2. Power Cycle Your Eero Pro 6

The Eero can also blink a white light due to technical or temporal glitches that can prevent your device from connecting to the internet.

If a software glitch is causing this issue, a simple power cycle can fix it and also clear out all glitches allowing Eero to connect to the internet effectively.

Follow these steps to power cycle your Eero Pro 6:

1. First, switch off your Eero Pro device.
2. Unplug the Eero cord from the source.
3. In ~60 seconds, plug the Eero back in.
4. Wait for the Eero to boot up completely.

Note: If your Eero accidentally loses connection to the network and results in a white blinking light after the power cycle, the unit should reconnect automatically. 

3. Restart your Eero Pro Network

Sometimes, a glitch on the Eero network can prevent the mesh from connecting to the internet, leading to a blinking white light. 

To eliminate this possibility, attempt restarting your Eero network to refresh your entire setup and connections, resolving the white light in minutes.

Follow any of the methods to restart your Eero network:

Method #1 Restart Via Eero’s App

1. First, launch the “Eero app” on your phone.
2. Tap the “Settings” tab from the bottom right.
3. Find “Restart Network” under the “Advanced”
4. Tap the “Restart Network” and then confirm.

Method 2: Manually Restart the Eero Network

1. Unplug your Eero modem from the main socket.
2. Wait for ~5 minutes for the complete discharge.
3. Finally, plug the modem back into the A/C source.

After trying the above steps, all your Eero devices on the network will restart, which can take a few minutes.

So, during that time, the Eero network will go offline for a few minutes.

Once the connection is established, the white blinking light should turn solid, which shows that all works.

4. Reconnect the Internet Cable

Your Eero Pro 6 connects with an Eero modem via an Ethernet link to provide a high-speed internet connection.

So, when your Eero service LED blinks white, a faulty or loose Ethernet connection can be the culprit.

The solution is to reconnect the cable, which will hopefully help.

Follow these steps to reconnect the internet cable:

1. Unplug the Eero modem and mesh from your source.
2. Next, disconnect the internet cable from both devices.
3. Wait a few seconds with the internet cable unplugged.
4. Inspect the Ethernet wire for cuts, defects, or damage.
5. Firmly re-insert the internet cable back into both devices.
6. Lastly, plug your mesh and modem back into the power.

Your unit will then boot up and start the startup process.

This process may take up to 5 minutes, and once the Eero is ready, the blinking light should turn to solid white.

We recommend giving the light a few minutes to determine whether the blinking will continue or turn to solid white.

5. Update your Eero Pro Software

Sometimes, your Eero Pro 6 is blinking a white light because of an outdated firmware version.

If you are still encountering a white blinking light, you must update the firmware using the app, as the updates include bug fixes and improve overall performance.

To update the firmware of the Eero Pro 6:

1. First, launch the Eero app on your phone.
2. Hit the “Settings” tile from the bottom right.
3. Next, find and choose “Software Updates.”
4. Then, check for any available latest updates.

If any latest update is available, hit the “Yes, update now” button to get it started!

Note: If the app shows “Up to date,” you are already on the latest firmware.

6. Reset your Eero Pro 6 Device

If your Eero Pro 6 is still blinking a white light after trying all the steps in this guide, it is time for a system reset.

This is an ideal workaround to resolve any issue with the device, including the app connection, software, and different bugs and glitches.

We recommend you first attempt a soft reset. If that doesn’t work, then perform a hard reset. 

Here is how to reset your Eero Pro 6 in easy steps:

To Soft Reset the Eero Pro 6:

1. Locate the Reset button at the Eero’s back.
2. Then, press on the button for 5–10 seconds.
3. Release after you see a flashing yellow light.

Wait until the yellow flashing LED turns into a solid white light.

If Eero keeps blinking yellow or white, proceed further and perform a hard reset of the device.

To Hard Reset the Eero Pro 6:

1. Press and hold the Reset button on Eero’s back.
2. You must keep holding the button for 20 seconds.
3. Wait for a red flashing light and release the button.

Your device will run through a reset process, and once it is done, the LED will start flashing blue.

Next, simply set up your Eero Pro 6 again through its mobile app, and when you get connected to the internet, you should see a solid white light, which indicates that everything is working well.
