Amazon has created a new Eero router that will be available in both the United Staes and Europe later this year for either $99 for one, or $249 for three. The new Eero router will be the first line of routers that Amazon will release since it purchased Eero earlier this year.
The new routers will have new features including the ability to use voice commands to turn on and off Wifi, as well as pause Wifi for different devices as needed. The voice commands will have more functions than what can be used on third party routers. Voice commands and integration with Alexa will streamline managing and setting up existing and new networks. Amazon has not released the details for what kind of network the new Eero router will run.
