Getting started with eero One of the biggest frustrations with a traditional router has to be the confusing and complex setup process, so at eero weve taken a different approach: make the entire setup experience as quick and easy as possible. So, whether youre an old hand at networking or are taking your first step into home WiFi, eero is for you. Our app will walk you through the process and do most of the heavy lifting, but heres a quick overview of what to expect. If youre new to WiFi, or just need a refresher, we encourage you to read this article and refer back to it if you have any concerns during in-app setup. Before you begin:
Setup components In the box:
o Ethernet cable o eero(s) o Power cord(s) What youll need:
o eero iOS or Android app o At least one 1st or 2nd-generation eero (eero Beacons cannot be used to start a network) o Mobile device with a data connection (If you don't have access to a data connection, see our workaround instructions here.) Internet service o o Cable or DSL modem (if required)*
Dont know what a modem is? Unsure if you have one? Find out here. Heres how to get started getting your eero network online:
STEP 1: Download the eero app for iOS or Android:
Download the free eero app you can find it on the Apple Store or Google Play. eero supports both iOS and Android (check here for details on the versions we support). Youll need the app to set up your eero network. You wont be able to set up your system on a web browser. STEP 2: Create an eero account Models R010001 draft Confidential and Proprietary 12/15/2021 Youll need to enter your phone number and email address. By default, well send a verification code to your email address, but you can opt to receive it via text message instead instead. Enter this code on the verification screen of the app to create your account. STEP 3: Set up your eero The eero app will guide you through setting up your gateway eero. Its three easy steps:
1. Unplug your modem. If you have other wireless equipment connected to your modem, please unplug it as well. o Note: if you have a modem-router combination device from your provider, you can plug the eero directly into one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the back without powering down. 2. Connect your eero to your modem using the Ethernet cable. You can use either of the Ethernet ports on the back of your eero. 3. Plug your eero in with the power adapter that came in the box, then plug your modem back into power. For placement tips, including DO's and DON'Ts, visit here. STEP 4: Create your eero network Now that youve got everything plugged in, its time to create your eero network. After tapping Next, the eero app will begin to look for your eero. You will notice that your gateway eero's LED will begin to flash blue and then turn solid once found. Once your eero has been detected, you will select a name for your eero (naming the eero after its location is a common choice). If prompted, you may need to enter your eeros serial number, which is located on a sticker attached to the bottom of your eero. Just look for a barcode with the letters SN on it its small, but its there. Once you've selected a name for your eero, you will choose your network name (SSID) and network password. This is how devices will join your network. If youre replacing an existing router, one easy option for choosing a network name (SSID) and password is to simply reuse your current SSID and password. This way, you wont have to reconnect devices that were previously on the network. Keep in mind that running two networks with the same SSID can be problematic. If you have a modem/router combo device, as mentioned above, we strongly encourage you to enable bridge mode on that device. Need help? Give us a call and well walk you through it. Models R010001 draft Confidential and Proprietary 12/15/2021 Tap Next and your eero will complete setup!
STEP 5: Add eeros to your network Once youve set up your gateway eero, the eero app will walk you through steps to set up additional eeros or eero Beacons on your network. The first thing you'll be asked is for a general overview of your home layout. This will help the app properly judge the placement of your eeros. Models R010001 draft Confidential and Proprietary 12/15/2021 eeros can be added wirelessly or by Ethernet backhaul, while eero Beacons can only be added wirelessly. If you need help with placement, weve got lots of tips here. Its a great idea to familiarize yourself with these tips before getting started so that you can optimize placement throughout your home from the get-go. Step 6: Connect devices to your eero network Models R010001 draft Confidential and Proprietary 12/15/2021 One final (and important) step is to remember to connect all of your devices to your new eero network. To do this, simply find your eero network on your device, enter the network password that youve created, and get connected. If youre using the same network name (SSID) and password as your previous router, your devices should automatically reconnect. However, you may need to toggle WiFi on these devices or power cycle for them to recognize the new eero network. If you experience any trouble connecting specific devices to your new eero network, try disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi on the device. If that doesnt work, try rebooting the device and then reconnecting to the network once it powers back on. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to reach out. Were here to help.
