Even our powerful 900 Mbps package needs a little help to blanket every corner of your home. Wi-Fi signals travel impressively far in open spaces, but walls, floors and furnishings all chip away at strength. Here’s how to extend your coverage without drifting off topic. 🛋
1. Reposition Your Router
Central & Elevated
Place your Eero on a high shelf or chest-height table, in the middle of your home.Keep It Clear
Avoid metal cabinets, thick walls and large appliances nearby.Longer Ethernet? No Problem
If you’re stuck with a single power or wall-box location, run a CAT6 (or above) cable from a more central room, CAT6 handles our full speeds with ease.
2. Consider a Wi-Fi Extender
A lone router can struggle in larger houses. Before splashing out, double-check your router’s position. If you still have patchy spots, add one or better, multiple extenders for true mesh coverage.
Recommended Extenders
Extender Model | Coverage | Top Wireless Speed | Highlight Feature |
eero 7 - | Up to 2,000 sq. | 1.8 Gbps | TrueMesh technology |
Amazon Echo Pop | Up to 93 m² | 100 Mbps | Built-in smart speaker |
Tip: In a substantial home, use more than one extender, position them roughly halfway between your router and the dead-zone.
Standard 3 bed home recommend 1 extender
Standard 4 bed home recommend 2 extenders
3. Remember: Speed Isn’t Distance
Higher speeds don’t magically travel further, but they do give you more stable bandwidth overall.
Extender Trade-Off: Any extender will cap overall Wi-Fi speeds (typically up to 500 Mbps), because it splits and shares bandwidth across rooms and devices.
For True 900 Mbps: Only a wired CAT6 (or above) Ethernet connection guarantees full gigabit performance.
By tweaking placement, adding the right extenders and knowing when to switch to wired you will enjoy a strong, consistent connection from the attic to the garden shed. If you still spot weak spots, our support team is just a message away! 😄
