When I first learned about Amazon’s eero mesh wifi systems launching in Singapore, I was unsure what to expect. I have had more than my fair share of wifi problems such as dead zones in certain rooms, painfully slow downloads, and unstable connections during important video calls.
It is particularly bad in my master bedroom, to the point that I have to resort to using my mobile data to go online. This has been a perennial pain point for me and my family.
I had tried other routers, extenders, and everything in between, but nothing fully solved the problem. A call to my WiFi service provider was unhelpful as well. Thus when I installed the eero Pro 6E, I was cautiously optimistic, but went ahead anyway.
Setting up the eero Pro 6E was a breeze, thanks to the eero app.
It walked me through every step, from connecting it to a modem to detecting the devices.
The real test was in the bedroom, which had always been a black hole for WiFi. No matter what I tried in the past, the signal just would not reach.
This time? Problem solved.
It worked perfectly.
No more weak signal icons, no more buffering. My son noticed it immediately. His PlayStation 5 in the bedroom used to take over a day to download a 1GB game update. Now? It was done in minutes.
If you are wondering, the Pro 6E is not even their top-tier product. That title belongs to the eero Max 7, which was also launched in Singapore. Here is a quick rundown of both devices:
eero Pro 6E
- It supports multi-gigabit speeds of up to 2.3 Gbps, suffice for streaming 4K content.
- It covers 190 square metres and handles up to 100 connected devices.
- The 6 GHz band keeps my network congestion-free. Even when multiple devices are online, it does not slow down.
- It has auto-sensing Ethernet ports for wired connections when needed.
eero Max 7
- This is for serious users. Think small businesses or homes with heavy internet usage.
- It is built on Wi-Fi 7 and supports wireless speeds up to 4.3 Gbps and wired speeds of 9.4 Gbps.
- It has multiple 10 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, making it ideal for people with advanced setups.
- It can cover 230 square metres and support over 200 devices at once!
What really impressed me are the extras that make living with eero even easier. Here are a few that stand out:
- Easy Setup and Management: I set up the entire network (two eero devices) in under 10 minutes using the eero app. I can manage everything remotely, including pausing the internet for my son when he has been gaming too long (parenting win!).
- Seamless Connectivity: The mesh network ensures that I am always connected to the best signal, no matter where I am in the house. I do not have to switch between networks or worry about drops when I move between rooms.
- Automatic Security Updates: I do not have to think about network security anymore. eero updates itself automatically with the latest features and security patches.
Buying Options and Pricing
For Singapore users, you can buy the eero Pro 6E and eero Max 7 on platforms like Amazon.sg, eerostore.sg, Shopee, and Lazada. The prices are pretty competitive:
eero Pro 6E starts at $359.99 for a single unit. A two-pack is $649, and a three-pack is $799.99.
eero Max 7 is priced at $799.99 for a single, $1,499 for a two-pack, and $2,049 for a three-pack.
If you prefer getting it through your internet provider, some local ISPs like MyRepublic, Simba, and ViewQuest also offer these systems.
I’ve been dealing with WiFi dead zones for ages, especially in my bedroom, so I can totally relate! It’s so frustrating when you can’t even use your own internet properly. I love how easy the setup sounds with the eero Pro 6E, and it’s amazing that it solved your issues so quickly. The fact that your son can download a 1GB update in minutes now is such a game changer! Definitely considering getting one myself. Thanks for sharing your experience — sounds like a solid investment!
