You said it right. Or else you can setup these three as new networks by connecting ethernet cable from your current setup. You just need to plug ethernet in one unit of eero, rest two will backhaul by it self wirelessly and if you keep same SSID (wifi name) & password as current setup you don’t need to add all wifi devices. They will get it automatically
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The head/gateway eero on the network needs to be hardwired into an internet source/modem via ethernet cable. Once it is setup that eero will create a wifi network (separate from any network created by the modem, even if you use the same name/password, it is recommended you disable the wifi on the modem to prevent the two from interfering with each other). Any other eero can connect to the gateway eero (either wired or wirelessly) and it will broadcast the same wifi network as the gateway.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Plug one into your modem, it acts as a router itself, expanding that zone, then connects the other two as well.
