Default profile for new devices

It would be great to be able to have the eero automatically assign any new devices to a default profile. I’m sure there are many applications for this idea - mine is that I have teenagers and would like to be able to automatically assign new devices to a profile that blocks use at certain times (or blocks it altogether). (The kids are savvy enough to be able to randomise the MAC address and present as a new device to get around any profile I assign them to).

    Perfect, a Default connection profile where you can put a decent safety net. It could actually be a different default for the guest wifi and the standard wifi. The default profile could be defined directly in the parameters wher you define the name of the wifi network.

    As a parent I would like the ability to assign a new device to a default profile so that they will have content filtering applied. For example my kids friends, or any guest, connect to our wifi - I would like them to be in a content filtered profile automatically - rather than unrestricted.

    Without a default, it requires constant manual intervention. And iPhones sometimes change their signature and appear as a new device so my settings aren’t applied anymore!

    The lack of this simple feature makes the Eero less of a dependable solution for security and parental controls.

    How is this not a thing? I am a brand new user converting from Google Wifi, and the ONLY reason I converted over was your parental controls. This should be SOOOOO easy to implement, just allow us to apply new MAC addresses to a preset filter list. I just don't like the idea that any of my kid's friends coming over to visit have to ability to view/do whatever they want.

    For people with kids who know how to fake their mac address. Or ever since iPhones and Androids have started using private IP addresses, this is kind of essential.

    Definitely need this one. The eero has basically become useless now that both Mac and Windows make MAC address spoofing so easy.

    I can’t believe we’ve been waiting 2 years for this. What’s the point of parental controls without this feature?
