The spacing that keeps a mesh strong, and the too-far mistake to avoid.

Eero is one of the friendliest ways to get strong Wi-Fi into every corner of a house. Instead of one lonely router fighting to reach the far bedroom, you set out a few little pods that work as a team. It is genuinely simpler than the old way, but the app has plenty of buttons and a few of them cost money. This little book walks you through it in plain English. No jargon. No judgment. No rushing.
