Every year I have been upgrading my eero mesh network. I got my [eero (1st-generation)](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2017/01/03/eero-wi-fi-system-review/) in 2017. And in 2018, I added an [eero Beacon](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2018/01/31/eero-beacon/).

In 2019, I am going to replace the gateway node with an [eero Pro](https://eero.com/shop/individual-eero-pro).

During Black Friday, eero Pro was retailing for **US$139 (S$191)** down from its original price of US$199 (S$273). I got the individual unit from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0777K6F8R/). Since it doesn’t ship directly to Singapore, I shipped it to my favorite freight forwarder, HopShopGo, and got them to ship for Singapore. Shipping to Singapore costs US$18.35 (S$25) with a free upgrade to express shipping (3 – 5 days).

eero Pro is, in fact, eero (2nd-generation). eero Pro has the same design and footprint as eero (1st-generation). Amazon released a cheaper eero to replace the “non-pro” eero product line in September 2019.

There are [four main differences between eero Pro and eero (1st-generation)](https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002916183-What-s-the-difference-between-the-1st-generation-and-eero-Pro-):

- Tri-band: eero Pro comes with three bands instead of two.
- Power Adapter: eero Pro uses a USB-C port for power rather than the usual barrel-style power plug
- Reset button: Instead of push-pin style hole reset, eero Pro comes with a reset button
- USB-C Diagnostic Port: The USB-A diagnostic port has been replaced with a USB-C diagnostic port.

[![eero Pro vs eero (1st-generation) - Back](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49221334822_9446e78523_c.jpg "eero Pro vs eero (1st-generation) - Back")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49221334822_0c89beeff0_o.jpg "eero Pro vs eero (1st-generation) - Back")

eero Pro is designed to get twice the performance of the first-generation eero. The radios in eero Pro are much more sophisticated, and the antennas are better.

However, the processor in eero Pro isn’t significantly much faster than the first-generation eero, 700MHz Quad-Core vs. 1.0GHz Dual-Core. RAM and flash storage stays the same at 512MB and 4GB, respectively.
