Eero and Alexa let you shut down the internet with your voice

Eero, an increasingly popular network extender for the home, is getting a brain transplant. The hardware, which uses attractive white pods and mesh-network technology to extend and boost internet connections to the furthest corners of your home and property, will remain unchanged. But starting Thursday, Eero is rolling out a software update to all existing devices that will, among other things, let Amazon Echo owners pause network access for everyone or individual family members. To do so, they just have to ask Amazon Alexa. You'll turn the internet back on for everyone or individuals through the Eero app.
