Are all eeros the same?
No. eero offers several models with different capabilities and features, but they're all interchangeable and work together in a network. You'll need a gateway eero with an Ethernet port to connect to your modem, but after that, you can use any combination of eeros to extend coverage.
The currently available eeros are as follows:
