Eero’s Outdoor 7 long-distance mesh unit solved our yearslong Wi-Fi quandary in 10 minutes

Quick Summary:

So far in life, I haven’t needed be a “mesh guy.” A well chosen and carefully placed Wi-Fi router has worked fine in our modest abodes, but one particular situation has resisted simple solutions until Eero put out a device in November seemingly made exactly for the purpose.

This won’t be a thorough examination of the whole Eero ecosystem, but I wanted to let others who might have a similar situation know what did and didn’t work.

But the great thing was, even here, beyond reliable range for my phone’s Wi-Fi signal, I was able to scan the barcode on the bottom of the device, sync over Bluetooth, and connect it to the house network within a few minutes of plugging it in.No logins, no 192.168.1.1, no nothing.
