Eero Systems consist of devices that provide flexible and super fast signals compared to any WiFi device. In the Eero system, there is one main unit called the gateway and another units called the nodes. These all nodes work together to provide better network range in the entire home. One such mesh product by Eero is Eero 6 Extender. If you are not satisfied with Eero System, then you can add Eero 6 WiFi Extender to maximize your network speed and range.
