Can I use Eero with my existing Wi-Fi router?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, Eero can be used with an existing Wi-Fi router, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind. When integrating Eero into your home network, you have two primary setup options: the bridge mode and the router mode. If you choose to set Eero in bridge mode, it will work alongside your existing router, allowing it to act as an additional access point without taking over routing functions. This setup is ideal if your current router is performing well and you simply want to extend the network coverage. On the other hand, if you enable Eero's router mode, it will take over the routing responsibilities from your existing router. This may involve disabling the Wi-Fi function of your original router to avoid conflicts and provide a seamless network experience. To determine which setup is most suitable for your specific needs, you may refer to the Eero website for detailed guidance and instructions. This will help ensure you get the best performance from your network configuration.
