“I want to use these in addition to my existing wifi router. Can I disable DHCP on the eero mesh so the devices will get their IPs from my primary router?”

• Yes. I get DHCP from my Centurylink DSL modem and have two eero APs providing WiFi access without providing NAT or DHCP services.

• I wouldn’t do this with Eero. If you want an Eero, you have to assume it is THE router in your setup. Otherwise you introduce all kinds of problems you’ll have to troubleshoot.

• Yes you can! The eero will start doing DHCP by default but you can go to the eero app->Settings->Network Settings->DHCP & NAT, move the dot to Bridge and click save. This will turn off the eero DHCP server and firewall.
