Eero Plus 1000: You get 100GB of backup data per month. During the first year, you pay just $99/year for this tier, but during the second year, the price doubles to $199.99 year.
Our Eero Signal review unit was provided with Eero Plus 100 service, giving us access to 100GB of backup data per month.
I tested the Eero Signal’s primary function as a failover if your primary ISP goes offline. To do this, I removed the cable connecting the Eero Pro 7 to my fiber modem. It took about 20 seconds for the lights on the Eero Pro 7 and Eero Signal to change from white to blue, indicating that the latter was now working as an internet backup. I tested internet connectivity across multiple devices connected to the Eero mesh network, and all remained connected without issue.
Another thing to consider is cellular reception. I live outside of a major metropolitan area (Raleigh, NC), so I have solid uptime for my fiber connection and a strong cellular signal. For people who live in areas where their wired ISP might be unreliable, there’s a strong chance that cellular connectivity will be spotty as well. So while a device like the Eero Signal could work in that situation, your performance may vary greatly.
The Eero Signal offers a lifeline to people living in areas with frequent internet outages. Of course, it is only compatible with Eero mesh routers, so you’ll already need to be bought into that ecosystem to take advantage of the functionality.
The device is easy to set up, doesn’t require user intervention to activate if your primary ISP goes down, and the upfront hardware cost is just $99. The $99 Eero Plus plan only gives you 10GB of backup data to use for an entire year, so that option doesn’t really seem cost-effective for the target audience of the Eero Signal. However, the $200/year Eero Plus 100 plan gives you 100GB of backup data per month, which seems like a much better option.
