Amazon launches eero Signal — cellular backup for eero routers (IFA 2025)
At IFA 2025, Amazon introduced eero Signal, a new accessory designed to provide cellular backup for compatible eero routers. The device plugs into any USB‑C–powered eero on a network that supports Wi‑Fi 6 or newer and switches to cellular when it detects a home internet outage.
Models & Pricing
- 4G LTE model — $100
- 5G model — $200
Key features
- Multi‑carrier eSIM included — automatically connects to cellular when outages are detected.
- Auto‑switches back to your home internet once it’s restored.
- Requires an existing primary internet connection — not intended as a standalone mobile hotspot.
- Designed for single‑location backup (keeps you online in one place when home internet is down).
Subscription & data plans
- An annual eero Plus subscription is required to use Signal’s benefits: $99/year (includes VPN, antivirus, password manager, and 10GB backup data).
- A higher tier — eero Plus 100 — offers 100GB of backup data for $200/year for customers with frequent outages.
Compatibility & availability
Signal works with USB‑C–powered eero devices on networks that support Wi‑Fi 6 and newer. Announced at IFA 2025; check the official eero store or Amazon for availability and ordering.
