The Eero Outdoor 7 comes with fixings and instructional videos for installation onto stucco, vinyl, wood, or fiber cement walls. You can also attach it to a fence or a wooden post if you prefer. The Eero Outdoor 7 supports PoE (power over Ethernet), meaning you can plug a single Ethernet cable<\/a> into the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to deliver both internet and power, though the other end will have to plug into something like Eero\u2019s PoE Gateway ($400)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A wired connection will squeeze the best performance from the Eero Outdoor 7, but means running a cable. If you prefer to connect wirelessly, you\u2019ll need the optional outdoor power adapter, which costs an extra $50. It will use the 5-GHz band to connect to an existing mesh wirelessly, reducing the available bandwidth for devices. If you\u2019re wondering about the lack of 6-GHz, often touted as the main advantage of Wi-Fi 7<\/a>, Eero decided it didn\u2019t make much sense for outdoor Wi-Fi where the range is so vital, and it\u2019s a fair point (6-GHz is relatively short range and requires more power).<\/p>\n
