Eero customers who are irked by internet dead zones will be pleased to see that the company has a Wi-Fi range extender, the Beacon. By simply plugging in a Beacon and following the steps in the app, you can expand your existing Eero mesh Wi-Fi system — and you can add as many Beacons as you need. In addition to strengthening your internet coverage, the Beacon has a built-in nightlight that automatically adjusts to the brightness levels of the room.

One very pleased reviewer said their home is now free from dead spots: "I have five Beacons in my 6,600-square-foot, three-level brick home and I have no dead spots. I also have Wi-Fi outside, about 20 feet from the house. (I haven't tried farther than that.).... With the Beacons I no longer have a problem with slow internet.. We were paying for fiber-optic cable but not getting the benefit until I bought the Eero system. I love it. We have about 12 gadgets (cellphones, iPads, laptops, kindles) and Smart TVs (3) and everything works all at the same time. Great investment."
