Eeros dropping wireless connection

I have 3 eeros connected to my Xfinity provided modem. Eeros have been working great until about a week or so ago...they are now dropping their wireless connection (red light). I have unplugged the Eeros, switched eeros around, restarted the modem, plugged eeros into new outlets (with powerstrips and without) and they continue to disconnect multiple times a day.

    Hello Landmine ,

    Is your modem a stand alone modem or a modem router combo? If it is modem router combo is the wifi disabled or is it in bridge mode? If not, you will want to test both of those options.

    Also you will want to verify placement of your eeros. You will want them between 35-45ft away from any other eero device. You can also review the article below to make sure there are not other environmental factors that might be causing this behavior as well.

    Once we have verified those we can start looking at other possible causes.

    This issue has been going on for months and eero really needs to fix and address it. There are other threads with the same problem. I've spent days and hours on the phone with Support, spent money trying to get a newer model and now the newer model is giving the same problem. It's not a placement issue, we've power cycled a million times, deleted the network and made new ones, etc. Why is this still a problem?!!

    Did you ever find a solution? This is happening to me constantly.

    I see this issue consistently when I added a Ring Alarm Pro with Built in Eero. If I add this to my existing mesh network, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting Wifi every minute or so. If I keep this on a separate network, isolated from my other eeros, then The other eero network is fine, but the Wifi network from this Ring Alarm Pro keeps on disconnecting every 1-2 minutes.  Unfortunately after spending hours on phone with The customer support and they doing a bunch of things, the issue was never root caused or fixed. I am returning the units now instead.
