For some people, a normal router works fine for their wireless needs. But if you have dead spots all around your house, you might benefit from a mesh Wi-Fi system, like the Eero. And even if you’re familiar with the Eero system, here are all the nifty things you can do with it that you may not have known about.
对于某些人来说，普通路由器可以很好地满足他们的无线需求。 但是，如果房子周围到处都是死角，您可能会受益于Eero之类的网状Wi-Fi系统。 即使您熟悉Eero系统，也可以使用它来做所有您可能不了解的漂亮事情。
与Eero结合使用其他路由器 (Use Your Other Router in Conjunction with Eero)
Depending on how your internet connection is set up, you can use your main Eero unit as your only router—but if you have an advanced router you really like, or a modem/router combo you’re forced to use by your ISP, you can still use that old router. You just need to put your Eero in bridge mode.
根据互联网连接的设置方式，您可以将Eero主设备用作唯一的路由器-但是，如果您有真正喜欢的高级路由器，或者被ISP强制使用的调制解调器/路由器组合，则可以仍可以使用该旧路由器。 您只需要将Eero置于桥接模式即可 。
To do so, tap on the menu button and navigate to Network Settings > Advanced Settings > DHCP & NAT and select “Bridge”. This will simply turn your Eero network into a basic mesh Wi-Fi network, while still relying on your existing router to assign IP addresses and such.
为此，请点击菜单按钮，然后导航至网络设置>高级设置> DHCP和NAT，然后选择“网桥”。 这将简单地将您的Eero网络变成一个基本的网状Wi-Fi网络，同时仍然依靠您现有的路由器来分配IP地址等。
从手机重新启动 (Reboot Them from Your Phone)
Are Your Eeros acting up and need to give them a stern kick in the rear? Like every other router, sometimes a reboot can help. Unlike most routers, though, you don’t need to physically unplug and replug your Eero routers if they’re giving you trouble.
您的Eeros是否举足轻重，需要在后方给他们一个严厉的踢腿？ 像其他所有路由器一样 ，有时重新启动会有所帮助。 但是，与大多数路由器不同，如果Eero路由器给您带来麻烦，则无需物理拔出并重新插入。
Thanks to the Eero app, you can reboot them right from your phone without getting off the couch. Just tap on a Eero device on the home screen and then select “Restart Eero”.
借助Eero应用程序，您可以直接从手机重新启动它们，而无需离开沙发。 只需在主屏幕上点击Eero设备，然后选择“重新启动Eero”。
创建访客Wi-Fi网络 (Create a Guest Wi-Fi Network)
Your family and friends that come over are probably trustworthy enough that you’ll easily give them the password to your Wi-Fi network. But there’s still good reason to create a separate guest network for them, and Eero lets you do that.
过来的家人和朋友可能值得信赖，因此您可以轻松地向他们提供Wi-Fi网络的密码。 但是仍然有充分的理由为他们创建一个单独的访客网络，Eero 可以帮助您做到这一点 。
All you have to do is tap on the menu button and select “Guest Access”. From there, enable it and then set up your parameters. Then, your guests will be able to access the Wi-Fi at your place, but they won’t have access to anything else that’s on your network.
所有您需要做的就是点击菜单按钮，然后选择“来宾访问”。 从那里启用它，然后设置您的参数。 然后，您的访客将可以在您所在的位置访问Wi-Fi，但他们将无法访问网络上的其他任何内容。
重命名网络上的设备 (Rename Devices on Your Network)
By default, devices on your network will show up as jumbled nonsense in the Eero app, but you can rename these devices to things that make a bit more sense.
默认情况下，网络上的设备将在Eero应用程序中显示为混乱的废话，但是您可以将这些设备重命名为更有意义的东西。
All you have to do is tap on where it says “XX Connected Devices” at the top of the home screen, select a device from the list, and type in a new name for the device under “Nickname”. That way, you know who’s connected when (and if someone’s connected who shouldn’t be).
您所要做的就是点击主屏幕顶部显示“ XX Connected Devices”的位置，从列表中选择一个设备，然后在“昵称”下为该设备键入一个新名称。 这样，您就知道谁在何时连接(如果某人不应该连接)。
关闭LED灯 (Turn Off the LED Lights)
Don’t like the bright LEDs on the front of each Eero unit? You can turn them off right from within the Eero app.
不喜欢每个Eero单元前面的明亮LED吗？ 您可以从Eero应用程序中直接将其关闭。
Just tap on an Eero unit on the home screen and then select “LED Light” on the next screen. From there, you can turn it on and off.
只需在主屏幕上点击一个Eero设备，然后在下一个屏幕上选择“ LED Light”。 从那里，您可以打开和关闭它。
使用Alexa控制您的Eeros (Control Your Eeros with Alexa)
While you can’t do a whole lot with Alexa when it comes to your Eero network, it’s still pretty cool to be able to do some things using the power of your voice.
虽然在您的Eero网络上，您无法使用Alexa进行很多工作，但是能够利用语音的力量来做一些事情仍然很酷。
All you have to do is install the Eero Alexa skill and then you’ll be able to pause the internet, turn the LEDs on and off, and even locate your phone, depending which Eero unit it’s closest to.
您所要做的就是安装Eero Alexa技能，然后您就可以暂停互联网，打开和关闭LED指示灯，甚至找到手机，具体取决于它最接近的Eero单元。
用于远程访问的转发端口 (Forward Ports for Remote Access)
Port forwarding is available on pretty much every single router in existence, and the Eero is no exception.
现有的几乎每台路由器都可以使用端口转发， Eero也不例外 。
There might be some applications on your computer that need some help connecting to the outside world, and this is where port forwarding comes in handy. In the Eero app, you can do it by tapping on the menu button and navigating to Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Reservations & Port Forwarding. From there, it’s really easy to forward any port you need.
您的计算机上可能有些应用程序需要一些帮助才能连接到外部世界，这是端口转发很方便的地方。 在Eero应用程序中，您可以通过点击菜单按钮并导航至“网络设置”>“高级设置”>“预定和端口转发”来实现。 从那里，转发您需要的任何端口真的很容易。
将互联网访问限制为某些家庭成员 (Limit Internet Access to Certain Family Members)
If you have kids in the house and want them on a strict internet diet, you can restrict their access to the internet using Eero’s Family Profiles feature.
如果您家中有孩子，并希望他们严格控制互联网饮食，则可以使用Eero的家庭资料功能来限制他们访问互联网 。
Just hit the menu button and select “Family Profiles”. From there, you can create a profile for a specific household member and set time limits or scheduled times where they can access the internet.
只需点击菜单按钮，然后选择“家庭资料”。 从那里，您可以为特定家庭成员创建一个配置文件，并设置时间限制或他们可以访问Internet的预定时间。
