Hi there, you can plug the ethernet cable from the modem or router to the back of the gateway eero, and from the second ethernet port of the gateway eero, run a second ethernet cable and plug it into the back of another eero. The first and second unit will continue to provide WiFi connectivity.
These should work with just about every home internet solution out there if you keep the ISP-provided router (ISP Router connects to Eero router via network cable, other Eero devices connect to Eero gateway via WiFi). This is how I setup my home network with Sky as my ISP.

As to replacing the router, I'm afraid I couldn't tell you. It certainly can replace the routers for some ISPs but you'd need both the router to support your ISP and also the ISP to allow you to use other routers. I'd maybe ask TalkTalk if they permit it.

Yes, I have BT Fibre (FTTP) with Smart Hub 2. I simply unplugged the WAN port from my Home Hub and plugged it into the Eero 6+. When setting up the device over Bluetooth via the app, it will initially not be set to use PPPoE, you must set this under Network Settings > ISP Settings, as the default option is DHCP which i…

When setting up the device over Bluetooth via the app, it will initially not be set to use PPPoE, you must set this under Network Settings > ISP Settings, as the default option is DHCP which is for other networks such as Virgin Media.
The PPPoE credentials for BT are the same for everyone and can be found on Google. I also searched for Eero PPPoE and followed their documentation page. After entering the credentials to set up the device, it took 5-10 minutes to configure.
I’ve not had any issues after 2 weeks of use.

Hello there, good question! While all eeros are compatible, it is not recommended to use eero 6+ and eero Pro 6E in a mixed node network containing older eero models. When adding a legacy eero model to a 6+/6E network, all nodes will be forced to run at 80MHz channel widths via 5GHz (whereas the newer models run at 160MHz).
Hi There, you can use eero 6+ with all the Internet service providers in the UK, including '3'. You only need to wire your gateway eero into the Modem/ Router they provided you and set up your eero network. You can add more eeros to your eero network to extend the WiFi range, by adding them through the eero app. The sa…

Hi! eero was built with this exact purpose in mind - to allow you to expand your home network to those spots where signal was not reaching before. Just be mindful of thick walls and other electronic devices - those affect negatively the range, but with the proper placement of the eero units you can have much better res…

Hi there! While HomeKit currently isn't available for the eero 6+, we are always looking for user interest in these cases, as it is helpful in determining where our engineering team should look next to improve our product and services. Per your request, I will be happy to pass this feature request onto the engineering team.
