Setting up your eero Beacon is a straightforward process that requires an existing eero network and the eero mobile application.

3. Plug In the eero Beacon: Insert the eero Beacon directly into a standard wall outlet. The device is designed to plug in vertically, minimizing obstruction.
4. Open the eero App: Launch the eero application on your supported iOS or Android device.
5. Add a Device: Follow the on-screen instructions within the eero app to add a new eero Beacon to your network. The app will guide you through the pairing process.
6. Confirmation: Once successfully added, the eero app will confirm that your network has been extended.

3. Operating

The eero Beacon operates as an integral part of your eero mesh WiFi system, extending coverage and maintaining a consistent signal.

• Mesh Network Integration: The eero Beacon utilizes proprietary TrueMesh technology to create a seamless network. Devices automatically connect to the strongest available eero point as you move around your home.
• Automatic Updates: Your eero Beacon automatically receives software updates overnight. These updates provide the latest security enhancements and new features without requiring manual intervention.
• Nightlight Functionality: The built-in 10 Lumen LED nightlight automatically adjusts its brightness. It dims or brightens based on the ambient light in the room, providing subtle illumination when needed.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your eero Beacon, consider the following steps:

• Check eero App: The eero app provides real-time status updates for your network and connected devices. It can often identify and suggest solutions for common issues.
• Restart Device: Unplug the eero Beacon from the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. Allow a few minutes for it to reconnect to your network.
• Relocate Beacon: If a specific area still has weak signal, try moving the eero Beacon to a different outlet, ensuring it is within reasonable range of another eero device.
• Verify Primary eero: Ensure your main eero router is online and functioning correctly. The Beacon relies on the primary eero for internet connectivity.
