Eero Optimize For Conferencing And Gaming (2024)

FAQs

What is eero optimize for conferencing and gaming? ›

Optimize for Conferencing and Gaming, formerly known as Smart Queue Management (SQM), intelligently shapes how wifi traffic is queued to reduce latency and limit the amount of bandwidth certain devices use. For busy networks, this can improve the quality of voice, video calls, and online gaming.

Power cycle your eeros:

Try power cycling your eeros by unplugging the power cable from the back of your eero, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. This step can sometimes fix connectivity issues. The eero's LED will turn solid white, then be flashing white while booting up.

Aim high. eeros radiate their signal more upwards than downwards, but mostly along the plane they're placed on. So, if possible, it's best to place your eeros at a height halfway between the floor and the ceiling, not on the ground. The thinner the barrier, the better.

eero is ready right out of the box and sets up in under 10 minutes. Entertainment-grade WiFi for streaming, gaming, and working from home.

eero will not make your WiFi faster, as WiFi speed depends on what is provided by your ISP. However, eero can bring faster speeds to every corner of your space, increase your internet's efficiency and reduce network congestion.

Medium Term - The system takes about an hour to learn what kind of interference you have around your home, and learn to tune it out as best it can. Long Term - It takes between two days and a week to select the best channels for your network.

If you have a modem/router combo device, we recommend putting that device into bridge mode. Putting an eero in bridge mode will turn off its network services but allows the eeros to continue providing WiFi access.

Setup. For a quick and easy setup experience, we recommend keeping your eeros in relatively close range to each other — a good rule of thumb is less than 50 feet between them. Once your network is up and running, feel free to spread your eeros out around your home.

eeros work best when they're 20-30 feet away from objects that cause interference. Avoid placing your eero on top of, or near, these objects: Microwave oven. Cordless phones (for your landline, not your cell phone) that use the 2.4GHz or 5GHz range.

How far away should eeros be? ›

For the best experience, eeros should be no more than 50 feet apart from each other.

Try power cycling your eeros by unplugging the power cable from the back of your eero, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. This can sometimes fix connectivity issues. The eero's LED will turn solid white, then flashing white while booting up. It takes about a minute to start up and begin broadcasting.

Consistent home internet speeds: If you're looking for the best speed for gaming, mesh WiFi provides consistent internet speeds throughout your home, preventing lag and interruptions. This ensures a smooth gaming experience, even in rooms far from the main router.

The network ports on the Eero should function a a WAN port and a LAN port, so, yes, the modem should plug into one and then anything in-network into the other (ie: PC, switch, etc).

If you're using a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router, you can connect your client devices to either a 2.4GHz band or a 5GHz band. If you have a tri-band router, you get an extra 5GHz band that you can dedicate to gaming and video streaming. A 5GHz connection will provide better performance at short ranges than 2.4GHz.

eeros work best when they're 20-30 feet away from objects that cause interference. Avoid placing your eero on top of, or near, these objects: Microwave oven. Cordless phones (for your landline, not your cell phone) that use the 2.4GHz or 5GHz range.
