Eero 6 Routers operate a mesh network of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which can make it challenging to pair your 2.4GHz SmallGarden.
To pair your SmallGarden to your Eero router, you'll need to make a few temporary changes to your router prior to pairing your SmallGarden as outlined below.
Place your Eero 6 router in 2.4GHz mode for pairing
- Open the Eero App and select the Settings icon
- Select 'Troubleshooting' from the menu
- Select 'My device won't connect' from the menu
- Select 'My device is 2.4GHz only' from the menu
- Select the 'Temporarily pause 5GHz' at the bottom of the screen
- You're Eero 6 Wi-Fi network will now disable the 5GHz network so you can pair your SmallGarden
- Return to the home menu and select your iOS device from the menu to confirm you are on a 2.4GHz network (my device is labeled iPhone, yours might be different)
- Confirm you iPhone is on 2.4Ghz as this is the same network that will be transferred to your SmallGarden
- Pair your SmallGarden from the ēdn Grow app
Confirm your SmallGarden is on a 2.4GHz network after pairing
- Open the Eero app
- From the Home screen, select 'espressif' (which is your SmallGarden and the name of the chip manufacturer) from the 'Other' list
- Confirm your SmallGarden is on 2.4GHz wireless
- Note, from this menu you can also check the last active and actually see a history of your device connection which can be quite useful if troubleshooting your connection!
Still having trouble pairing your SmallGarden to your Eero 6 router? There are a few other options we can disable in the Eero app that can assist in the process in certain circumstances:
- Turn off IPv6 IP addresses
- Eero App>Settings>Network Settings>IPv6 --> Select 'Off'
- Turn off 'Client steering'
- Eero App>Settings>Network Settings>Client steering --> Select 'Off'
In our experience, these options can usually be return to 'On' after the pairing process is complete.
