Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Eero LED completely off with no light?
A completely off LED indicates your Eero isn't receiving power. This is usually caused by a faulty power adapter, bad wall outlet, or loose connections. Less commonly, it can indicate internal hardware failure.
How do I know if my Eero power adapter is working?
Check if the adapter has a small LED indicator light - it should be on when plugged in. You can also test the adapter's voltage output with a multimeter or try it with another compatible Eero device if available.
Can I use any 12V adapter to power my Eero?
Only use adapters with the exact voltage, amperage, and connector specifications as your original Eero adapter. Using incorrect adapters can damage your device permanently.
What should I do if my Eero won't turn on after trying everything?
If your Eero LED remains off after checking the adapter, outlet, and connections, the device likely has internal hardware failure. Contact Eero support for warranty replacement or consider purchasing a new unit.
