This router gets the basics right, but the gaps are significant. Amazon collects device connection patterns and network health data from Eero routers. If any device on your Wi-Fi gets infected — a kid’s tablet, a smart bulb, a guest’s phone — it can reach your work laptop and banking app on the same flat network.
A C grade is not a sign-off. It means there are real, exploitable issues affecting this network every day.
