What advanced features does eero support?
The following advanced features can be found from within the Network Settings page of the eero
application menu:
 Static IP address setup: Once you've created your eero network, you can manually set a static IP
address in the eero app. Open the eero app menu and tap on Network Settings. Under the
Advanced features menu, tap Internet connection. Tap the Static IP bubble, and enter
the information required for your device.
 DNS: Your DNS translates an address like www.eero.com to an IP address that your phone or
computer can understand. Your ISP typically provides an automatic DNS server that resolves
web addresses. However, if you’d like to set a Custom DNS, choose DNS under Advanced
settings (from the Network Settings page), and tap Custom DNS, then enter your primary and
secondary DNS.
 DHCP & NAT: Under the DHCP & NAT section of Advanced settings, you can configure the way
your eero network assigns IP addresses to the connected devices in your home. If you choose
Automatic, we will automatically choose the best settings for your network. If you have a
particularly complex home network, you can set custom IP address settings for your eero
network. You’ll need to tap Manual, then choose your IP address prefix and specify the lease
range manually. Finally, you can choose to put your eero mesh network in Bridge mode. If you
choose to put your eero network in bridge mode, it will still provide WiFi access but you’ll need
another router to provide network services.
 Reservations & Port Forwarding: Under this Advanced setting, you can assign IP reservations
and port forwarding rules for devices on your eero network. Port forwarding allows you to
manually open an Internet port for a single client, to let traffic pass directly through to that
machine. For example, if you wanted to run a FTP server on your laptop with IP address of
X.X.X.X, you might create a port-forward on port 21 that directs TCP traffic to that IP address
through your eero. Check out our detailed directions here on how to set up port forwarding.
 UPnP: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows devices like game consoles and media centers to
open direct connections to other devices on the Internet. We enable this feature by default. If
you’d like to turn it off, toggle the slider so it’s no longer green.
