The Echo Dot now works as an eero mesh extender — just how good is it?

Echo Dot with Clock review

If you live in a house or even a larger apartment, upgrading to one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems is an absolute must. Unlike with a traditional Wi-Fi router, mesh Wi-Fi systems provide true whole-home connectivity, usually without any Wi-Fi dead zones.

There are exceptions to this though. For instance, if you have a two-piece mesh kit where the router and its satellite can each cover up to 2,000 square feet with a strong Wi-Fi signal but your home is 6,000 square feet, then you may end up with a few dead zones where your connection drops off.
