How many eero devices do I need?

The number of eero devices you need depends on the size of your home, its layout, and how your internet is used. Adding more eeros improves WiFi coverage, reduces dead zones, and helps create a more stable connection throughout your home. eero uses mesh technology and TrueMesh to make all devices work together as one seamless WiFi network.

General recommendation

Note: Concrete walls, basements, garages, and multi-story homes may require additional eeros.

When might you need more eeros?

You may benefit from more eero devices if:

  • WiFi is weak in certain rooms
  • Your home has multiple floors
  • You have many smart home devices
  • Multiple people stream, game, or work from home simultaneously
  • You want coverage in a garage, basement, or outdoor area

eero’s mesh network automatically routes traffic through the best available path to maintain stable connectivity.

Common examples

Small apartment or smaller home

If you mainly use WiFi for phones, streaming, and browsing in a smaller home, one eero may be enough.

Families with many devices

Homes with multiple users gaming, streaming, or working remotely often benefit from 2–3 eeros for more reliable whole-home coverage.

Large or smart homes

Larger homes with multiple floors and many connected devices may require 3–4 eeros or more.

Signs you may need additional eeros

Common signs include:

  • Weak WiFi in certain rooms
  • Video calls dropping
  • Buffering while streaming
  • Smart devices disconnecting
  • Poor signal far from the main eero

Placement tips

For best performance:

  • Place the main eero near your modem or fiber box and have it connected through LAN
  • Keep eeros in open spaces
  • Avoid placing them inside cabinets
  • Do not place eeros too far apart
