Eero has only 2 Ethernet Ports ... why? I need more ports!

bitrate — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 17:16:19 GMT

Eero Pro has only two Ethernet ports.

One is used for Internet connection and one is spare but I need more ports.

I see other Service Provider has router with more ports but not on Eero.

What is the solution??

If you want to use the eero you will need a switch similar to the one below they cost under £10 -

Thanks @Anonymous . I'm aware of this.

If I have to buy a switch to have more Ethernet ports then why paying high amount to TalkTalk.

Vodafone's router comes with 1Gig and 2.5Gig ports with the more or less same price.

eeros are great because you can use them in a mesh system meaning full strength Wi-Fi and speed however big your house is and no more Ethernet cables running round our houses which is another big plus the downside of course is some customers like yourself do need more than one ethernet port so you can either buy a switch or ask if you could have a router with more ports delivered i am not sure if that is still an option with Full fibre.

Do you still have your old router if yes and it has a red WAN post you can use that -
