You are correct, I did miss speak. The eero is a router, that connects to your modem. And the others act as an access point. Sorry about that. Sent from my iPadPro > On Dec 6, 2020, at 4:52 PM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > This is not correct. > An Eeros system is a combination Router and Wifi

Re: Now how about accessible modems

This is not correct. An Eeros system is a combination Router and Wifi access point, that provides “mesh” wifi access. A modem is a device, usually provided by your ISP, that connects your home network or individual computer to the ISPs internet service. For a more detailed explanation, see the

That wording is a little confusing Clifton. Are you saying that it is a modem/router combo unit? What do you mean it becomes a router when you have more than one? More than one ERO? I don’t quite understand. Sent from my IPhone > On Dec 6, 2020, at 3:50 PM, 'KliphnShari Miller' via

Finder is how you open all files, and it is always the first thing in the dock.. I played around a little with my BigSir system, and I think the process might be fairly similar. If you are sending via airdrop, find the share in the toolbar or menus and then there should be a sub-menu item
