• A Zigbee hub and, on Amazon’s current technical details, Matter and Thread as well.
• Bluetooth streaming is built in, which the original HomePod story did not center.
• Smaller and cheaper than a HomePod when the house already speaks Alexa.

• Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), not Wi-Fi 6.
• eero Built-in is easy to over-read. Amazon’s own limits are 1,000 sq ft and about 100 Mbps.
• Alexa and an Amazon account are the platform.

A router can be compared with another router. It cannot be compared with a lock, a bulb, or a speaker.
