Amazon has just updated some Echo speakers with cool Wi-Fi powers
Eero router owners can use Echo speakers as a range extender for no extra cost.
Well, this announcement might complicate the research required for my roundup of the best Wi-Fi range extenders. Amazon's router brand, eero, has announced that certain Amazon Echo speakers will now work as range extenders.
By adding in an Echo speaker to your network, you can get speeds of up to 100 Mbps for 10 or fewer connected devices in the 5 GHz band, without needing additional hardware.
To make it work, you just need to have a current eero mesh Wi-Fi system and a compatible Echo speaker. By linking your Amazon account in the eero app, the eero Built-in feature will enable on the Echo speakers when they are needed.
