Hi WhoDey, Great question about mounting your eero Pro 6E units! The eero Pro 6E devices aren't designed with built-in ceiling mounting options, but here are several solutions for your Cat6 ceiling installation: Mounting Options: Third-party ceiling mounts - Several manufacturers make wall/ceiling mount brackets specifically designed for eero devices that attach via the device's base Flush mount boxes - Low-voltage junction boxes that can house the eero and provide a clean installation Adhesive mounting pads - Heavy-duty 3M or Velcro strips to attach the eero directly to the ceiling surface near your Cat6 outlet Custom mounting plates - Some homeowners create DIY solutions using small shelves or plates attached to the junction box Connection Setup: Run Ethernet from your Cat6 wall plate/box to the eero's Ethernet port The eero will need power via its included AC adapter, so you'll need a power outlet nearby or use a PoE adapter if you want to power it through the Ethernet cable Important consideration: The eero Pro 6E works best when positioned in open air rather than enclosed in a junction box, as this can impact Wi-Fi signal performance. A surface-mounted solution near your Cat6 outlet typically provides better coverage. I hope this information helps, Have a great day!
