Amazon has introduced a new eero product at IFA 2025, which can provide you with connectivity in case your home internet goes out. The new product called eero Signal connects to any USB-C-powered eero device on a network that supports Wi-Fi 6 and up. It’s meant to be a cellular backup, available two versions: A 4G LTE one that will cost you $100 and a 5G one that will set you back $200. Signal can detect outages and automatically connect you to a cellular network with its multi-carrier eSIM that’s already included with the price of the device. It also switches back to your home internet once it detects that it’s back online.

To note, Signal isn’t meant for standalone use. It’s only meant as a backup that requires an existing primary internet connection and will only work in a single location. The device was designed to keep you connected when you would’ve had no home internet otherwise. You will need an annual eero Plus subscription to be able to enjoy its benefits, though it’s coming to eero Business as well. An annual eero Plus plan will set you back $99 a year for all its perks, including access to a VPN, an antivirus, a password manager and 10GB of backup data. If you live in a place that experiences frequent outages, you can get the new annual eero Plus 100 plan that will come with 100GB of backup data for $200 a year.
