Amazon launches eero 7 series Wi-Fi 7 routers in New Zealand
Amazon has introduced the eero 7 and eero Pro 7 Wi-Fi routers to the New Zealand market, expanding its Wi-Fi 7 offerings for local consumers. The eero 7 is now the most affordable Wi-Fi 7 router in the company's range. It is designed to deliver multi-gigabit speeds and enhanced connectivity in a compact and accessible form factor. Priced at NZD $319.99 for a single unit and NZD $699.99 for a three-pack, the device targets customers looking to upgrade to the latest Wi-Fi standard without a high upfront cost. Coverage offered by a single eero 7 unit spans up to 190 square metres, while a three-pack extends coverage to 560 square metres. The device supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and can achieve wireless speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps, with wired speeds reaching up to 2.3 Gbps using its two 2.5 GbE ports. eero Pro 7 features The eero Pro 7 is intended for households with high connectivity demands, such as those that require capacity for hundreds of devices or utilise large amounts of bandwidth. This model features tri-band support across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz, maximising spectrum use to reduce congestion and maintain performance in busy Wi-Fi environments. Its wireless speeds can reach up to 3.9 Gbps, and the device features two 5 GbE ports for wired connections with speeds up to 4.7 Gbps. The Pro 7 is priced at NZD $599.99 for a single unit and NZD $1,299.99 for a three-pack. Both the eero 7 and eero Pro 7 are powered by eero's proprietary TrueMesh, TrueRoam, and TrueChannel technologies. These capabilities allow the routers to adapt in real time to changing network conditions by automatically optimising channel selection, dynamically connecting users to the best available unit, and managing data traffic to avoid interference from neighbouring networks. Technologies and performance The Wi-Fi 7 standard, which both new devices support, brings improved network throughput, increased device capacity, and lower latency compared to previous generations. Features such as Multi-Link Operation, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, and 4K-QAM ensure that more devices can communicate simultaneously and data is transmitted more efficiently. Additional features on both devices include support for advanced encryption and WPA3 security protocols, over-the-air software updates for security and functionality, and backward compatibility with earlier generations of eero products. Both the eero 7 and eero Pro 7 function as smart home hubs and include support for Matter, Thread, and Zigbee devices, allowing users to connect a wide range of smart home products via Alexa. Market context and leadership comments The increasing demand for reliable and high-capacity Wi-Fi has driven interest in mesh and advanced wireless systems in New Zealand households, particularly as more residents work or study from home and rely on multiple connected devices. Jacqueline Lipman, APAC Managing Director at eero, commented on the expansion: "We are excited to bring advanced performance to Kiwi homes through our expanded eero range. Whether customers prioritise affordability or premium features, our lineup meets every household's needs – from powering home offices and streaming across multiple devices to staying connected with family overseas," said Jacqueline Lipman, APAC Managing Director, eero. "As connectivity becomes increasingly essential for Kiwi consumers, the new eero 7 and eero Pro 7 help simplify everyday life by delivering reliable connections in our complex digital world." The eero app, which accompanies the hardware, gives users the ability to set up and manage their networks within minutes, pause internet access, and view connected devices. The app recently underwent a redesign aimed at improving navigation and device monitoring for users. Subscribers to the eero Plus service, available for AUD $15.99 per month or AUD $159.99 per year, gain access to additional security features, parental controls, and internet backup during outages, as well as third-party security software. Each eero router comes with a three-year warranty, and customer support is available by phone or email every day of the week. The eero 7 and eero Pro 7 are available through and retailers such as JB HiFi and PB Tech.

IBA can be the launch pad for future South African boxing world champions, says Ndongeni
South African boxer Xolisani Ndongeni throws a left hook against Hovhannes Bachkov at the IBA Pro 7 card at the Rixos Tersane Istanbul on Wednesday night. Picture: IBA Image: Picture: IBA Xolisani Ndongeni believes the International Boxing Association (IBA) could be the springboard South African boxers have been yearning for to further their professional careers. Ndongeni (33-7, 19 KOs) was one of the main attractions at the 7 card at the Rixos Tersane Istanbul where he was called up as a late replacement after former world title challenger Shohjahon Ergashev pulled out injured ahead of the WBA Intercontinental junior welterweight title fight against the big-punching Hovhannes Bachkov. Despite the 35-year-old, who is known locally as 'Nomeva The Wasp', only having one week to prepare for the fight, he still managed to put up a solid showing against Bachkov by pushing the 2020 Armenian Olympic bronze medalist Bachkov to nine rounds before his corner threw in the towel. 'It is one of those things, you know, that's boxing, that's sport. You win some, you lose some,' Ndongeni exclusively told Independent Media. 'Respect to the champion, he did well, you know. For myself, I pushed, I did well, I have no excuses. I'm not complaining. South African Xolisani Ndongeni was a big hit at the @iba_pro_boxing card held at the Rixos Tersane Istanbul. @IOL @IOLsport — Zaahier Adams (@ZaahierAdams) July 3, 2025 Video Player is loading.

But you know what, I'm a fighter, I have a fight in me.' The 7 card followed up a spectacular day with the launch of the IBA 'Golden Era' earlier in the day with former heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and David Haye in attendance along with American multi-weight champion Terrence Crawford. Ndongeni was elated that he had the chance to step in the ring before such boxing legends and feels that more South African boxers could be granted opportunities under the auspices of the IBA. 'This don't come every time, you know,' he said. 'Being in South Africa sometimes is really difficult. We have a lot of talent, a lot of boxers, a lot of good boxers that can be champions. But opportunities like this, they don't come to many of us.
