router/extender — $60 off


The Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi router/extender steps up an additional level from the Eero router above. The Pro model is a tri-band router that manages wireless signals in your home to avoid congestion and to give multiple users simultaneous access. Regularly priced $199, the Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi router/extender is just $139 during for this sale.

Eero mesh Wi-Fi system — router for whole-home coverage (3-pack) — $89 off


The Amazon Eero mesh Wi-Fi system three-pack includes three dual-band router/extenders to cover up to a 5,000 square foot home. If you and your family are moderate internet users, meaning you don’t have multiple games and streaming video and audio using bandwidth, this system is intended to spread even coverage throughout your home.  Ordinarily $249, the Amazon Eero mesh Wi-Fi system three-pack is just $160 during the Black Friday sale.

Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi system (1 Pro plus 1 Beacon) — $90 off

This Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi system consists of one tri-band Pro unit and two dual-band Beacon extenders with nightlights. This setup covers up to almost 5,000 square feet but is best when there are three separate areas in your home each with multiple computers, games, smart home devices, and smart TVs. Normally priced at $399, the Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi system with one Pro and two Beacons is just $279 during this sale.

Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi system — 3-Pack — $150 off

With more people working, studying, gaming, and streaming from home today, it’s important to have fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage at home. Regardless of the size of your home, a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system is one of the best solutions to blanket your house with Wi-Fi.

Unlike a standard router, which broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal over a finite area, mesh networks are able to spread the signal to cover a large home or office.
