While the Pro 6E is no longer the latest and greatest router in Eero's arsenal -- that honor now goes to the Eero Max 7 -- it's still plenty capable. With full support for Wi-Fi 6E and the resulting ability to send signals in the recently opened, ultrawide 6GHz band, plus a WAN port capable of accepting incoming wired speeds as high as 2.5 gigabits per second, it's still one of Eero's most forward-leaning mesh routers. Not surprisingly, it's one of the most expensive, too, ringing in at $550 for a three-pack, $400 for a two-pack or $250 for a single device. That said, Amazon is currently offering 20% off the Eero Pro 6E when you trade in an eligible device.

And the prolific meteor shower known as the Perseids might actually overlap with the other two.
