Eero Showing No Light? Easy Troubleshooting Steps

Eero devices are designed to be simple, sleek, and efficient. One of the ways they communicate status is through their LED light. When your Eero is functioning normally, you’ll typically see a solid white light. However, if your Eero is showing no light at all, it’s often a sign that something is wrong. The good news is that in most cases, this issue can be resolved with a few basic troubleshooting steps.

When an Eero device shows no light, the most common reason is that it isn’t receiving power. This might sound obvious, but it’s worth checking the basics before diving deeper. Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the Eero and the wall outlet. If you’re using a power strip or surge protector, make sure it’s turned on and working correctly. Sometimes, simply unplugging the Eero and plugging it back in can restore power and bring the light back on.

If there’s still no light after verifying the power connection, the outlet itself might be the problem. Try plugging the Eero into a different outlet in another room to see if it powers up. Wall outlets can fail or trip breakers without warning, so it’s important to rule this out before assuming there’s an issue with the Eero device itself.

Another potential cause is a faulty power adapter or USB cable. Even if everything appears connected correctly, the cable or adapter might be damaged internally. Try using a different compatible USB-C cable and power adapter if you have one available. If the Eero powers on with a different cable or adapter, then you've identified the source of the problem.

It’s also possible that the Eero is working but the LED light has malfunctioned. This is less common but can happen. If you believe the device is online—for instance, if your Wi-Fi is still working even though the Eero shows no light—you can check the Eero app on your phone. The app will show you the status of all connected Eero devices. If the app recognizes the device and shows it as online, the light issue might be cosmetic rather than functional. In this case, while it's not ideal, the device is still doing its job.

If the device is not recognized in the app and there’s still no light, a reset may be necessary. Before performing a full factory reset, try a soft reset by holding the reset button for a few seconds until the LED begins to flash. If the light comes on during the reset process, that’s a good sign. Once the reset is complete, you can follow the setup process again using the Eero app.

Environmental issues can also sometimes impact how the device behaves. Power surges, overheating, or dust buildup near the power connection could potentially interfere with operation. Make sure your Eero is in a well-ventilated area and not exposed to excessive heat. If the device feels unusually warm or shows signs of damage, it might need to be replaced.

If none of these steps restore the light or power to your Eero, it may be a sign of a hardware failure. While rare, internal components can fail over time due to wear and tear or exposure to power fluctuations. If your device is under warranty, this would be the time to contact Eero support and explore your options for a replacement.

It’s also helpful to consider whether any changes occurred just before the issue started. For example, a recent power outage, thunderstorm, or moving the device to a new location might have introduced an issue that wasn’t immediately obvious. Keeping track of those changes can make troubleshooting faster and more effective.

The key thing to remember is that a missing LED light on your Eero doesn't always mean it's dead. More often than not, it’s something simple like a loose connection or a bad cable. By methodically checking power, cables, outlets, and the device status through the app, you can usually identify the root cause.

Whether you’re a seasoned tech user or just someone trying to get their Wi-Fi back online, these troubleshooting steps offer a straightforward path to resolving the issue. The Eero system is built for reliability, and in most cases, getting your device back up and running is just a matter of a little patience and a few quick checks.
