![]() Move your wifi router to a room that is closer to your Ring devices, if possible.If your wifi router is inside a cabinet, closet, or hidden behind or under furniture, move it out into the open-at least six inches from any wall.To improve performance, try the following suggestions: Walls, floors, furniture, and appliances all block wifi signals. Wifi signals are weakened by obstructions. If you ever have problems with Live View, a poor device connection, or are missing notifications, keep these factors in mind: They’re available to order starting Tuesday, June 13, and begin shipping in a few weeks.Almost all Ring products use wifi to connect to the internet. A $400 package includes the hub and two Beacons, and a $500 Pro system comes with three Eero hubs. The new Eero kit with one Eero hub and one Beacon is $300. And the Eero ships with a companion app that helps you decide where to position the hubs and Beacons, and sends automatic alerts when something’s wrong with the network. Both the new Eero hub and the Beacon are backward compatible with existing systems, so hubs and Beacons added to legacy networks will work just as well as they would in new environments. For $100 a year (or $10 a month), Eero will prevent smartphones and laptops from “accidentally accessing sites associated with harmful content, like malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.” It comes with enhanced parental controls, too, and VIP technical support with a direct line to Eero’s customer service representatives.ĭespite all the new gear, Eero isn’t leaving existing owners out in the cold. But despite its diminutive size, it’s no slouch - the Beacon provides 20 to 30 percent better performance than the first-generation Eero and packs an LED nightlight that flips on at night automatically.įinally, Eero’s rolling out Eero Plus, a new premium security service that defends against malware and malicious third-party devices. It’s not as powerful as a full-blown hub, but it’s small enough to plug into a wall outlet, and designed to extend the range and coverage of your Wi-Fi network in hard-to-reach places like kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms. The updated Eero hub is also the first to support Thread, the smart home protocol for connected devices. It competes with well-established competitors like ZigBee and Z-Wave, but Eero’s betting its ease of use will win over customers - Thread-enabled devices like connected lights, locks, and doorbells automatically connect to the Eero, and let you control devices with the Eero’s companion app and Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant.Įero’s also introducing new hardware alongside the upgraded hubs: The Eero Beacon. Eero says that all three are reserved for sending and receiving data - unlike the Linksys Velop and Netgear Orbi, the new Eero doesn’t reserve one of the three bands for inter-unit communication. ![]() The new Eero hub is stuffed to the brim with technologies like tri-band radio (as opposed to the first model’s dual-band radio), which can broadcast on three wireless bands at the same time. ![]() ![]() New Level smart lock may be the smallest ever made, but it has tons of features Netgear’s new Nighthawk gaming router brings Wi-Fi 6E speeds to the masses ![]()
