CNET:

Amazon has agreed to buy Eero, a San Francisco-based maker of home Wi-Fi hardware, the companies announced Monday.

Eero makes simply designed white Wi-Fi pucks that people can plug in around their homes. An Eero Wi-Fi system is meant to provide more reliable Wi-Fi in every nook and cranny of a home, providing better coverage than a single Wi-Fi router.

This is definitely an area many of us wish Apple had taken the lead in developing.
