Amazon has introduced the eero Signal, a new device designed to maintain internet connectivity during outages by automatically switching to cellular networks. The device plugs into any compatible USB-C powered eero router with Wi-Fi 6 or higher and activates cellular backup only when the primary internet service goes down, reverting to standby once restored. This feature is particularly beneficial for remote workers, security system users, and residents in outage-prone areas. The eero Signal operates on a subscription model that offers cost-effective cellular backup due to its intermittent use. At launch, customers can choose between a $99.99 annual eero Plus plan with 10 GB of backup data or a $199.99 plan providing 100 GB, both available at discounted rates when purchasing the device. Amazon also plans to release a 5G version later in the year priced at $199.99, with support extending to eero Business customers.
