If your network is online but you see a status to check any eeros, make sure the eeros are both powered on and in within range of other eeros. You can quickly identify which eeros are having an issue by finding them outlined in red in the app, as well as the eero having a red LED status.

Your Eero is Connecting to the Internet

When the status of your network is yellow and reads Connecting to the Internet, your eeros are coming back online potentially from a reboot, ISP (Internet Service Provider) outage, or any other situation where your network was just previously offline. You will notice your eero's LED blinking white, turning to a solid white once it is back online.

No Internet

Internet outage

If your eero notices that your ISP is down, meaning your eeros are plugged into your modem and are unable to detect an internet connection, your network status will read Internet Outage.

Having Issues Connecting

Internet connection issue

There may be an issue with your gateway eero being powered on or connected to your modem. Start by checking to ensure that your eero is both powered on and connected to your modem via Ethernet.

Using the Eero LED to Determine Network Health

Your Eero devices have a small LED lamp on their fronts. They change color and may blink to tell you if anything is wrong.
