2. Removing Existing Broadband Equipment

If you've moved to Zen from a previous provider, carefully disconnect any equipment from your old ISP to make way for your new Eero.

3. Identifying your ONT

The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) could look different depending on when you had your service installed.

If you need help finding your ONT, look for a small black/grey or white box, mounted to a wall within your property (usually on the ground floor), with 4 lights.

4. Connecting to a White ONT
  • Plug the Ethernet cable provided with your Eero into "LAN" on your ONT
