Disconnecting an Eero device from its power source interrupts its function within the network. The specific impact depends on which Eero unit is unplugged and the network configuration. For example, if the gateway Eero (the one directly connected to the modem) is disconnected, the entire network will lose internet connectivity.
Maintaining a stable network is crucial for consistent internet access, supporting various connected devices, and ensuring reliable performance for activities like streaming, online gaming, and smart home automation. Interrupting the Eero’s operation, even temporarily, can disrupt these services. The device’s placement and role in the network topology significantly influence the overall network performance.
