Can I Connect Gateway To eero 6+ Router?
If I get T-Mobile internet, can I connect their gateway to an eero 6+ router? If so, is there any trick to that?
Yes. I first changed the SSID (network name) of the T-Mobile WiFi network to make sure it is different than the one set on the Eero. You can’t delete or disable the T-Mobile WiFi network, don’t connect to this network. I did “hide” it and set to be 5GHz so it does not compete with the 2.4GHz on the Eero. I then just used the Ethernet cable to connect the Eero directly to the back of the T-Mobile gateway and then finished configuration of it works fine. Didn’t need to do anything else, just works.
I was using the T-Mobile gateway WiFi, but found it to be not very reliable, disconnects and then have to forget and rejoin the network, much more stable after going with the Eero.
