When there is no internet, the eero has a red light eventually, not always right away. When I had Cox, the eero and the Lenovo always immediately showed there was no connection to the internet. The globe icon replaced the signal one with Cox internet. Now, as I said, the Lenovo shows it is connected, even when it's not! On the T-Mobile gateway, my connection is always "good", and only occasionally "very good".
