Why can't the manufacturer create a video as concise yet as simple as this? Thank you so much for answering all the questions that I could not find answers for!
No problem!
Right !
Can’t believe how good you are at explaining things. Thanks man.
Happy to help! Glad it was useful!
I don’t comment a lot but you literally covered everything I was questioning! About to get fiber installed in our neighborhood and I’m thankful I ran Ethernet throughout the house when I got it built so I can do a wired back haul !! Solid video man!
I appreciate the feedback! Yup wired backhaul is typically the preferred route.
This video is amazing. There seems to be a surprisingly low amount of instruction on UA-cam about using mesh with modem/router combos.
Thanks! Yup not many out there
The King of Mesh does it again. Thanks for all the advice over the years.
Lol, appreciate it! I feel like I’m becoming mesh man at this point.
You're truly great in explaining how this works. I gain so much in your video. Now I'm ready to begin my network. Thanks a million
You're very welcome!
Fantastic post!!! Saw at
least 20 YT videos, and
NO ONE talks or more
importantly demonstrates
how to do a Wired Backhaul.
Thank you!
You're welcome! glad it was useful
Literally covered everything I had questions on. Thank you.
No problem!
Finally the video I was looking for! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
You’re welcome
Exactly the video I was looking for and needed. Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
On a gateway you setup the eero first then you go into the ip address and disable the 2.4 and 5 frequencies. Pro tip: setup the routers first then disable the wifi portions. If you're using your cell phone ypu have to tap the link that says advanced options when it prompts you to do so. You have to type the ip adress into your search engine. Also, the more you hardline the less of your wifi you're using. Also it takes about 24 hours for your eero mesh to learn your home.
This was very informative and excellent work on visual demonstration. Magnificent!
Appreciate the feedback!
Soooooo helpful. I bought a ring pro alarm kit and got lost in eero with a medium/ large size house and poor WiFi on the opposite side from the alarm base station. I have a plan and feel comfortable executing. 500$ for the mesh WiFi hardware and cat6 I need was a hard pill to swallow without the information in this video. Thank you!!!!🙏
Oh my god! I have had this problem for about a year and have tried and tried to get them connected. I can't believe it was that simple. Thank you sir.
Glad I could help!
This clearly answered every question I had about setting up eero 6+ mesh with my existing network system. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Thank you for making this video on using the eero mesh routers. This video is what I needed so I can get the best performance on my mesh system 👍
Glad I could help!
Exactly the video I needed to learn more of a mesh system i'm considering to purchase. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This helped more than all the other videos i warded.
glad it was useful, that's my goal.
You saved me a phone to call Frontier my internet provider which I was dreading. Thank you!!!
No problem!
Hell yea, you are the man. Thank you so much for this. Answered every question, gonna get one of these now.
Glad I could help!
Men you just make it simple
You go directly to the point 👉
Thanks
You are awesome at explaining it so none techie people get it. Thanks so much
That’s my goal, just want to explain it so anyone can understand. Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't know about the bridging thing, this info really helped out thanks!
Glad I could help!
Super informative video, thanks a lot. Learned a lot and was able to setup new network with no issues.
Glad it helped!
Totally deserve lots of subscribers.
Appreciate it! Ill keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best
Excellent presentation. You have answered every question i had on this. Thank you
Glad to hear it
@@landpet Can i just buy a single router and get one later and join them together if i end up needing to
@@davenadelman9188 yes
Enjoyed the video, very straightforward.
Thanks
Wow great video. I did everything and my internet was not as good. From watching this video now I know what I did wrong. I didn’t disable the router in my Xfi modem/router combo. Will try that tonight. Thank you
Thanks! That should do it.
@@landpetcan you still connect devices straight to the modem?
where was u when i got my fios bro! i simply had to guess all of ur suggestions while i figured it all out! especially when the dog ate my cat6 cord and still had internet! that really freaked me out lol! good vid and smashed like as suggested
Lol
Great explanation explained it perfect to someone who haven’t got a clue what they doing 👌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Answered all of my questions. Thank you
Happy to help!
Thanks for the clarification!
No worries!
Great vid, thanks!
No problem
Excellent video. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
This helped me a lot! I have been doing modem to switch to eeros, it seems to work. I see at the end of your video to not do that. I will be switching to modem to eeros to switch. Hopefully I see an improvement! Thank you so much!
No problem! If you have a managed switch, it should be ok but that's not good for an unmanaged switch unless your modem is a modem/router combo and that just so haNppens to be the main router and your eero is running in bridge mode which is something I don't recommend.
Nicely explained ! thanks
No problem!
Great video and thanks. I did purchased 2 last week and try to have both of them configured as wired backhaul. The issue is that after a few minutes, one of them connection is changed back from wired to wireless. What I want is to have one SSID and two eero 6 plus to have wired backhaul. Any idea or tips is much appreciated. How to get one SSID but two wired backhaul?
Wow you explain pretty good, very understandable!
Thanks!
Great Video! 👍👍
Thanks!
What a great well explained of how to. Thank you 😊
No problem
Can you plug the eeros into Ethernet ports on the wall to make a wired connection between the two?
Very informative, thanks. What happens if i have a combo router/modem but do not shut off the router part when i connect to a mesh system? Will i be putting out both signals or will it not work?
Yes you will be putting out both signals and things won’t be on the same network assuming the eero even recognizes it. You could also put the eero in bridge mode and just leave your modem router combo enabled
Thank you so much for this video! Incredibly informative and easy to follow! I do have a question regarding speed and wireless backhaul. Say you currently have one eero and a device in another room that gets a download speed of around 250Mbps over WiFi, but it has a gigabit Ethernet port and your ISP give a you gigabit speeds, so it could be much better. If you get a second eero and wire it about 1-2m from the device in a wireless backhaul system, how much better are the downloads speeds likely to look? Would it be closer to gigabit or WiFi speeds?
Thanks, not sure I understand the question, wire the second eero from which device?
I think it’s best to watch my review video on the eero 6+ since I had around gigabit speeds when I did my tests. You can see all the numbers in wired and wireless backhaul.
This is an excellent video as it explained so much! I do have one question though. I’m going to be putting in a contract to build a 2,500sf 2 story house in the next couple months and I’m paying to have a network enclosure installed as well as dedicated Ethernet ports in multiple rooms on all levels. He enclosure includes an 8 port switch. The thing is, the enclosure is in the basement with the modem in the enclosure and then going to the switch. My question is, am I able to go directly from the modem into the 8 port switch and then from there, I can go from the switch to the router or do I have to go from the modem directly to router before the switch? Reason is I’m concerned the router in the basement won’t cover the entire 1st floor above and would have to install an Eero ap on the 1st and second floor which means I would have to get a 3 box solution vs. two. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the great vids
Thanks! If it’s an unmanaged switch, the modem needs to go to the eero first then to the switch.
Awesome thanks for video helped me out.
Glad it helped
Hi, thanks for your explanations. This help me a lot. Y have just on more question. Can I connect 3 eeros directly to the integrated switch of the Internet modem router ?
Awesome Video!
Thanks!
This was super informative. Thank you. Question: I have 3 Eero 6 Pro. 1 is the main one and on app I see it saying "Wired", the others have the wireless sign on, however, I have them both connected to an unmanaged switch. When I go into "Advanced" of one that shows wireless, I do see port 1 Wired. Does this mean that I am "Wired backhaul"?
If you’re connected via an Ethernet cable, then yes you are wired backhaul. Check the other one that shows wireless, do a speed test near it, if it’s as good as the other two then it’s just a bug in the eero app. I remember this being a bug in the original eero 6 (not this new 6+) but maybe it’s here as well.
If i had a modem with more than 1 Ethernet port out, am i able to run multiple eeros as hubs for the same network off that and get full speeds? or would it just make more sense to use a switch?
Great video thanks for the explanation, but I have a question…
In this day and age where everyone wants fast internet, I actually want to deliberately throttle back part of my network…
Network A to have all bandwidth available Network B to be throttled.
Here’s why. I want to share my internet with my neighbours (they can’t afford an internet connection and their kids mow my lawn and run errands etc for me) but I don’t want them eating all of the available bandwidth.
I’m happy with how to connect devices via switches etc etc and plan to introduce a 10/100 switch that I have lying around into the mix. If I use a wired backhaul in Network B connecting an eero via a 10/100 switch, will the eero just use the Ethernet resulting in the throttle or will it try to use the faster wireless front haul IF the eeros can communicate with each other wirelessly - therefore giving my full bandwidth to network B and not the result I want.
Would it be best to direct connect to gaming computer with Ethernet cable and one extender not directly connected to main one or just have extender on desk and use WiFi
Great videos. I am having trouble finding a multi gigabit unmanaged switch with 16 ports. Any recommendations? Ty
Thanks! I'm currently using an 8 port, you could get 2 switches instead of 1, I haven't been looking for a 16 port specifically so not sure. best bet is to check amazon
Thanks. Brilliant vid
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video! However, I have a question. The wired backhaul is the best choice for each node, but how can you do a wired backhaul if the nodes need to be placed far apart to cover the house? It doesn't do much good if they are right next to each other.
Thanks!
Agreed with your statement, hence the point of wired backhaul is that it requires running ethernet cables which is not the easiest approach therefore I show the options with wired and wireless backhaul. In my case, I run wired backhaul and I got a few 100ft ethernet cables that are going through the walls to connect a few rooms to each other ensuring I have the best possible speeds.
So I have a question for you, My girl had these in her home. Long story short, she is now running a Verizon Cube for internet since the 5G speeds are faster than her old cable service. When we hook up to the network, we see the Verizon cube and the newly named EERO network, so when you discuss disabling the modem part of the router (in this case Verizion cube) is that even necessary since were hooking up to the new EERO network? I'm not even sure the modem of the cube even be disabled? I guess I am not clear why the routher part of the modem needs to be disabled if your not hooking up to that "old" network?
Great video! is it better to daisy chain 3 Eero through Ethernet cable(one to another) or to buy a switch and connect two Eero to the switch? Thanks!
Thanks! There’s virtually no difference
Very well done. 👍
Thank you! 👍
I have an old access point located on my celling that I want to replace. I was wondering if can I use power over ethernet vs, the usc plug in power plug that it comes with? I was thinking of getting the eero 6 pro.
Thanks!
This eero doesn't support it, looks like something is in the works: www.amazon.com/eeroPoE6/dp/B09HJNCG81/ref=sr_1_3?crid=23HCDN6CVZJ6A&keywords=eero%2Bpoe%2B6&qid=1677303231&sprefix=eero%2Bpoe%2B6%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-3&th=1
great videos! I have Gateway eero Pro with 2 Beacons. I just bought 2 6+ based on your videos. should i remove my old Pro and connect the 6+ to the router and also remove all the Beacons? Basically, any layout suggestions for a 3 level townhouse? thank you
Thanks! If you’re going wired, then you can just use the 6+ and replace the older stuff. If you’re going wireless, the 6+ is good but there are better options, outside of eero brand.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Great video but I have a question. I have a modem/router combo. Do I put it into bridge mode before or after setting up the eero? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! before setting it up
Hi there! Great presentation!!!! May be I missed something somewhere in your video, so Question. Can I connect my laptop with ethernet cable to one of this routers to make it as wired connection? I have Amplifi HD and it has an extra connections for computer/laptop being wired connected. BTW, I'm not a comp. tech of any kind. Thank you very much in advance!!! Alex
Thanks! Yes you can connect your laptop via ethernet to one of the routers
I got one of these with us cellular, I'm canceling the service because of 600gb of data issue. I have cable modem now I tried to hook the eero to the modem but its not getting internet. Is it disabling the router issue on the cabel modem or because it was used with outdoor antenna set up before? Id like to be able to use it for wifi as they going to make me pay for it anyways.
Does using a powerline adapter create a wired connection
On my way to return my new router. Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Helpful guide
Glad you think so!
So if I have a modem with multiple ports and I want to contact a pc wath is your touts. I should contact with the eero or contact with the modem . Thanks .
I installed 5 Ring flood light security system cameras at a church using the eero 6 router. It won't work as a stand alone router. It is directly plugged into an Arris modem. The satellites (2) as I call them are wirelessly connected.
For whatever reason the eero works through the existing router from the cable/internet provider (Spectrum). They use one of the ports from the router for the phone line/fax machine. I bought a RJ-45 (Ethernet) to RJ-11 (phone) adapter to plug into the spare Ethernet port on the eero backside. I haven't hooked that up yet, however I believe that it should still work on the phone/fax machine. What's your thoughts?
Sounds like you're trying to plug in the eero to a modem/router combo. That will not work unless you either place the router portion of the modem/router combo in bridge mode or disable it. Or if you run the eero in bridge mode. I would recommend calling Spectrum and replacing the modem/router combo with just a modem unless the router is a separate device. If spectrum provided router is a separate device, then you can just remove that and plug in the eero directly to the modem via ethernet. Connecting the other two eero's will just boost the speeds.
Thanks for the awesome video! I am currently using the Google Nest Wifi (nodes with speakers). I am considering upgrading to eero 6 but I am conflicted on which one to get. Pro 6, 6+ or 6E. We have a pretty smart home that is 2200sq ft. I also have gigabit internet from spectrum in southern California. I don't think anything in my house utilizes 6e. I would be using a wired backhaul since all the house is wired for ethernet. Any advice on which one to get? I am currently getting some dead spots in my garage and backyard. I am using a Nest Router and 3 nodes. 2 nodes downstairs and then router and 1 node upstairs. Thanks very much in advance!
No problem. For wired backhaul I would go with the 6+ and get some extra nodes as necessary.
Gigabit is nearly only in like LA and Bay area outside of that nobody is even getting 50 megabyte downloads on the high end.
Can you wireless backhaul with the first two eeros for coverage and run a wired ethernet cable from the second eero to a third into another building?
Yes as long as it’s less than 100 meters away
Great Video. You might have answered this before, but with the eero mesh wi-fi can I still have a "Guest" wi-fi separate with all the benefits?
Yes you can!
I have FIOS and I am using a nighthawk router in place of the verizon router so do I connect the eero to the nighthawk router or do I have to get a modem now to use it?
If the nighthawk is a modem router combo, you can connect it to the nighthawk and run the eero in bridge mode or you can disable the router portion of the nighthawk and run the eero as the main router. Either way you connect the eero to the nighthawk
ok at 11:28 you say i can go from the eero 6 that is connected to the modem and then to a network switch and then to another network switch and then to the second eero 6 and get the same back haul speed. it is not working for me. i have my family room connected to the local netgear switch and that switch connected to the main netgear switch and then to the main eero 6 router in the garage at the modem and the speed at the family room eero 6 is like 25 mbps. now and then it goes to 250 mbps on wifi connections. i switched the routers and i still get it. i ran a cst6 from the garage main router to the family room and still get the same 25 mbps on the family room eero 6 i'm lost. i'm now going to see if the linksys ea7500 router and see if it gets better and maybe toss the eero 6 units. thanks
I loved your video, it explained a lot of current tech that I have no clue of lol
I have a new eero pro 6 connected to my new modem in the house. I have a wall jack in the house that runs out to a second building on the property with a Netgear router. I plugged the eero to the modem and to the wall jack. No connect to the second building. If I understand you correctly I need to connect both the eero to the modem and the wall jack to the modem. Because it doesn’t seem to like my connecting 2 eithernets (eero to jack/jack to Netgear) Modem has one out port. So I can use a Ethernet splitter, correct? This is the only way to get both places to work?
Believe it or not it wouldn’t work because the router in the out building wasn’t working. Swapped it out for the old one from the house and everything works. SMH
Glad it worked out for you.
can a person utilize their current router and use the eero as a secondary mesh add on to boost that signal? I have a nighthawk x6
If you run the eero in bridge mode. But its not something I personally recommend
Very helpful! Thanks!
Just a question - can Eero replace a modem? Also, will there be any drawbacks using an ordinary isp modem? Tia
No problem. An eero cannot replace a modem. Should be fine to use an isp modem
@@landpet thanks for your help! 😊
EXCELENTE MUCHAS GRACIAS 🙂
de nada
If I only have one eero 6+ (received from Frontier) and I have a modem router combo, would I be better off using the eero 6+ as a wireless extender - especially since the other computer is at the other end of the house from the modem/router?
You could put it in bridge mode but it works still need to be connected via Ethernet. I don't recommend that setup
Question… So you said you have your mesh system connected via Ethernet cables for the fastest speeds possible correct?
If so, does that mean you have an Ethernet cable running from the main router to your next available mesh through a 50 or so foot cable to another mesh with another 50 or so foot cable and so on throughout your house?
Cables running all over and up and down walls?
100ft cable in my case, going through the attic
I have an ONT. I use an MoCa ethernet adapter to go from coaxial cable into the Eero Pro 6. This use the wireless connection between the other Eero device in my home. Is it possible to use multiple MoCa adapters and the coaxial cable that runs through my house to create a wired ethernet backhaul to create the fastest possible connection?
I haven’t tried this but yes you can get a third MoCA to boost speeds
Is there something to boost the signal from one wireless eero to another in a multi story building?
That depends on the system you get, this is a dual band system so the wireless backhaul speeds are typically not as good as a triband or quadband system that has more bands to support faster speeds. With that said, for a dual band system, this thing is amazing. I've done comparison videos between mesh systems where I go into depth and show test results for speed in wired and wireless backhaul as well as range if you're interested. ua-cam.com/video/tIDw1ks15ZY/v-deo.html
I have many videos on this type of subject.
Do you recommend to use the eero router w the spectrums modem? I don’t want to be paying that $7 monthly fee!
In the Uk we don’t have to worry about modem/routers in the UK as they provide the required equipment for you to connect to internet via Ethernet or WiFi
Good idea, I’m also not a fan of paying a monthly fee for routers
Am I missing something, I have Gig internet service. I am using eero pro, which tops at 250mbs on WiFi, I average 200-250 mbs with it. I recently purchased the Asus XD5, with rated higher WiFi speeds. I average 350-400 mbs even with my Gig service.
If I purchase the eero pro 6+, I assume my speeds will still be 350-400mbs?? Any help would be great
very good
Thanks
So I only have one eero. How would I get that to extend the wifi to the other end of my house? Does it need to be plugged into the modem at all times or can I unplug it and move it to a different room?
The main eero needs to be plugged in to the modem. You need more than one to extend the signal, the secondary eeros don’t have to be connected via ethernet
Can i connect the nodes with cables to the router or do i need to go through a switch?
Either way works
Subscription added
Thanks!
Question would there be any benefit to using a cat 6a cable for the router and its devices linking to it such as a ps5?
cat 6a is capable of 10Gbps, this eero 6+ caps at gigabit so there would be no benefit assuming you have cat5E or above.
@@landpet Thank you for this information much appreciated.
Hello, great videos! I have a couple questions. I am curious what the most efficient way using this system to connect my wireless security camera that’s outside in my shed to the system. I have power outlets in my outside shed also so power isn’t an issue. It’s roughly 75 feet away from my main modem. Also I was wondering if I can handle this fast with two eero 6 + or will three eero 6 + be a better option. Thank you.
Thanks! It all depends how many walls there are in between the camera and the eero. You can start with 2 and move up to 3 if it’s not enough. If your home is larger than 2K sq ft, I would start looking at getting 3 units.
Thanks for the quick reply! So I am looking for max distance the house is about 1600sq I watched your video where you compared the 6+ & Pro 6E if I decide to go with three units which model do you recommend. I’m looking for the model the will reach the furthest. I believe the pro+ performed slightly better in regards to distance but I wasn’t too sure so wanting to get your opinion before purchasing. I already have my cat cords and unmanaged unit thanks for the tips!
@@mikebrown2562 np, pro 6e does have greater range compared to the 6+. You may be fine with a 2 pack for 1600sq ft
Thank you. Now my shed is about 75ft behind my house. Any recommendations on the set up to accommodate this? Just needing to connect my wireless camera in the shed.
@@mikebrown2562 Let me start by saying I have tried a lot of TP-Link Deco products and most of them perform extremely well. Now they have this new one which I haven't tried called the Deco X50 Outdoor which is designed to be placed outdoors. So if you haven't purchased any eero systems. I would consider getting a Deco system the Deco PX50 and get 2 Deco X50 Outdoor units. These can all be combined within the Deco app. Now the outdoor unit you can place just outside your home and the other X50 outdoor unit you can place right by your shed. That should be able to get you more than enough of a signal to get your camera working. In fact you probably can get away with just one Deco X50 outdoor unit if you're just trying to get a camera to show up. Again I have not tried this particular unit but I imagine it should work just fine.
Say you have a dual band wifi motem/router(1 piece of equipment) and you just want to extend the range of that with 1 eero. Could you just connect 1 eero to that unit put it across the house and have both of them mesh together for you wifi?
If that’s your goal, I would just get a regular extender. I wouldn’t get an eero for that.
I have an important question to you please. When I use 3 Eeros in Bridge Mode - Can I go from Modem/Router into a Switch and from the Switch into the 3 Eeros? Or do I still have to follow the rule that Modem/Router has to go first into one Eero and from this one I can go to a Switch and then into the other 2 Eeros?
You can do that however the eeros need to be wired to each other in that case. Make sure you set bridge mode in eero app
Modem/router combo -> switch -> eero > another switch to 2 eeros
Or
Modem/router combo > switch > eero > eero > eero
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to prepare. Greatly appreciated. Quick question. If using a wireless mesh setup. You mentioned the device will automatically connect to the next node. Is there a way of identifying which node the device is connected to? Thanks
No problem. Its in the app typically
@@landpet were is that then ?
@@RayMondElec I'm currently not running the eero but it's typically when you click on each router or node, it shows the list
@@landpet ok thanks
Hi, thanks for a very good explanation on EERO setup with various permutation connections. I do have a question for you …..
If I connect my Modem to the EERO 6+ router and then connect an unmanaged switch via Ethernet cable to that router, Is it possible to connect another non-EERO router (for example the black TP LINK router w/ 4 antennas) to the unmanaged switch by an Ethernet cable and make that TP LINK router work successfully as part of my EERO 6+ Mesh network ???
Thanks. The short answer is kind of but I'll explain a bit.
If the tp link can run in access point mode then it will increase your wifi coverage but you would need to manage the tp link within its own app. The eero will see that as just another device. It's not going to optimize anything or see everything in one place like it would with other eeros.
Long story short, it's not an ideal solution.
Thanks for your prompt feedback
I have one modem/router from my telephone company (dsl). I'm not mesh technically savvy, can I just connect my eero 6+ to that modem without having to do a bridge mode (not understanding bridge).? Not sure how to do that anyhow.
If you don't change the settings, you will have 2 different SSIDs and if you use the same name and password on the eero as you did on your main router/modem combo, that will cause wifi drops and other issues. The analogy would be is it's kind of like having two drivers in your car that are both trying to drive the car in different directions at the same time.
Putting your modem/router combo in bridge mode is essentially disabling the router portion of the modem/router combo. So when you plugin the eero, it becomes the main router.
If you don't want to change anything at all, you could just get a basic wifi extender. It's not going to be amazing or anything like that but what it does is takes your wifi signal and amplifies it, don't expect great things from it but in theory it should help.
So we have a codex cord plugged into the router and eero wouldn’t connect unless I did wired connection but now we don’t have wireless wifi it’s all wired wifi
I don’t know I you can answer this question but I am trying to connect my Xbox to one of are eeros that is not connected to the motum and the Xbox says cannot connect to your dhcp server what does that mean and how do I fix it?
You need some sort of internet access like a modem connected to your eero for the XBOX to pick it up.
Dumb question. Do I have to use a modem or can I plug one eero directly into my Ethernet port in the wall and connect the rest like shown in your video?
if the ethernet port that's coming from your wall provides internet access (which means the other side of that is connected to a modem or something else which some places have), then you would connect it to that. However it's just ethernet cables that allow for wired backhaul, you would need to connect your eero to your modem.
Thanks for the amazing video. I’m still confused how to maximise my internet connection. I just have a nbn box installed inside the house. I have an existing tp link modem/router from another ISP. I also just bought eero 6. I managed to connect my eero to nbn box. What should i do with my existing modem router ? Should I connect it first to nbn box then connect my eero to the modem router combo? Thank you
No problem. I would just stick with the nbn box and your eero. If you want to spread more wifi across your place, i would just get another same version of the eero and add it in the eero app. That would be the cleanest and easiest way of setting uo your network
Awesome thanks for the tip ..appreciate it
