Find a spot for your router: we recommend finding a central location that’s well-ventilated and away from other electronics

Set up your eero router
Unplug your old modem from the power outlet and unplug the cable connecting it to the nbn connection box
Connect your eero device to your nbn connection box using the ethernet cable that came in the box. You would have received an email on which UNI-D port to use
Check that your nbn connection box and your eero is on and plugged in correctly.
Set up your eero network
Follow the eero app prompts and check that your gateway eero’s LED light has turned to solid blue
Once your eero have been successfully detected, select a location for your eero on the app
Enter your network name (SSID) and network password. This is how devices will join your network. You can create a new one through the app or you can enter the SSID and network password printed on your eero
Tap "next" to complete your initial set up and then "finish setup"
If you have more satellite eeros to add to your network, tap "add another eero device” and follow the steps on the app.
Bridge modem/router device with eero router
Origin Internet uses IPoE which means that you can plug your eero into your nbn connection box directly. However, we understand that you may want another set up at home which can include plugging your eero into an existing modem or router. In this instance, you’ll have to put your modem into bridging mode. If you are going to double NAT your existing router and your eero, you’ll need to use a different SSID and password for your eero network and existing network.
