Setting up the eero 6+ is simple — you'll just need a mobile phone with an internet connection.
-
Download the eero app on your phone.
- Log in with an Amazon account or create a new one.
- Plug one eero 6+ into a power point, then connect it to your NBN connection box (or VDSL2 modem if your connection type is FTTN or FTTB*) with an ethernet cable. The LED on the eero 6+ will start flashing white. This eero will become the primary device, then any other eero devices you may have will become 'satellite' devices. Any eero device can work as a satellite, even if it's not the same model.
- Tap Next in the eero app. The LED will flash blue, then turn solid blue as the app connects to the primary eero.
- Once the LED is solid blue, select a location for your eero. This will be how you can tell different eero devices apart from the app. At this stage the app may ask for the eero's serial number. This can be found under the barcode on the base marked by an 'S/N'.
- Next, set your Wi-FI network name and password for your other devices to connect with.
- If you only have one eero device, tap Finish setup. If you have other eero devices, tap add another eero device and proceed to step 8.
- To set up the 'satellite' eero devices, tap Next, and repeat steps 3, 4, 5, and 7 for each remaining device.
What do the lights on the eero 6+ mean?
A red LED indicates that the eero isn't connecting to the internet. If this happens, check the Buddy Telco app for outages and make sure the eero is properly connected to your modem or NBN box.
