Eero 6 cannot connect to external IP address

[Bird91]

My service went live today and I have tried to setup the eero 6 but it cannot connect to the internet. I have reset everything several times and have gone through live chat etc but the eero cannot find the external IP address

OK. I'll pass this over to our Future Fibre team and ask them to take a look.

Hello, 

Plugged everything back in and still having the same issue 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Thanks for trying that. I think it may just be that everything has completed at our side yet. If we could give it an hour and if it's then still not working I'll ask our Future Fibre team to take a look

I have tried plugging straight from my ont into the laptop via ethernet and it is showing as an unidentified network with no internet

Hello Chris

I unplugged both the ONT and eero for the half hour and have rebooted them and am still getting the same issue 😕 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Thanks. I think the issue is that although the order has completed on Openreach systems it's not completed fully on ours. In the last few minutes the connection is showing on one of our systems, it wasn't a few minutes ago. Could you switch the ONT off and leave it off for at least 30 minutes, then switch back on and try connecting the eero again. Please let us know how you get on

Chris

[Bird91]

That is correct.

OK, so the service was working yesterday with BT but you've had no service so far today?

Chris

[Bird91]

I didnt have one enter the premises, the broadband has been switched over from bt so I assume they only had to to the external connections to switch the line as ONT was already installed and working 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

OK thanks. Could I just ask, what did the installation engineer say?

Chris

[Bird91]

Solid green on power and Lan flashing green PON and no light LOS 

The eero has flashing blue lights incase thats important 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Thanks for that. The order appears to be complete. Which lights are on, on the ONT?
