A red LED means your eero doesn’t have an internet connection, or your internet service is down. Check that your Primary eero is connected to your modem and that your internet service is working.
What if all my eeros have red LEDs?
Follow the steps in What should I do if my eero network is offline?
What if only one eero has a red LED?
For Primary eero:
Follow the steps in What should I do if my eero network is offline?
For wireless eeros:
- Unplug the eero from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
- If the red LED returns, move the eero closer to another eero in your network
- Review Where should I place my eeros? for placement tips.
- Soft Reset the Primary eero
- See How do I reboot or reset my eero? for instructions
- Connect it to another eero with an Ethernet cable
For wired eeros:
Test your Ethernet connection to identify whether the issue is with the eero, cable, or port:
- Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the offline eero
- Connect the same cable to a laptop or computer
- Check if the device can access the internet
If the device has internet, the issue is likely with the eero:
- Unplug the eero from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
- If the red LED returns, try connecting the eero to a different Ethernet port or cable
- If the red LED persists, perform a soft reset on the eero.
- See How do I reboot or reset my eero? for instructions
If the device doesn’t have internet, the issue is with the cable, port, or your internet connection:
- Try a different Ethernet cable
- Try a different Ethernet port
- If neither works, confirm your Primary eero is online
If you can't resolve the wired connection, try removing the Ethernet cable and placing the eero within range of another eero to connect wirelessly. This is a temporary workaround and won't fix the underlying wired connection issue. If replacing the cable or switching ports doesn't resolve the problem, eero support can help troubleshoot further.
Note: The eero PoE Gateway does not support wireless connections and must be connected using Ethernet or PoE.
