What You Need Before Setting Up Your Eero Wi-Fi Repeater

Before you begin setting up your Eero Wi-Fi repeater, make sure you have the following:

Eero Router: The main router that is already set up and running your Eero mesh network.
Eero Repeater/Extender: The device you want to use as the Wi-Fi repeater (e.g., Eero Beacon or Eero Pro).
Eero App: The Eero app (available for both iOS and Android) is required to manage and set up your Eero devices.
Internet Connection: Your Eero router should be connected to the internet, and the repeater will rely on this connection to work.
Mobile Device: A smartphone or tablet to use the Eero app for setup.

Step 1: Install the Eero App

The Eero app is the primary tool used to set up, manage, and troubleshoot your Eero Wi-Fi repeater.

Step 3: Power On the Eero Wi-Fi Repeater

Plug in your Eero Wi-Fi repeater: Insert the power adapter that came with the Eero repeater into a power outlet.
Wait for the LED indicator to blink: The Eero repeater’s light should blink white, indicating that it’s in setup mode and ready to connect to your main Eero router.

If the LED does not blink, press and hold the reset button on the Eero repeater for about 10 seconds to reset it to factory settings. The light should then begin blinking white.

Step 4: Add the Eero Wi-Fi Repeater to Your Network

With your Eero repeater powered on and in setup mode, you are now ready to add it to your existing Eero mesh network using the Eero app.

Open the Eero App:
- If you are already signed in, the app should open to the home screen.
Tap the Plus (+) Icon:
- On the main dashboard of the Eero app, tap the plus (+) icon in the top right corner of the screen to add a new device.
Select "Add Eero Device":
- From the options that appear, tap Add Eero Device to start the setup process.
Scan the QR Code or Enter Serial Number:
- The app will prompt you to scan the QR code located on the bottom of your Eero repeater or enter its serial number manually. This ensures that the correct device is added to your network.
- If the QR code does not scan correctly, you can also enter the serial number manually, which can be found on the packaging or on the back of the device.
Follow the On-Screen Instructions:
- The app will guide you through the process of connecting the Eero repeater to your Eero router.
- During the setup, the app will ensure that the repeater is successfully synced with the main router and integrated into your mesh network.
Wait for Confirmation:
- Once the repeater is successfully added to your network, the app will confirm the addition, and the LED on the Eero Wi-Fi repeater will turn solid white.
- This indicates that the Eero repeater is online and functioning correctly.

Step 5: Optimal Placement of Your Eero Wi-Fi Repeater

After setting up your Eero Wi-Fi repeater, it’s important to place it in an optimal location to ensure that it extends your Wi-Fi coverage effectively.

Find the Right Spot:
- Ideally, place the Eero repeater halfway between your main Eero router and the area where you need better coverage. This helps to ensure a strong connection between the router and the repeater.
- Avoid placing the repeater too far from the main router, as this could result in a weak or unreliable signal.
Use the Signal Strength Indicator:
- The Eero app will give you an indication of the signal strength at the location where the Eero repeater is placed. If the signal strength is weak, try moving the repeater closer to the router.
Avoid Obstacles:
- Try to place the Eero repeater in a location where there are few obstacles like walls or large metal objects, as these can block or weaken the Wi-Fi signal.

Step 6: Manage Your Eero Wi-Fi Repeater

Once the Eero Wi-Fi repeater is set up and positioned properly, you can manage and monitor it directly through the Eero app.

1. View and Manage Connected Devices:

In the Eero app, go to the Devices tab to see all devices connected to your Eero network, including those connected to the Eero repeater.
You can pause internet access, prioritize devices, or assign static IPs to any connected devices.

2. Optimize Network Performance:

The Eero app provides network performance statistics and alerts if your Wi-Fi is experiencing any issues.
You can use the Speed Test feature in the app to measure your internet speed and ensure that your Eero Wi-Fi repeater is providing the desired speeds.

3. Firmware Updates:

The Eero app will notify you when new firmware updates are available for your Eero repeater.
Ensure that your device’s firmware is up to date by going to Settings > Software Updates in the app. This will keep your device running optimally and securely.

Step 7: Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you run into any issues during the setup or operation of your Eero Wi-Fi repeater, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

1. Eero Repeater Not Connecting to Router

Check Wi-Fi Signal: Ensure that your Eero repeater is within range of the Eero router and receiving a strong Wi-Fi signal. If necessary, reposition the repeater closer to the router.
Restart the Devices: Restart both your Eero router and Eero repeater to resolve temporary connection issues.
Reset the Repeater: If the repeater isn’t connecting, try resetting it to factory settings by holding the reset button on the device for 10 seconds, then try the setup again.

2. Weak Wi-Fi Signal from the Repeater

Reposition the Repeater: Move the repeater to a better location that’s closer to your router or away from obstructions like thick walls or large appliances.
Check for Interference: Other devices like microwaves, baby monitors, and cordless phones can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Try moving the repeater away from these devices.

3. No Internet Access

Check the Modem and Router: Make sure your Eero router is properly connected to the modem and has an active internet connection.
Check for Outages: Verify that there are no internet outages in your area that could be affecting your connection.
