+# Setting Up AdGuard Home with Eero
+
+2022-11-04
+
+Eariler this year I posted [detailed instructions on setting up Pi-Hole with Eero](/eero) and it seemed to help out a few people having troubles. With AdGuard Home recently popping up on the [frontpage of HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33387678), I thought now would be a great time to post instructions of setting up *that* service alongside Eero devices.
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+1. Raspberry Pi device (I recommend the Pi Zero for simplicity and low cost)
+2. microSD card
+3. [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)
+3. micro USB to ethernet adapter (check your local Amazon)
+4. Patience!
+
+## Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
+
+The first thing we need to do is flash Raspberry Pi **Lite** onto our SD card. Open Raspberry Pi Imager, select the **Lite** version of the OS and your respective media (the SD card):

+
+Don't flash anything just yet! Be sure to use the gear icon and edit the settings. Set a custom hostname, enable `ssh` and setup a proper user:

+
+## Plug it in and Boot!
+
+Put the SD card into your Pi, connect power and ethernet. Give it a bit of time to boot up. Once you see a nice solid green LED, go back to your local computer's terminal and enter the following command:
+
+```
+ssh piguard@piguard.local
+```
+
+If everything was set up properly you will be asked to trust this device. Next, you will be prompted to enter the device password you setup.
+
+Once you are connected directly to the Pi, it's best to check for updates:
+
+
+    sudo apt update
+
+
+...and if updates are in fact available, install them via:
+
+
+    sudo apt upgrade
+
+
+## Installing AdGuard Home
+
+Simply run the automated installer:
+
+
+    curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v
+
+
+Follow the instructions and you'll be setup in no time! To view your AdGuard dashboard at any time, you can now simply navigate to `piguard.local`.
+
+If you run into any issues, I strongly suggest [reading through the "Getting Started" guide](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#getting-started).
+
+## Configuring the Eero App
+
+Once your AdGuard Home server is installed and running, you can finally point your Eero network at it.
+
+1. Open the Eero app (iOS or Android)
+2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Network Settings** > **DNS**
+3. Select **Customized DNS** and enter both your saved IPv4 / IPv6 values (These can be found under the `Setup Guide` tab in the main AdGuard Dashboard)
+4. Eero will prompt you to reboot your network - do it
+
+After the system reboots everything *should* be working as intended!
+
+## Closing Thoughts
+
+I've personally switched over from Pi-Hole to AdGuard Home - it just feels more robust and the UI is significantly cleaner. Hopefully this helps others trying to do the same!
