Linksys just started the update for their Homekit Router, but Amazon has launched its latest Wifi 6 line – eero6, eero 6Extender and eero 6 Pro. The new devices can be used with wifi 6 technology combined with Alexa or Google Assistant to help you smarten up your home!
What is Wifi 6 technology?
WiFi 6 is the newest, fastest and most comprehensive wifi broadcasting technology to date. With its higher performance you can enjoy a better experience using multiple devices at once!
eero uses the latest security protocol in WiFi, WPA3 (a feature of eerolabs) provides an extra layer of password protection and private encryption to keep your network safe.
eero 6
eero are router with TrueMesh technology, which ensures that all of its devices connect wirelessly within range. On both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz wifi bands it creates a dense network connection to optimize traffic for access throughout your home – this means faster speeds than ever before! eero also learns about where you live so theres no need worry about poor coverage or unreliable connections again either because these have been taken care off now thanks in part due to their clever design choices made through innovative software engineering practices applied at every level possible.
Built-in Zigbee hub
With the eero 6 and Pro versions, your router acts as a Zigbee smart home hub. This makes it easy to connect and control compatible devices on your network with Alexa! Connect an Amazon device using its own app after linking accounts- no more complicated set up procedures like before; just turn them both onto their respective networks then say “Alexa” when prompted by each individual product’s software interface (or press buttons if you prefer).
Integrated HomeKit Router
HomeKit is Apple’s proprietary system for smart devices in the home, and according to this article on eero 6 kits it seems that they will also include a Home Kit Router. This means you can add your own router into their already existing product line up which would make them even more competitive with other networking companies!
You can order this eero kit at Amazon. If you also want a modern Wifi Mesh network, you can refer to the Google Nest Wifi kit.
