The eero Pro 7 is eero's mainstream tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router, rated for wireless speeds up to 3.9 Gbps and 2,000 sq ft per unit, with two auto-sensing 5 GbE ports and built-in Thread and Zigbee. Tom's Guide measured 1.9 Gbps at 15 feet and 994 Mbps at 50 feet, the best mesh result in its group. It suits homes wanting easy multi-gig mesh, though each unit has only two Ethernet ports and no USB port.

PositiveReported excellent mid-range speed at 994 Mbps from 50 feet and easy setup at about half the Max 7's cost, but noted only two Ethernet ports per unit and no USB.

Each unit has two auto-sensing 5 GbE ports, so a switch is needed for several wired devices at one location.
Eero says it is ideal for internet plans up to 5 Gbps, with wireless speeds up to 3.9 Gbps per its product page.
Yes. Eero lists Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, Thread and Zigbee radios plus Matter controller support, usable with Alexa.
