Amazon acquires eero, the company behind popular home mesh WiFi systems

eero is a popular mesh home WiFi system that blankets any home in reliable and secure WiFi. With its easy-to-use app, users can set up the whole system in under 10 minutes, share their network, program parental controls, and run speed tests on demand. Amazon yesterday announced that it is acquiring eero to help customers better connect smart home devices.

“We are incredibly impressed with the eero team and how quickly they invented a WiFi solution that makes connected devices just work,” said Dave Limp, SVP of Amazon Devices and Services. “We have a shared vision that the smart home experience can get even easier, and we’re committed to continue innovating on behalf of customers.”

“From the beginning, eero’s mission has been to make the technology in homes just work,” said Nick Weaver, Co-Founder and CEO of eero. “We started with WiFi because it’s the foundation of the modern home. Every customer deserves reliable and secure WiFi in every room. By joining the Amazon family, we’re excited to learn from and work closely with a team that is defining the future of the home, accelerate our mission, and bring eero systems to more customers around the globe.”
