The Mac Observer has some additional questions about the devices, and we will provide more coverage once we have those questions answered.
Eero is cloud based and they keep track of every site you visit. And it’s now owned by amazon. What could possibly ever go wrong with amazon having record of every single internet communication they have, and holding that in the cloud. Nothing could ever go wrong! 🙄
How do they plug into the wall?
Dimensions compared with Eero Beacon?
It must be difficult for you to visit the eero website and do your own research A power supply device is connected to an AC outlet via a power cord and a device power cord goes from the power supply to the device.
Roughly 5.3″ X 5.3″ X 2.1″ from the eero website. These are not Beacons so I am not sure why you would ask such a question.
You are correct. I did not dig deep enough.
I asked about the Beacon, because the Beacon plugs directly into the wall. That is very convenient for bedroom installation. A power supply and cord is not.
