WAN IP ADDRESS FAILURE ON EERO SET UP

forcemani — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 07:39:21 GMT

City fibre came and installed our fibre box this morning and left when 4 green lights came on. They connected the eero 6 and we downloaded the eero app. My phone can connect to the eero when running through set upon the app, but fails during set up and says eero can’t connect to the internet. There is an exclamation mark next to WAN IP address.

Called the support team and was passed around 4 departments and explained my problem to each in turn. Turned the modem/router off multiple times and retried. Got cut off from 2 hour phone call. Tried online chat. Explained situation again and they said my account wasn’t activated, but they activated it now and the problem would be solved (actually despite us receiving the eero 6 from talktalk after signing up online, and talktalk sending city fibre to us to do the install, talktalk so not actually have a record of us as customers and we don’t exist on the system, but they say that isn’t the problem). Anyway, the “activation” did not solve the problem. Got disconnected from that chat and had to them explain the whole thing to another person who said there’s no problem their end and they will try and get a resolution in 72 hours and then I can call back if I still have a problem. I honestly can’t face another frustrating 4 hours of repeating myself and I can see this is a common problem so wondered if anyone else has a fix please! Thanks in advance. Cathy

Hi Cathy!

I hope you’re well.

I am currently experiencing the same FRUSTRATING problem, for days! Not one agent is able to assist me, they’ve sent an engineer out to try to fix it and nothing. I now have to go the entire weekend with no internet and most of next week before they deliver a new eero - which I’m not even convinced will work. The new eero was a the last resort as they couldn’t pick up and error with anything else.

Could I kindly ask you to share what the solution was? I’m so close to canceling my services with them as I work from home and can no longer handle the lack of internet.

im hoping and praying you see this as I’m at my wits end.

Kind regards

Ilhaam
