Great news if you own one of thebest smart speakersin the Echo range comes courtesy ofAmazonitself, which has officially confirmed thatfourth-gen Echo Dotspeakers will soon be able to act as range extenders for Eero mesh Wi-Fi networks.
That means that if you have an Amazon Eero mesh Wi-Fi system in your house - and if you haven’t then you really should consider it as it is one of thebest mesh Wi-Fisystems - then your internet connection is about to get even better for free.
The software update is set to be pushed to all fourth-gen Echo Dot models on October 20th.
The T3 take: A great reason for Echo users to buy Eero, and vice versa
This development just makes perfect sense. Amazon makes both the Echo smart home speakers and the Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems, so having them work together like this to enhance the performance ofbothproducts is just a no-brainer.
It also strengthens the call for Echo users to buy into Eero as their next home Wi-Fi upgrade or, if they own Eero, buy Echo devices (or more of them). The fact that if you had an Eero mesh Wi-Fi network in your home then every new Echo speaker you buy not only deliversits ownfunctionality but also improves Eero’s, soundsreallypleasing to me.
