When adding your eero device to your network please keep in mind the following placement tips:
• After pressing next in the eero app, it will begin to look for your eero 6+. The router will
begin to flash blue and then present a solid blue light once detected.

and network password, this is how other devices will join your network. Click next to
complete set up.
• If you have a dead spot, try to place your new eero device between the dead spot and
another eero device to ensure a strong connection.
• Try not to place your eero device inside a media console or cabinet, behind or
underneath any large furniture.
• Avoid placing your eero 6+ device in front, on top of or under any electronics or appliances
as metal objects can block Wi-Fi signals.
