Eero Wi-Fi 6E is a next-generation mesh Wi-Fi system from Amazon’s Eero brand that supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard. It delivers faster speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity by adding a new, ultra-fast 6 GHz band to the existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Wi-Fi 6E technology: Unlocks the new 6 GHz band, reducing congestion and improving performance—especially helpful in busy homes with lots of devices.

• Tri-band mesh system: Creates a seamless, whole-home Wi-Fi network with fast and reliable coverage across every room.

• High performance: Supports up to 2.3 Gbps speeds and can cover up to 2,000 sq. ft. per unit—great for 4K streaming, gaming, and smart home devices.

• Expandable: You can use up to 25 pods in one system (8 recommended for best performance).

• Easy setup and control: Managed through the eero app, with features like parental controls and real-time device monitoring.

• Smart home ready: Built-in Zigbee hub lets you connect compatible smart home devices directly.

In short, Eero Wi-Fi 6E gives you faster, more reliable Wi-Fi with wider coverage and future-proof tech for modern homes.

We recommend using up to 8 pods for optimal performance, but you can use as many as 25 based on your needs.

1. Main Eero (connected to your modem)

• Place in a central, open area—not hidden in a cabinet or behind a TV.

• Avoid placing it in the basement unless that’s where your modem is—Wi-Fi doesn’t travel well through floors.

2. Additional Eeros (for mesh coverage)

• Space each unit about 30–50 feet apart (1–2 rooms away), with minimal walls or obstructions in between.

• Avoid placing them near:

  • Microwaves, baby monitors, or cordless phones.

  • Large metal objects or thick concrete walls.

• Place them waist to eye level (on a shelf or table), not on the floor.

3. Use Wired Backhaul if Possible

• If your home is wired with Ethernet, connect your Eeros via cable—this gives you the fastest and most stable mesh network.

• Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Eero System
  • Unbox and Connect Your Eero Gateway
    • This is the main Eero that connects directly to your modem.
    • Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your modem, and the other into the Eero’s WAN port (usually labeled or color-coded).
    • Plug the Eero into a power outlet.
    • LED should pulse white, meaning it’s ready for setup.
  • Download the Eero App
    • Available on iOS or Android.
    • Search for “Eero” in the App Store or Google Play.
    • You’ll need to create an Eero account or log in.
  • Start Setup in the Eero App
    • Open the app and tap “Set up Eero network”.
    • Follow the prompts:
      • Allow Bluetooth and location access
      • The app will search for your Eero device
    • Name your network (SSID) and create a secure password.
  • Add Additional Eeros (If Using More Than One)
    • Place additional Eero units in central, open areas for best coverage.
    • Plug them into power only (no Ethernet needed unless you’re wiring them).
    • In the app, tap “Add Eero” and follow the prompts to pair them.
  • Complete Setup and Test Connection
    • Once all devices are added, the app will test your internet connection.
    • You can now:
      • See connected devices
      • Set parental controls
      • Create profiles
      • Enable guest network
    • Tips for Best Performance:
      • Place Eeros 15–40 feet apart in open areas
      • Don’t hide them in cabinets or behind furniture
      • Keep them off the floor if possible
