Last Updated: 3 months | John Miller

If you are an Eero owner, you already know that it is a powerful piece of equipment while being a sleek and attractive device. It not only provides Excellent Wi-Fi Connectivity but also has Excellent Coverage.

But there are times when you face some issues as well. Be it a Red Light Issue, a Blinking Blue Light Issue, a No Light Issue, or your Wi-Fi speed has been lagging recently. If so, then I cannot understate the importance for you to know about How to Factory Reset Eero Router.

In this article, I will tell you about the different ways you can reset an Eero router and provide you with a step-by-step guide.

So, let’s get started.

How to Reset Eero from App?

This is a way of resetting your Eero router using your Eero App. For this method, you don’t have to locate the reset button on your device, or in that matter, you don’t even have to touch your device physically.

I would like to suggest that First And Foremost you use this method before using the other two methods listed below as it is the easiest method among all the methods listed in this article.

To do this just follow these simple steps:

• Open your Eero App.
• Tap on “Settings” then click on “My Networks”.
• Select that specific device
• Click on it and select “Advanced”.
• Select “Remove from Network” and click “Confirm”.
• Tap the “+” icon on the top right.
• Follow the setup process
• Select the Eero device that you want to pair and finish the pairing setup.

This should resolve most if not all the issues related to network speed. But if it does not then I would suggest next you try the Soft Reset method.

How to Soft Reset Eero?

This is a reset method that will clear all the network configurations but will keep your device on the network and your custom settings as well.

I would Highly Recommend that you use this method before trying the last way listed below as this is a good way to resolve many issues as well as improve the device’s performance.

To do this just follow these simple steps:

• Do not unplug the Power Cord or the Ethernet Cable.
• Find the Reset Button on your Eero router (usually on the back or side of your device depending on the model you are using).
• If your router does not have a Reset Button then look for a small hole with Reset written above it. In this case, use a paper clip or a pen to press the reset button.
• Press and hold the button for 7-10 seconds 
• Release the button when the Eero Status LED Light Starts Blinking Yellow.
• Wait for 5-10 minutes for the process to complete.

The LED’s color should turn into a Solid White Light indicating that your eero router has been successfully connected to the internet.

If the LED’s color does not turn into a solid white light then proceed with a Hard Reset or Factory Reset.

How to Hard Reset Eero?

This reset method will not only completely delete all your custom network settings but will also completely remove the device from the network.

Most if not all issues can/will be resolved after doing a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) and I Strongly Recommend that you do this if you are going to be using a used router.

To do this just follow these simple steps:

• Find the Reset Button on your Eero router (usually on the back or side of your device depending on the model you are using).
• Press and hold that button for 15-20 seconds.
• Release the button when the Eero Status LED Light Starts Blinking Red.
• Wait for 5-10 minutes for the process to complete.
• Check if your Eero Status LED Light is Blinking Blue or not.
• If the Status LED Light is Blinking Blue, open the Eero App and complete the setup process.
