I have just switched to Sky BB & would like to connect my Eero router.
Cant find any simple explanations, any advice appreciated.
As an aside: I have changed the Sky Router user name & password to my previous BB supplier which was TalkTalk,

It looks like step 4 is the most relevant.

There should be somewhere for you to change your broadband username and password:
When you set-up for talktalk you would have entered 'yourusername@talktalk.co.uk' (or similar) and a password, you need to change this to 'yourusername@sky.comtalktalk.co.uk' (or similar - it could be in the sky router settings).

It can get confusing if you have 2 routers turned on at the same time that have the same name, but as I assume that you won't be using the sky router once the Eero one is set up it won't make a difference.

The sky router is connected to Eero by cable & wifi is turned off on Sky router. It all seems to be working as it should, ie my amazon dots are now a mesh. Pleased with myself.
