Need to make a change to your eero for Business subscription?

Your subscription will continue until canceled. If you do not wish to continue auto-renewing, you must cancel your subscription at least 24-hours before the next billing period begins by using the processes linked below. You can otherwise make changes to your subscription also using the processes linked below.

What happens if I cancel my eero for Business subscription? 

Once your billing period ends, your eero for Business subscription will expire. At this point, you will lose access to all eero for Business subscription features. If you have a "Business" or "IoT" SSID, those SSIDs will no longer be active. If you have an active guest network, that will stay active but will no longer have a captive portal. If you have any port forwarding or IP reservations on the guest, "Business", or "IoT" SSIDs, those will no longer be active. Devices connected to the guest, "Business", or "IoT" SSIDs may be connected automatically to the main network, depending on their configuration.

 

What happens to my eero for Business subscription if I transfer my network to someone else?

If you transfer your network to another owner, this network will no longer be associated with your eero for Business subscription. The new owner will be responsible for purchasing their own eero for Business subscription if they want to continue using the features. If they do not purchase eero for Business, this network will lose access to all eero for Business subscription features. Any “Business” or “IoT” SSIDs will no longer be active. Any active guest networks will stay active but will no longer have a captive portal. Any port forwarding or IP reservations on the guest, "Business", or "IoT" SSIDs will no longer be active. Devices connected to the guest, "Business", or "IoT" SSIDs may be connected automatically to the main network, depending on their configuration. If you do not want to fully transfer your network to another owner and wish to retain ownership of this network, consider adding the other person as an admin on your network instead.
