eero 7: specs and speed limits
The eero 7 is Amazon's dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh unit (eero model PA10001). This page lists its specs from eero's compliance and product pages and its FCC filing (FCC ID 2AEM4-9471214).
Specs
| Spec | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi class | BE5000 | eero |
| Wi-Fi standard | Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) | eero |
| Bands | 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz; no 6 GHz | eero |
| 5 GHz frequencies on grant | 5180–5250, 5260–5320, 5500–5720, 5745–5825, 5845–5885 MHz | FCC grant |
| 2.4 GHz streams | 2x2 | eero |
| 5 GHz streams | 2x2 | eero |
| 2.4 GHz channel widths | 20/40 MHz | FCC RF exposure report p5 |
| 5 GHz channel widths | 20/40/80/160 MHz; grant also names a 240 MHz mode | FCC RF exposure report p4; FCC grant |
| Ethernet | Two auto-sensing 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports | eero |
| Coverage (maker claim) | up to 2,000 sq. ft. | eero |
| Backhaul type | Ethernet or wireless ("eeros can be connected together via Ethernet backhaul, or they can connect wirelessly") | eero support |
| Wireless backhaul band | not yet sourced | — |
| Maximum backhaul rate | not yet sourced | — |
Antenna gain (FCC filing)
| Band | Gain (dBi) |
|---|---|
| 2.4 GHz, 2412–2462 MHz | Ant0 5.41 / Ant1 4.79 |
| 5 GHz, 5180–5250 MHz | Ant0 4.52 / Ant1 3.92 |
| 5 GHz, 5260–5320 MHz | Ant0 5.70 / Ant1 4.56 |
| 5 GHz, 5500–5720 MHz | not yet sourced |
| 5 GHz, 5725–5850 MHz (U-NII-3) | Ant0 5.42 / Ant1 5.33 (2-antenna directional: 4.75 correlated, 2.70 uncorrelated) |
Sources: 2.4 GHz report p5, 5 GHz report p5, U-NII-3 report §1.1, p5.
Source conflict: antenna gain
The RF exposure report's MPE table lists 4.09 dBi for 5.2 GHz and 5.70 dBi for 5.5 GHz (RF exposure report §4.1, p13). The per-antenna test reports list Ant0 4.52 dBi for 5180–5250 MHz and Ant1 5.34 dBi for 5500–5720 MHz (sources in the table above). Both documents are FCC filings for the same FCC ID. The table above uses the per-antenna test reports, and we do not pick one figure as correct.
What this means for speed
- Each Ethernet port is 2.5 Gb/s, so the most TCP data one port can carry is about 2373 Mb/s (computed, RFC 6349 §4.1.1: 2500 × 1460 / 1538). A 2 Gig plan fits under that ceiling.
- Wi-Fi is 2x2 on both bands, which matches most phones and laptops.
- There is no 6 GHz radio, so a 6 GHz phone connects on 5 GHz.
