Understanding the Eero light meaning can help you identify potential problems with your device, troubleshoot the issue and ensure the system is running effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device communicates by displaying flashing or solid color light, each of which has a specific meaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When working normally, the LED status light should be solid white, and the device mobile app should be outlined in green light.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If the light is in a different color, whether solid or blinking ( including blinking white), there is a problem. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article outlines the meaning of all the possible colors your eero may display. We also offer fixes you can try in case of an issue with your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Color Should the LED Light on My Eero Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eero is a brand of mesh WiFi system<\/a> designed to improve and extend Wi-Fi coverage in your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eero devices typically have LED lights located on the front or top, depending on the model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LED light serves to communicate information about the status and health of the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your Eero is on and functioning normally, the LED should be a solid white.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can confirm this with your Eero app and ensure it is displaying a green icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If you see both of these, then you are sure your Eero is connected and working as it should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your Eero LED is in a different status light other than solid white, please refer to the table below to understand the meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Fix Eero LED Status Issues <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your Eero mesh<\/a> device indicates LED status that is not normal, there are things you can try to clear the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspect Your Ethernet Cable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your Eero mesh<\/a> device indicates LED status that is not normal, there are things you can try to clear the problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspect Your Ethernet Cable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, a poor connection of a single pin of an Ethernet cable<\/a> is enough to compromise the connection of the rest of your network.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, inspecting your Ethernet cable is something you want to avoid assuming even when you are sure nothing has interfered with the cabling setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply unplug and carefully replug all the network cables connected to your Eero. You should do the same with cables connected to other devices, such as your fiber router, switch or network hub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To disconnect the Ethernet cable, press in the retaining clip of the cable, then pull it out until the connection light goes off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug it back by gently pressing until you hear the sound of retaining clips clicking back to their position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you notice the cable has a damaged retaining clip or any other issue, consider replacing your Ethernet cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing with Eero Ethernet cables is that they are more flexible. Unlike the power adapter<\/a>, you can use any Ethernet cable with Eero.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Cycle Your Eero Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A simple power cycle may be all that you require to restore the normal LED status light. This old method of fixing internet issues is capable of flushing all the unnecessary caches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you need to know exactly what the issue is, restarting the service that your Eero uses to supply you with wireless internet coverage may also be necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply disconnect the power cord and wait for 30 seconds or until all lights are off, then reconnect it back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Physical Block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Physical obstacles such as walls and shelves can interfere with the WiFi signal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it your internet service router or your primary Eero (gateway). You want to put it on an open surface where nothing interferes with the network signal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove obstructions around it so that it can pair easily with other devices within your home. You should also clean the devices regularly because even dirt can interfere with the signal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the Right Power Adapter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before, your Eero device will blink yellow when it detects an unapproved USB power adapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eero does not recommend using a third-party power adapter. This may lead to inconsistency in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you misplaced your official power adapter and need a new one, the company now offers a 15W USB-C power adapter that you can use for replacement. This adapter is now available on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart the Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Refresh your network by restarting it through the app. So you will need to have the Eero app updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
