How eero mesh WiFi routers connect to the cloud
The eero Home WiFi System uses multiple access points and TrueMesh technology to provide consistent, stable WiFi coverage throughout a home. To ensure high availability and performance of its infrastructure, eero relies on Cloudflare for CDN, security, and high availability services. Eero devices continuously communicate with the cloud, sending device diagnostic data and supporting features in their mobile application. By using Cloudflare as a secondary internet check, eero can test internet availability from every device while maintaining privacy and low costs. This collaboration helps both companies think about specific needs of IoT products and build out features that support scale across millions of devices.
