Tangerine Launches the eero 6+

Note: We have since removed the $2.99/mth eero Secure subscription fee and now provide the eero Secure subscription at no additional cost for use with a compatible Tangerine internet service.*


The eero 6+ represents a major step forward in the world of fast internet and seamless home networking.

With dual band functionality, this Wi-Fi 6 enabled device boasts speeds up to a gigabit (if you have an internet plan capable of supporting this speed) and enough bandwidth for more than 75 connected devices. ¹

Tangerine is proud to be one of a small number of telco providers in Australia to have teamed with eero, an Amazon company, to add the eero 6+ to our product mix.

From Tuesday 9 May 2023, if you have an existing Tangerine internet plan or sign up to a new one, you can purchase an eero 6+ router from us for $159.99 including GST, express shipping and an Eero Secure subscription for 12 months at no additional cost (then $2.99/month per account ongoing). ²

The eero 6+ will give you premium wifi performance for the whole family to stream content, work and download large files all at the same time, with coverage up to 140 square meters (the size of a 1-2 bedroom home). By adding more devices, customers can increase their coverage area. ¹

With its built-in mesh network technology, the eero 6+ allows you to connect multiple eero devices together, creating a unified network throughout your home – helping you to eliminate blackspots, dropped video calls and endless buffering!

The eero 6+ is also backward compatible meaning you can combine previous generation eero devices on the same network as the eero 6+. For peak performance, using eeros of the same generation is best.

The sleek and minimalist eero 6+ works doubles as a smart home hub which connects compatible Zigbee and Thread devices on your network so you can control your lights, locks, plugs and more (account linking required).

eero Internet Backup allows you to temporarily switch over to a backup source - such as a mobile hotspot - to keep you online if your internet goes down. Once the outage is over, your eero 6+ will automatically switch back to your fixed connection.

When you purchase an eero 6+ from Tangerine, we also provide you with a subscription to eero Secure for 12 months at no additional cost, then $2.99/mth per account ongoing.²

Some of the great features available to you with eero Secure include (subject to change from time to time on provision of reasonable notice):

• active threat protection, which helps keep your family safe from accidentally visiting known sites that could lead to phishing attacks and viruses. Every eero device also comes with world-class encryption and security protocols built-in.
• content filtering, which allows you to easily set restrictions for designated devices based on age range—pre-k, pre-teen, teen, and adult—or they can be customized based on content categories.
• block and allow, which lets you prevent particular websites and apps from displaying on certain family members’ devices. So, if you don’t mind a little social media use, but they aren’t quite ready for Snapchat and Reddit, you can adjust access accordingly.
• network insights, which gives you the ability to track data usage, monitor network activity, and see how eero’s been protecting you.
• eero internet back-up, which lets you add alternate wireless backup connections—like a personal hotspot to keep your wifi up and running.

Finally, we also understand how frustrating it is when things go wrong.

With the eero 6+, our ability to help you with troubleshooting is made easier via greater insights available to our customer support team and technicians, as well as the option (with your consent) to access your network remotely to solve problems.

The eero mobile app can help you set up your Wi-Fi in minutes. Simply download the eero mobile app, plug your eero device into your nbn^® device, and the eero mobile app will guide you through the setup. Great for those who are tech novices!

The eero 6+ is a top choice for anyone looking for a fast, reliable and high-performance wifi. Purchase yours today at tangerinetelecom.com.au/nbn/nbn-broadband

¹ If your Tangerine internet plan does not provide you with the maximum supported speed achievable with your eero device, you will not experience that maximum speed. Maximum network speeds, if applicable, reflect combined supported speeds across wired and wireless clients. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions.
