You can connect a printer to your eero network either via Ethernet or wirelessly. Your printer must support WPA2 AES-based CCMP encryption to connect wirelessly.
How do I connect my printer via Ethernet?
To connect your printer via Ethernet, attach an Ethernet cable from your printer directly to the Ethernet port of any eero in your network.
How do I connect my printer wirelessly?
Your printer must support WPA2 AES-based CCMP encryption to connect wirelessly to your eero network. We don't support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), as it has well-documented security issues. We also don't support older encryption standards like WEP, WPA, or WPA2 TKIP.
To connect your printer wirelessly:
- Check that your printer supports WPA2 AES-based CCMP encryption. Some older printers don't support this and may require a driver update. For most printers, you can find a driver update by searching for the make and model of the printer and downloading the suggested software update.
- Try unlinking your printer from any old network settings it may have, and reconfigure it for your new eero network. Some printers remember stale network settings, like your old router's MAC address, and don't transition seamlessly to your eero network.
