The eero App is packed with features designed to increase your ability to quickly and easily manage your home network without the need to remember complicated login schemes to make changes to your router settings, while also keeping you mobile by storing all relevant information on your mobile device.
Whether using the app to quickly add a device to your network, troubleshoot connectivity problems, or just reminding yourself what your password is, you can do it all, and much more, using the App.
The app is divided into four major sections: Home, Devices, Activity, and Settings. Each section contains its own features and subpages designed to assist you with different aspects of your network. Read on to learn more about each section and the various features that are included with the eero App.
