On an eero, solid white means online — that is the state you want. Solid red means offline and flashing red means it is resetting. Blue is setup (solid blue is ready for setup, flashing blue is Bluetooth pairing), and flashing white means it is still connecting.
eero also documents aqua for hotspot internet, green for power saving or for identifying several eero units, and flashing yellow or orange for a power supply problem. eero points out that its Signal product uses a different colour scheme, so the table below applies to the eero units themselves.
eero light colours and patterns
| LED behaviour | What it means |
|---|---|
| No light | No power, or the LED has been disabled in the app |
| Solid white | Online — this is the healthy state |
| Flashing white | Connecting (starting up or reconnecting) |
| Solid blue | Ready for setup |
| Flashing blue | Bluetooth pairing |
| Solid aqua | Using hotspot internet |
| Flashing aqua | Identifying Zigbee devices |
| Solid green | Power saving |
| Flashing green | Multiple eero devices identified |
| Flashing yellow / orange | Power supply problem |
| Solid red | Offline |
| Flashing red | Resetting |
The three states most people actually see
Why colour alone is not enough
Two eero units in the same house can legitimately show different colours, because some states are about power saving or about the mesh identifying its own units rather than about the internet. eero’s own documentation groups these clearly, and its Signal product uses an entirely different set of colours again, so a colour seen on one eero product cannot be assumed to mean the same thing on another.
The reliable method is always: identify the device and model, then read that model’s own table. That is why this page names the manufacturer state by state instead of publishing a generic “red means bad” list.
