1. Introduction to eero PoE 6
The eero PoE 6 is a high-performance, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for professional installations. It offers robust Wi-Fi coverage and is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. This device is ideal for extending your network to support over 100 devices across large areas, such as up to 2,000 sq. ft. per unit.
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your eero PoE 6 access point. Please read it thoroughly before proceeding with installation.

2. Contenuto della confezione
- One eero PoE 6 access point
- Staffa di montaggio
- Accessori di montaggio (viti, tasselli)
Nota: An AC adapter is not included as the device is designed for Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations. A compatible PoE switch or injector (802.3bt) is required and sold separately.
3. Configurazione e installazione
Professional installation is recommended for optimal placement and performance of the eero PoE 6. The device is designed for ceiling or wall mounting to maximize Wi-Fi coverage.
3.1 Connessione Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The eero PoE 6 receives both power and data through a single Ethernet cable connected to a compatible PoE switch or injector. Ensure your network infrastructure supports 802.3bt PoE for proper operation.
