Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status.Ĭonnect the Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on the Eero router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme Things are much easier and faster if you use AirPort Utility on an iPad.įirst, perform a Hard Reset on the AirPort Extreme by powering it up for a few minutes, then holding in the reset button on the back of the AirPort for 7-8 seconds. Has anyone configured one this way yet and can provide me with some instructions? I have tried searching for instructions, to do exactly what I need, but have found conflicting information (extending wifi, bridging, etc.) and just haven't gotten it to work yet. This is not my area of expertise but I can usually get things working with the help of google and support sites. I moved the netgear out there for a quick test and it worked perfectly so I know my line/connection is good. I need it extending the existing mesh network so it can still seamlessly jump between beacons, routers, etc.

I was able to do this with a netgear wifi router, to extend the signal in my garage, but I can't seem to get the extreme to setup properly. I ran CAT6 out into my shop, since my wifi won't pass through the metal walls, at all, and am trying to configure the Extreme so I can hardwire it to my EERO network to extend the wireless mesh network inside my building. I'm trying to use my Airport Extreme to extend my EERO wireless network into my metal shop via ethernet.
