Eero Signal Brings Automatic Cellular Backup to Compatible Routers

The USB-C device uses an embedded eSIM to switch service during outages for Eero Plus subscribers.

Overview

  • Eero Signal plugs into USB-C Eero routers that support Wi‑Fi 6 or newer and automatically fails over to cellular using its built‑in multi‑carrier eSIM.
  • The 4G LTE version is slated for early next year in the U.S. at $99.99, with a 5G RedCap model planned for 2026 at $199.99.
  • Using cellular backup requires an Eero Plus plan priced at $99.99 per year, which includes 10GB of backup data annually.
  • Eero also announced an Eero Plus 100 option with 100GB of backup data priced at $199.99, though reports differ on whether that fee is billed monthly or annually, with the latest coverage indicating an annual charge.
  • Eero cites theoretical peak speeds up to 150 Mbps on 4G and 220 Mbps on 5G RedCap and says it is working with multiple major carriers; the Signal functions only as a backup at a single location.
