Specifications

Mobile App

The mobile app is available on iOS and Android. Every Sonic WiFi Powered by eero user will need to have the app installed on an iOS/Android device with Bluetooth capability and active cellular data service so they can create, manage, troubleshoot, and edit their Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network; if you are not amenable towards using an iOS/Android device for network management, this is not the product for you. The app is free to download on the iPhone App store and the Google Play store.

The app currently supports both Android and iOS. Your device must also support BLE, so Bluetooth hardware versions earlier than 4.0 aren’t supported.

Click here for app setup.

In addition to the above requirements, you'll need a data connection on your device to set up your Sonic WiFi Powered by eeroi network. Once you're set up, you can manage your network over an Internet connection. 

Why is a data connection necessary for setting up my Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network?

When you are creating an Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network, we recommend using a device that has a data connection. This is because at a certain point during setup, you will briefly not have any WiFi as you will need to swap out your existing router for your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero gateway. In order for your new gateway to register and bring your network online, your mobile device will need an available connection to the internet.

How do I set up my Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network if I don't have cell data service?

If you don't have cell data service where you live, please take the following extra steps when setting up your devices:

1. Rather than plugging your gateway into your modem, plug it into your existing router during setup (This is called 'double NATing' your network). This way you can use your current wifi network to complete the setup and switch over to your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network once setup is complete.
2. If you have a standalone modem and router, you can remove the router once your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network is up and running. Simply unplug the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero gateway from your router, power cycle your modem, and then plug your gateway directly into the modem. When power cycling your modem, please be sure to wait until your modem is fully powered back on before plugging your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero into it. Depending on the modem, this may take up to 3-5 minutes. After you plug your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero gateway into your modem, you'll no longer need your old router.
3. If you have a modem/router combo device, you can put that device in bridge mode for optimal network performance.

Terminology

Node: Each Sonic WiFi Powered by eero device counts as a node, whether it is a gateway or a leaf.

Gateway: The gateway is the primary device on the network. In a typical Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network, it will be the gateway that is connected to your modem via Ethernet. The Sonic WiFi Powered by eero gateway is intended to replace any existing router functionality in a home network, meaning you will want to either bypass your existing router entirely and connect the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero gateway directly to the modem, or in the case of a modem/router combo will want to disable wireless and bridge the device entirely (or set up a LAN sub-port), both of which mean that the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero unit is literally acting as the gateway for your WAN connection.

Note that the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero can also be configured to act as a bridged wireless access point for a routers existing LAN network; this will negate use of some advanced features, but the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero will still be accessible via the app and most of the standard network management features will work fine.

Leaf: A leaf is any additional Sonic WiFi Powered by eero device on the network after the gateway. This can be a Sonic WiFi Powered by eero or Sonic WiFi Powered by eero Beacon, and can be connected to the network over WiFi or Ethernet.

While Sonic will assist with basic troubleshooting and configuration of devices, full support will be provided at https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us.

Setup

Steps to connecting Sonic WiFi Powered by eero

Click here for app setup.

Adding Sonic WiFi Powered by eero to your network

Adding a new Sonic WiFi Powered by eero unit

From the main status page, tap the button above the network name (currently showing as 1 single device on the network).

Select type of device

You will be prompted for which type of device you would like to add.

Detecting new Sonic WiFi Powered by eero unit

The app will then detect the presence of a new unit.

Placement and confirmation

Once the device has been detected, the app will test the placement and confirm new Sonic WiFi Powered by eero has been added to the network. If the app detects a possible issue with the placement of the device, it will inform you.

SUCCESS

The status screen will now show 2 Sonic WiFi Powered by eero devices!

Network Settings

From the Network Settings screen, you will be able to see all current network configurations, and make direct changes to them as desired.

Below is a walk-through of navigating this page.

Network Settings Page

Network name

This is the SSID (name) of your network. You can change it by tapping through.

Network Password

This is the password for your network. You can change it by tapping through.

External IP address

This is the gateway Sonic WiFi Powered by eero WAN IP address.

Gateway IP address

This is the gateway Sonic WiFi Powered by eero LAN IP address.

Network software

From here, you can see if your network software is up-to-date or if there is an update available.

• Up-to-date: The network has the most recent version of the OS
• Update available: The network can be updated by a user-initiated update (or automagically overnight).

Network timezone

The timezone that the network is using for all user settings, including Family Profiles.

Advanced settings

Various advanced settings to customize the network experience (see next section).

Advanced Settings

If you would like to further customize your Sonic WiFi Powered by eero network, you can do so through the Advanced Settings screen. Note that a bridged system will not have these options available.

Internet connection

From here, the user can configure their internet connection type:

• IP (default): The IP address, subnet mask, and router IP address will all be set by the ISP.
• Static IP: The IP address, subnet mask, and router IP address are selected by the user.

DNS

This is where the Domain Name Servers (DNS) can be configured and are used for translating domain names, such as Sonic.com, into IP addresses so they can be reached. You can either use the one distributed by Sonic or choose a custom one. 

DHCP & NAT

This is how the network assigns the IP addresses for your connected devices on the LAN. The user has three options:

1. Automatic (recommended): Sonic WiFi Powered by eero automatically chooses the best settings for the network.

2. Custom: You can set a custom IP address range for your network. This is typically for more complex set-ups; if you're unsure as to how this setting would benefit your network, then it's very likely not necessary. You will need to fully configure the following settings:

• IP Address Prefix: Choose between three IP address prefixes: 192.168.0.0; 10.0.0.0; 172.16.00
• Lease Range: Once a prefix has been set, you will need to set each of the following:

• Subnet IP: This is the range from which client IP addresses should be allocated
• Subnet mask: Separates IP addresses into network and client portions.
• Starting IP: The first IP address in the range
• Ending IP: The last IP in the range.

3. Bridge: In bridge mode, the upstream router will provide all the network settings. While routers will continue to work as a mesh and you will still be able to use the app to administer the network, some advanced features will not be available in bridged mode.

Reservations & Port Forwarding

You can use IP reservations to allow them to keep the same IP address for a particular device. This means the device will always have the same IP address.

You also have the option to set up fort forwards, which is helpful when a device or application requires direct connections to other devices or services on the internet. Please note that these services are UNSUPPORTED by Sonic and are included in this documentation for reference purposes only.

To create an IP Reservation:

1. Tap on Add a reservation
2. Select a device from the list (ex: Craig's iPhone)
3. Tap on the IP address and edit
4. Tap save in the upper right corner

To create a Port Forward: Once an IP reservation has been created, you can set a port forward.

1. Tap on Add a reservation
2. Select a device from the list (ex: Craig's iPhone)
3. Tap on Open a port
4. Name the port
5. Use the external/internal ports as assigned by the manufacturer (you may already have ports of your own they would like to utilize)
6. Select the protocol provided by the manufacturer
7. Tap Save in the upper right corner

UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a way to allow devices like game consoles and media centers to open ports to the internet automagically. This can be enabled/disabled by switching the toggle to On or Off, respectively.

Restart and Delete network

If you would like to restart your network (for example, when troubleshooting slow performance), you can do so through the app as long as you have an active internet connection.

If you would like to delete their entire network, including all settings and remove all Sonic WiFi Powered by eero devices from their network, you can do so by following the network deletion steps.

Hard/Soft Reset

You can perform a hard or soft reset by pressing and holding the reset button on a Sonic WiFi Powered by eero devcie for a certain length of time. The Sonic WiFi Powered by eero Beacon reset button can be found on the left side and the same instructions below apply. Before resetting, make sure it has been powered on for at least 45 seconds.

Soft reset

A soft reset will clear all network configurations from the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero, but preserve its sessions. This keeps the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero on the network and saves its logs and advanced settings such as IP reservations and port forwarding configurations. To soft reset, hold the reset button until its LED flashes yellow (7 seconds), then release it.

Hard Reset

A hard reset will clear all network configurations, clear its session and logs, and remove the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero from the network. If the Sonic WiFi Powered by eero has an active internet connection, you can achieve the same results by removing it from the network via the app.

Performing a hard reset on a gateway Sonic WiFi Powered by eero (the one connected to the modem or Optical Network Terminal) will remove the entire network and all settings for that network.

If you only need to hard reset one Sonic WiFi Powered by eero, we recommend swapping out the gateway for another one if possible. By extension, if all Sonic WiFi Powered by eero devices are factory reset including the gateway, this will also remove the entire network and all settings for that network.

Note: If you need to transfer a Sonic WiFi Powered by eero unit from one network to a different one, hard-resetting that specific unit will facilitate this. Once it has been hard-reset, you can then follow the procedure for adding a new unit to an existing network.

To hard reset a Sonic WiFi Powered by eero, hold the reset button until the LED flashes red (15 seconds), then release it.
