This Is the First Thing Guests Always Ask For (Here’s How to Be Ready for It)
When you have friends over, they hug you hello, take off their shoes, and get comfy on the sofa. You know what comes next: “So, what’s the wifi password?” Sharing the wifi password is a regular part of hosting now. You give your guests fresh towels, extra blankets, and a slice of the bandwidth. And with the right devices, you can make your wifi as reliable as your hospitality.
That’s where eero comes in. eero makes a whole-home wifi system that uses mesh technology (stay with me!) to provide fast and reliable internet coverage throughout your entire home.
Translation: It optimizes wifi performance in every room. Say goodbye to “Sorry, the service is spotty in the guest room” or “You might want to take your video call from the kitchen.” Just a solid, reliable, and secure smart home hub network with wifi that just works — a must when you have guests downloading podcasts, streaming videos, and leading virtual meetings.
Whether you’re hosting for dinner or for a long weekend, eero makes it easy to come together. Here are five tips for keeping everyone connected all holiday season long.
Give Guests Their Own Network
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had to read a series of random letters and numbers to someone, only to mistake the O for a 0 and have to start over. eero’s Guest Access feature not only lets you create a separate network just for visitors, but also lets you share the password directly. No more dictating or looking up complicated passwords — just share via QR code or text link. You also get full visibility to your network and can manage it in the eero app, letting you see how many guest devices are connected. Extra convenience means your guests stay happily online, so you can focus on being a gracious host.
Make Every Room Wifi-Friendly
Guests don’t just stay in one spot — they wander from the kitchen to the guest room to the patio. Your internet shouldn’t stay in one spot, either. The patented eero TrueMesh software, combined with TrueRoam and TrueChannel, proactively keeps everyone on the best wifi connection possible. By putting multiple devices around your home, eero keeps every corner of your home online. You can say goodbye to “dead zones,” because devices connect to the strongest signal. If you live in an apartment building, eero works great in those spaces with dense walls, making sure all areas of your apartment stay seamlessly connected. With eero’s whole-home Wi-Fi 7 solution, buffering, frustration, and dropped video calls with Nana are virtually a thing of the past.
Anticipate a Bunch of Devices
You have more devices connected to wifi than you might realize: phone, computer, tablet, e-reader, TV, voice assistant, speakers, security camera, thermostat, gaming console, smart lighting, automatic pet feeder… It adds up quicker than you might think! Especially when you have a house full of guests who brought all of theirs. The eero 7 supports 120+ devices, and the eero Pro 7 supports 200+ devices. Whichever model you choose, you’ll have plenty of wifi to go around.
Prioritize Who Needs Wifi Most
eero’s Optimize for Conference and Gaming feature automatically prioritizes what matters to you, so devices run smoothly. It prevents any one device from using all of the bandwidth and slowing down the network for everyone else. We’re not saying that video calls outrank someone’s urgent need to stream yet another 4K cat video, but eero knows the difference and won’t let that cat video derail your critical call so you can prioritize what matters most.
Take Control of Your Network So Everyone Can Be Present
You can manage screen time by scheduling or pausing internet access for anyone on your network. Or, you can block devices altogether. For extra peace of mind, add an eero Plus subscription for advanced security, ad blocking, parental settings, and more. eero puts you in total control of your wifi network.
From a cozy movie night to a full house of device users, your home runs better when the wifi does, too. Check out the tech specs of the eero 7 and the eero Pro 7 to see which is right for your space! You can replace your current router with a single eero device, or pair multiple devices to build an eero smart home hub for even stronger extended wifi coverage.
