Router placement is essential because it directly affects your Wi-Fi network's signal strength, coverage, speed, and reliability. Centralising the router helps distribute the signal evenly throughout your home, while avoiding interference from obstacles and electronic devices ensures a stronger and more stable connection.

Proper placement minimises latency, enhances device connectivity, and can improve overall network performance, making it crucial for optimal internet experience.

Place your eero Hub on a hard, flat surface like a table, countertop, or nightstand. This ensures stability and optimal performance.

For the best signal distribution, position your eeros at a height between the floor and ceiling, rather than on the ground. eeros emit their signal more effectively upwards and along the plane they're placed on.

Place your eeros in open spaces rather than inside cabinets or media consoles. This helps them communicate more effectively and avoids signal obstructions.

The fewer walls and the less dense their material between your eero Hub and beacons, the better the performance. In older homes with dense wall materials like plaster or chicken wire, placing your eeros near doors can help, as wood is less obstructive to WiFi signals. Aim for a direct line of sight between your eeros whenever possible.

Keep your eeros 20–30 feet away from potential sources of interference, such as:

Also, keep in mind that Wi-Fi signal interference intensifies wherever many people are living in close proximity (i.e. in subdivisions, townhomes and high-rise buildings).

By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance from your eero Wi-Fi system.
