Is it okay if my eero feels warm?

Like other electronic devices, eeros are expected to get warm when they're turned on and operating. Touching your eero may feel like touching a laptop that's been in use for a while.

To ensure your eero is operating at an optimal temperature:

Keep your eeros out in the open. Avoid containers or small, enclosed spaces. See placement tips at Where should I place my eeros? 

Don't cover your eeros with other objects. Avoid putting anything on top of them or burying them beneath cloth or other material.

Avoid excessive heat or direct sunlight. When you can, keep your eeros out of direct sunlight for most of the day. Also avoid heat sources like fireplaces, space heaters, and incandescent lights.

Avoid soft surfaces. Your eeros work best on stable surfaces, so avoid chairs, cushions, or anything that blocks airflow underneath.

Use the power adapter that came with your eero. Avoid using third party adapters which may not have been tested for compatibility with eero.

If you're unsure if the temperatures you're experiencing are normal and you have multiple eeros in your home, you can always compare the temperature of your eeros to one another. While there may be a slight difference in operating temperature between eeros, significant differences are not common.

If you notice this kind of irregularity or if you have a question about your eero's temperature, contact eero Support.
