I have an eero mesh wifi, is there a way to adjust the subnet mask to clear this warning?

Sorry, If i was not clear. I don't have access to any Mesh set up. So, If anyone uses mesh set up then they can guide how to adjust the subnet mask on it. I can search for youtube videos but its better to ask first. Thanks again

Hi @Andy21755
Thanks for your post. For Eero mesh, Can you advise @rooted @Marc @Pixelpopper @kltaylor
To clear the warning, you can mute it by clicking on (?) and there will be an option to mute the warning.

Hi @Andy21755 it’s not obvious what the source of your error code is e.g. Fing, router, mesh network or other source. After a quick look at the Eero site there’s no reference to that code (That I can find)? 

Changing the subnet to clear an error is not likely to be a good idea as you are more likely to mask the problem rather than fix it.
so, you need to identify the source of the error message, or preferably, give some indication of the problems you are having which led to that error Appearing which may allow us to resolve the problem.

Many thanks Pixelpopper. In the end I changed the subnet mask from 255.255.0.0 to 255.255.255.0

All seems to be working fine.

Glad you’re sorted, 255.255.255.0 is generally accepted as the default for “Normal” home networks and would only need to be changed to increase the available number of ip addresses.
