Things to Avoid
The following can degrade performance, as well as cause issues for your network:
Heavy metal objects
When placing an eero or eero Beacon, it is best to keep them in open spaces. Avoid
placing eero devices in closed cabinets.
Avoid interference
eero devices work best when they are 20-30 feet away from objects that cause
interference. Avoid objects like microwaves, cordless landline phones, and older coaxial
cables from certain satellite dishes.
Smothering eero devices
As mentioned above, eero devices should always be placed out in the open. This includes
placing anything on top of them. Also avoid having eero devices enclosed in small spaces,
such as cabinets, closets or behind couches.
Soft Surfaces
Always strive to place your eero devices on stable surfaces. Avoid chairs, cushions, and
ottomans, that don’t allow the necessary space for an eero to breathe.
