2. Log in to the App

Using the Amazon account or eero account details, log in to the app. Make sure that the login details are entered correctly.

3. Set Up eero Gateway

If you have a set of more than one eero 6 Plus then one of them should be used as the main gateway. The other eeros will be connected to the gateway.
