Replacing Your eero Mesh Network with Ring Alarm Pro

Ring Alarm Pro is designed to be used as the gateway, or primary router, on your home network.¹ This diagram shows how to correctly set up your Alarm Pro as the gateway of your home network:

Please note that Alarm Pro will be connected to your modem and the internet using an ethernet cable, but will communicate with the cameras and devices in your home using wifi.

Already have wifi?

We recommend that you use the same wifi name and password to ensure that your devices should easily connect to your new wifi network. Check that you're using the same spelling and capitalization too.
