How to Set Up Your Device

Before you start to set up your eero 6+ and network, you will need the following:

  • An iOS or Android device with a data connection.
  • The eero app available from the App Store or Google Play Store.
  • A modem or device with an active connection to a Tangerine internet service.
  • An email address.
  • An active mobile phone number.

Step 1: Download the eero app

Download the eero app from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Step 2: Create an eero account

You can sign up to eero using your phone number, email address, or existing Amazon account.

Step 3: Connect your eero 6+

  1. Unplug your NBN box from power and ensure that there are no other devices connected to it.
  2. Connect your eero 6+ to your NBN box from either of the ethernet ports using the ethernet cable supplied with your eero 6+.
  3. Plug your eero 6+ and NBN box into an available power outlet.

IMPORTANT: How you connect your eero 6+ is dependent on your internet technology type. If you are unsure what NBN technology type you have at your address, please check your NBN order email from Tangerine.

Network Connection Types

Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) & Fixed Wireless

Connect the USB-C cable to the power outlet. Connect the Ethernet cable from your eero 6+ to the NBNCo Network Termination Device (which will be fixed to your wall) via its activated Uni-D port. If you are unsure which port has been activated, check your NBN Ready to Go email from Tangerine.

Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) & Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC)

Connect the USB-C cable to the power outlet. Connect the Ethernet cable from your eero 6+ to the NBNCo Network Connection Device.

Configure Your Network

Step 4: Create your eero 6+ network

After pressing 'next' in the eero app, it will begin to look for your eero 6+. The router will flash blue and then present a solid blue light once detected. Select a location for your eero 6+ in the app, then set your network name and password. Other devices will join your network using these credentials. Click 'next' to complete setup.

Step 5: Expand Your Network

When adding your eero device to your network, keep the following placement tips in mind:

  • 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.

Now that your eero network is set up, you can enjoy streaming music, reading, and playing video games online.

Connect Smart Home Devices

You can connect your smart home devices to your eero network once you have linked your eero account with your Amazon account. If you did not link your accounts upon sign-up, you can do so by:

  • Logging into the eero app.
  • Navigating to the Discover tab.
  • Selecting 'Amazon Connected Home.'
  • Tapping 'Connect to Amazon' and logging in using your Amazon account.

Once your accounts are linked, your enabled devices will join the network almost instantly when plugged in and stay connected even when you change your network name or password through the Amazon Frustration-Free Setup.

Custom Settings for Your Network

You can set custom schedules, control internet access, and apply content filters by creating profiles through the eero mobile app.

To create a profile:

  • Select the 'Home' tab and tap the '+' symbol in the top right corner of the screen.
  • Select 'Add a Profile' from the pop-up menu.
  • Add a profile name.
  • Select which devices to add to a profile.
  • Tap 'Done'.

To customise profile settings (e.g., schedule pauses):

  • Select the 'Home' tab and tap the profile or device for which you want to set a schedule.
  • Select 'Add a Scheduled Pause'.
  • Update the schedule name, start time, end time, and frequency for the scheduled pause, then tap 'Save'.

Disclaimers and Terms

Internet connection speeds and availability depend on the speed of the internet plan you have with Tangerine. If your internet plan does not provide you with the maximum supported speed achievable with your eero device, you will not experience that maximum speed. Maximum network speeds, if applicable, reflect combined supported speeds across wired and wireless clients. Maximum wireless signal rates are derived from IEEE 802.11 standard. Specifications assume wired Ethernet connection; your experienced speed may vary when connected to an eero device that is configured as a wireless extender. Eero devices are only compatible for use with FTTC, FTTP, HFC and Fixed Wireless internet access technologies. Coverage estimates are based on normal use conditions. Actual range and performance can vary, and maximum supported speeds may not be available to all customers, due to factors such as local regulations (including power limits), network configuration, interference, connected devices, device usage, building materials, and obstructions. Specifications are based on use of a Wi-Fi 6 or later generation client device. See https://eero.com/legal for more details regarding terms for eero products, software and services.

From 3 May 2023, an eero Secure subscription is provided to each Tangerine customer for 12 months at no additional cost when you purchase an eero device from Tangerine for use in combination with a compatible Tangerine internet plan. The initial 12-month subscription is a promotional period and commences: (1) if you purchase an eero device in combination with a new compatible Tangerine internet service, on the date that service is first activated, or (2) if you have an existing compatible Tangerine internet service, on the date your eero device is sent to you. At the end of this promotional period, your eero Secure subscription automatically converts to a paid month-to-month service and you will be charged monthly in advance at the recommended retail price (RRP) per account current at that time as part of your standard monthly bill until your eero Secure subscription is cancelled. The price of an eero Secure subscription is subject to change at any time on at least 30 days' notice. This offer is only valid for one eero Secure subscription per account at any one time and you will only be charged for one eero Secure subscription per account, regardless of how many eero devices you have purchased from us or connected to your compatible Tangerine internet service. You cannot purchase an eero device or an eero Secure subscription from Tangerine on a stand-alone basis or without a compatible Tangerine internet service. You cannot purchase an eero device from Tangerine without also receiving an eero Secure subscription. However, an eero Secure subscription is provided on a no fixed term contract and you can cancel it at any time by contacting Tangerine. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, as long as it is requested at least 5 days before that date. Otherwise, it will take effect at the end of your next billing period. You can continue to use eero Secure until the date of cancellation. If you cancel your eero Secure subscription, Tangerine will disassociate it from your all eero devices connected to your account and you can continue to use the disassociated device with a compatible Tangerine internet service. However, once this occurs, you cannot reactivate an eero Secure Subscription with Tangerine unless you purchase a new eero device from Tangerine. If you sign up, Tangerine will be your service provider for your eero Secure subscription and will handle all technical enquiries, complaints and servicing. This offer and the provision of your eero Secure subscription are subject to the full offer T&Cs, applicable standard terms of service and policies available on the Policies page of Tangerine's website. Tangerine may cancel, vary or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, except as it applies to customers already receiving it prior to the effective date of change.
