Beginning this November, eero for Service Providers will bring together real-time, actionable insights, advanced security measures and whole-home mesh wifi systems to help ISPs offer fast, reliable wifi and create new opportunities to improve the customer experience.
“Customers want an ISP that can deliver a fast, reliable and secure foundation for their smart home so they can work, learn and play without disruption,” said Mark Sieglock, GM of Software Services at eero. “Today, we’re significantly expanding our current ISP offering to help simplify the customer experience and enable high-performing wifi throughout the whole home.

eero for Service Providers Benefits
eero for Service Providers offers a tailored solution to give ISPs a premium combination of tools at attractive price points, in order to improve customer satisfaction, retention and growth. eero for Service Providers consists of three key elements:
- eero Insight: This all-new premium feature adds on to eero’s existing Remote Network Management software, combining history, aggregation and actionable insights to predict and address customer problems before they escalate. With up to an estimated 30 percent reduction in time spent resolving wifi issues, technicians and service teams can focus on core service-related issues resulting in an overall better customer experience. Advanced IT capabilities include a network topology viewer, historical speed tests and bandwidth usage, RF diagnostics, alerts, audit logs, outage detection, fleet analysis and network health. With a dedicated eero customer service line and API support, service providers will have the tools required to give their customers a reliable, secure wifi experience.
- eero Secure: For additional peace of mind, we offer advanced security and privacy features and parental controls with eero Secure. This security subscription service blocks malware, spyware, phishing and other malicious threats from customers’ devices and is equipped with world-class security protocols, ad blocking, content filtering and connected device security. When eero Secure is deployed with eero mesh wifi systems, eero has seen customer retention increase by up to 40 percent.
- All-new eero 6 Series Mesh Wifi Systems: In addition to our existing series of whole-home mesh wifi systems, we are also offering ISPs eero’s all-new eero 6 series featuring Wi-Fi 6, the latest technology supporting faster speeds, higher performance and more simultaneously connected devices. Featuring a built-in Zigbee smart home hub, the eero 6 series connects compatible devices on customers’ networks so they don’t need a separate Zigbee hub. We also make it easy for customers to self-install in minutes and manage their eero experience with an eero and ISP co-branded mobile app that allows them to pause the internet, share their network with friends or guests, and more.
