Eero for Pro Installers aims to make it easier to set up and maintain a customer’s Wi-Fi network. This service is a 5-year license included with your purchase of an Eero PoE 6 or Eero PoE gateway at no additional cost. You will also have access to Eero Insight features, which allow an installer to monitor the network remotely and even hand off networks to customers.

The Eero for Business service is designed for small businesses that may not have the resources to afford dedicated in-house technical support. Eero Business aims to make it easy to launch and maintain enterprise-grade Wi-Fi networks. With Eero for Business, you’ll be able to set up separate networks (guest, employee, etc.) and even create custom home screens for guests.

An annual license will cost $299 and will include Eero Insight and Eero Secure for Business. This service is expected to launch in early 2023 in the US and UK.
