Smart WiFi powered by eero

Every Gigaclear package includes a WiFi 7 eero router as standard, which works well as a fibre broadband router for smaller homes and simpler layouts. If you have a larger property, multiple floors, thick walls or persistent dead spots, Smart WiFi extends that coverage with additional eero units working together as a WiFi mesh system. As a rough guide, Smart WiFi Max covers homes up to 3,500ft² – making it the best WiFi router solution for a large home where a single unit can't reach every room.

All Gigaclear packages include a WiFi 7 eero router as standard. Packages up to 600Mbps come with the eero 7, and packages above 600Mbps come with the eero Pro 7. Both are WiFi 7 routers – the Pro 7 offers additional range and performance for larger homes or higher-speed connections. If you want to extend coverage across your whole home, Smart WiFi adds further eero units to create a full mesh network.

A normal router broadcasts WiFi from a single point, which means signal quality drops the further you get from it. A mesh wifi system like Smart WiFi places multiple connected mesh routers around your home, each one extending and optimising coverage so you get consistent signal in every room. The eero TrueMesh system also self-optimises, automatically routing your connection around interference rather than relying on you to manage it – making it a significant step up from both a standard router and a basic WiFi extender.

WiFi 7 is the latest generation of WiFi technology, included as standard in every Gigaclear eero router. Compared to previous generations, it offers faster speeds, lower latency and better performance in homes with lots of connected devices – which matters more than ever now that the average home has smart TVs, phones, laptops, tablets and smart home devices all competing for bandwidth. In a WiFi 7 mesh system like Smart WiFi, the improvement is even more noticeable because every mesh router in the network benefits from the latest standard.

eero Secure is an optional security add-on for your eero network, £4 a month. It gives you active threat protection, ad blocking, content filters and parental controls, all managed through the eero app. Some packages include it, and you'll see what's included when you order.

eero Plus (£8 a month) includes everything in eero Secure, plus antivirus and identity protection from Malwarebytes, a VPN from Guardian, the 1Password password manager and remote access to your network. You can add either one when you order.

If we connect your property, a trained Gigaclear engineer installs and positions your eero devices at no extra cost, setting them up specifically for your home's layout to get the best possible coverage. If your property is already connected to our network, you'll set up your eero devices yourself using our simple guide. Most customers are up and running quickly.
