Set up a guest network with eero

    This guide explains how to add a guest network from the eero app or update the guest network name and password.

    Introduction

    Let’s talk about the benefits of guest networks. We recommend using them because they make your office more secure by blocking visitor access to data, files, and other private info on your primary network.  

    This guide walks through how to set up and make changes to your guest network, right within the eero app.

    Installing the app

    First, download the eero app for iOS or Android. Then, you can log in and access everything right on your mobile device. 

    Enabling an eero guest network

    Step 1: Open the eero application on your mobile device. Tap Settings in the icon menu.

    Step 2: Select Guest Access from the menu and toggle Guest Network to be on.

    The app will automatically create a guest network by taking your main network name and adding “guest” to it. A password will also auto-generate. 

    Once you have Guest Access turned on, you can edit the network name and password to whatever you like by clicking into each of the fields. 

    Conclusion

    You’re all set! Now you can share the name and password with guests to let them connect to your WiFi in the office.
