You must have used other wireless routers to access their web-based interface to modify some settings. It will be impossible to do this on the eero router. This is because there is no web interface for the eero WiFi network. The eero App is required to configure your network and customize it.
When setting up a wireless network, one of the first things users do is change the name to something personal. They also protect their network by using a strong password. This is a great way to protect your wireless network.
So, let’s see what you need to access the eero router settings and make the necessary changes.
What you need:
- The eero App is installed on your iOS and Android devices
- The device must be connected to the Eero network
- Amazon or Eero accounts

Tips for WiFi Password Security
You should pay attention to these important points when you secure your Eero system using a strong wireless password and a unique network name.
- Use numbers, special characters and small capital letters when creating wireless passwords. Your password strength will be boosted by one special character
- Use different passwords for each account.
- You should not share your WiFi password to everyone. Only do this if there are no other options. It is better for guests and visitors to have their own Guest network. It is easy to create and offers great security against unauthorized access.
- The password will be remembered by most electronic devices so it is important to keep it updated. There is no need to do it very often – every two-three months is just fine.
- It is always better if you remember your passwords. If you come up with a hard to remember one, make sure to write it but keep the note somewhere safe, where others can’t find it.
