# Setting up your router

## Lets rock and roll! 🤘

Setting up your Optua broadband takes a few minutes... seriously! We promise! All you need is your Eero, a compatible device and to follow these steps:

1. **Unbox and power up your Eero**
   * Plug the power adapter into your Eero and a nearby socket. We recommend giving your Eero it's own socket - not in a power extension.
   * Wait for the LED to start pulsing blue - this means that your router is ready for pairing.
2. **Download the Eero app**
   * Search for **“Eero”** in the App Store or Google Play.
   * Install and launch the app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. **Create an account and begin setup**
   * You can login to the Eero app with your existing Amazon credentials, if you're already signed up to any Amazon service. Otherwise, tap Create an eero account to register a new one.
   * Follow the in-app prompts to name your network, choose a password and add any additional Eeros or Beacons.

That’s it—your new Wi-Fi network should be live in under five minutes. If you hit any snags, our support team is on standby to help you finish the setup quickly!
