Amazon eero Outdoor 7 is a network device designed to extend Wi-Fi coverage beyond the walls of a home or business, providing connectivity for outdoor activities and facilities.

Eero, a specialist in mesh networks and now owned by Amazon, has an extensive product catalog sold on the e-commerce giant’s platform. It has routers, adapters and extenders of various performance and price levels. But until now, I haven’t had a network extender specifically designed for outdoor use.

It is the first of its kind and aims to extend the Wi-Fi signal outside the home. It is designed to withstand adverse weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, rain and snow, and Eero says it has been tested in a variety of environments, “from the heat of Arizona to the cold of Alaska”.

Users can mount the device to many types of walls, including stucco, vinyl, wood and fiber cement walls. It also has a 2.5GbE port he admits Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which means it can be powered by an eero PoE Gateway or a separate 30W outdoor PoE+ power adapter.

Amazon eero Outdoor 7 can cover an area of ​​up to 1300 square meters (we’re always talking about outdoors), but you can scale to whatever is needed with multiple devices, create point-to-point connections, and expand the network. This extender includes the same technology and features found in other eero devices such as TrueMesh, TrueChannel and TrueRoam networks. These features should help ensure that a user’s Wi-Fi works well regardless of location.

The device supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 wireless standard and offers speeds of up to 2.1 Gbps. It also works as a smart home hub and is compatible with Thread, Zigbee and Matter devices.
