Rethink this Eero.. you are killing me with being too simplistic.. give us options to do things.. I totally bought the wrong wireless for this house..

Eero, as always, setting wifi configurability back by 10 years each and every day.  Hopefully Amazon will put an end to Eero's complete disregard for customers.

I am in the same situation. I do not need 2.4 GHz, and can get far better speeds from my ISP providers modem. If I can't figure out a way to switch to 5ghz I guess I'm just gonna return these

+1 for a variation of this feature. I have some finicky Leviton light switches that work with HomeKit, but they frequently get lost on the network. Their tech support articles indicate that the switches do not play well with wireless networks that have the same SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz. I would like to be able to specify certain devices on my network and force them to 2.4 or 5. 

For troubleshooting and getting these devices back online, i would also like the ability to temporarily disable 5ghz. 

I really cannot understand why eero will not allow the people WHO PURCHASED your product to choose the band. If this is not going to be addressed soon, I'm going to sell my eero devices and move on to something that will. This is unacceptable.

Hello Folks.  Please revisit the ability to do the following, because as a customer with a wide array of smart home devices deployed on his network, for the purposes of configuring various devices *at all*, I need the ability to blanket disable 5 GHz, at least temporarily - as some smart devices, like the ambient weather 2902 station, cannot connect to 5GHz at all and thus my phone cannot be set ‘automatically’ to be on 5 GHz during this configuration process.  Likewise, certain building materials greatly inhibit 5 GHz, such as metal roofing.   Thus 5 GHz is sub-optimal in certain buildings.

Please treat this as an urgent use case and prioritize accordingly.

Thanks,

Joe

I am also having the same issue with the Eero pro I just purchased.

I need to have control over this especially when my devices are constantly switching between 2.5 and 5 GHz. Is it normal to lose connection when this happens? I feel like when I'm working from home and moving around the house my VPN drops going from 5 to 2.5 GHz.

Please fix this Eero. We should have the ability to chose which device belongs on which netowrk.

This is the basic of WiFi AP feature. I need to be able to disable 2.4GHz. Actually I need a more detailed approach to the configuration settings. It is good that Eero target users that are not technology savvy, but they also need to offer more configuration details for the technology literate. I just received my 3 eero and so far I am not really happy that I have no idea what is the full configuration. I am concern that when I will encounter a problem I will have no idea where to start troubleshooting, beside pushing the troubleshooting button.

Having the same problems - in busy urban places, the problem is interference on 2.4 Ghz not device instability @drew  from Eero. I'm wasting tonnes of time now waiting for my devices to catch up, and expected a more advanced setting. I previously had an extender which would worked on 5 Ghz alone and I replaced with eero to avoid 1 dead spot. Now everywhere is so slow, the whole house is a dead spot...MESH is great, but you need to allow band selection, please now, before I have to ditch you.

I'd like to be able to force 2.4g for setting up IoT devices with my phone because it doesn't work when the phone is on 5G and the device can only do 2.4g.

I understand that the Eero concept is to make home wifi networking "easy" for the average user.  But I think you're seeing a LOT of demand here for the ability to manually turn on/off either the 2.4Ghz or 5.0Ghz bands.  That Eero just keeps responding with that feature as "unplanned" is simply asinine.  It ain't that hard. I know a kid who's an amazing programmer and he could teach Eero how to do it (or do it for them) in 20 minutes.  C'mon, let's be more responsive to what your customers need and want, not what some arrogant lead engineer "thinks" we need.
