20 Apr
Summary
- Eero Signal provides automatic LTE backup when home internet fails.
- Setup is simple and managed via the Eero mobile app.
- Two Eero Plus plans offer 10 GB or 100 GB of data monthly.
For remote workers and households reliant on stable internet, Eero Signal provides a crucial backup solution. This device automatically transitions your home network to an LTE connection when the main internet service is interrupted, preventing downtime.
Setup is managed through the Eero mobile app, which also allows granular control over which devices use the backup data. Eero offers two subscription plans for its Signal service: one at $99.99 annually for 10 GB of data, and a premium option at $199.99 per year for 100 GB.
Tested during extensive scheduled maintenance by a local ISP, the Eero Signal successfully maintained connectivity for essential services, including self-hosted websites and video calls. The LTE connection averages 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload speeds, proving sufficient for short-term critical needs. This reliable backup has alleviated stress associated with internet disruptions, making outages a thing of the past for users.
