Troubleshooting
⛔ Your eero 7 can't reach the internet›
If you receive a message saying "Your eero 7 can't reach the internet", this is probably because VLAN Tagging is not enabled. To fix this, please tap the Internet Settings button to manually update the configuration.
DHCP is enabled by default, to continue using DHCP:
- Enable Uplink VLAN and enter 10 for the VLAN ID
- Tap Connect to wired internet
c. Then Tap Try wired connection
Alternatively, if you prefer a PPPoE Connection:
- To switch to a PPPoE configuration, tap WAN Type and change the WAN type to PPPoE.
- Then input your PPP username and password provided by Voyager and click Save settings
c. Then enable Uplink VLAN and enter 10 for the VLAN ID
d. Then tap Connect to Wired Internet
Once everything's up and running, the eero's LED will show a solid white light, confirmation that your connection is live and we're keeping you connected!
🔄 Factory reset your eero 7›
If you need to completely reset your eero 7 back to factory settings:
- Find the reset button on the bottom of your eero 7.
- Press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds until the LED begins flashing.
- Release the button and wait for the eero to restart.
