What is eero Secure?

eero Secure is a subscription service for all models of eero routers. The service has two different price levels and both offer enhanced security features and parental controls.

The Secure eero basic service costs only $ 2.99 per month, and the highest level of Secure + is $ 9.99 per month. You can save a little money by purchasing an annual subscription, saving around $ 5 for Secure and about $ 20 for Secure +. Additional savings can be found directly from eero in the form of promotional codes from time to time.

What's coming with eero Secure?

eero Secure and Secure + come with the possibility to create family profiles for each member of your home. A profile includes assigning all the devices to a family member, allowing the possibility to interrupt access to the application on the Internet or to an appointment. Safe filters can also be applied to all devices, which prevent access to inappropriate sites and content.

Security lock and threat scans are also available with both levels of Secure eero. In the eero app, you'll have access to an overview of your home traffic, showing the number of scans performed on each device and a breakdown of the blocked content. In terms of confidentiality, eero only shows this data in numerical form; Navigation history is not included.

Do I have to enable these features on each device?

Not! Because all of these options apply at the router level, it is a simple switching alternative, without having to track everyone's devices to configure everything. You can activate these functions at any time.

What applications do I have access to with Secure +?

The upgraded eero Secure + service comes with a suite of applications that can increase the security level for you and your family. One of them is the most popular antivirus application, Malwarebytes, which runs up to three devices in your family.

A free VPN subscription, encrypt.me, also comes with eero Secure +, which is useful for those times when you just need to use public Wi-Fi. Last but not least, it's a 1Password subscription, which is good for up to five household accounts. This password manager securely stores all your passwords in one place, making them easy to find when needed.
