Eero Wi-Fi, networking products now available in Apple Store retail locations

You can now walk into an Apple Store retail location and snag an eero router.

Following the announcement that Eero networking devices were available via Apple’s web store, the company has announced that they’re now available at Apple’s retail locations.

The products vary, such as the eero Mesh Wi-Fi Router, eero Pro Mesh Wi-Fi Router, and the eero Beacon Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender. Eero products also support HomeKit, which means you can impose network security settings for HomeKit accessories.

There are three security levels:

  • Restrict to Home: Most secure. Your accessory can interact only with HomeKit through your Apple devices. The accessory won’t connect to the Internet or any local devices so any third-party services, like firmware updates, might be blocked.
  • Automatic: Default security. Your accessory can communicate with HomeKit and connections recommended by its manufacturer.
  • No Restriction: Least secure. This setting bypasses the secure router and allows your accessory to interact with any device in your network or Internet-based service.

Customers can now purchase Eero products from Apple Store locations in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and United States.
