• Nice! Placement looks great
  • The eero is receiving a strong signal.
• Placement could be better
  • The eero is receiving a signal, but it could be better. Try moving the eero closer to another eero device.

  • The eero isn’t receiving a connection. Try moving the eero closer to another eero device.

Set location:

Next, the app will ask you to choose a location name for the eero. This can be chosen from our curated list of room names or you can scroll down to ‘Custom location’ to provide your own. For the best experience, we recommend naming your eero devices unique location names to avoid confusion.
