Is it the 3 pack cause my house need the 3 pack if yes I want it 

Skeeter &  tousaintsharpe — this space shouldn't be used as a space to sell goods or services. If you'd like, I could forward your email address to the other. However, there shouldn't be any further discussion regarding such matters.

Thank you.

Jeff C. similarly I would love to prioritize my entertainment devices.  whether that be Apple TV, ps4, Netflix, etc.  and deprioritize say my iMac so that it doesn't congest the network doing something like a time machine back up or a cloud backup to backblaze or crash plan while we are watching shows.

Skeeter  I honestly don't expect much from them compare to these eero but I just have to test for my self.

Thanks for the additional feedback,  rainmkr26 😀

Eero, I have contacted your customer support as the ability to limit data rate is an urgent issue for me and I assume for some of your customers who have data caps and use Amazon streaming to smart tvs and some other devices.  I have discovered that Amazon video streaming software does not allow users to manage the data demand (Netflix and Hulu do) and Amazon says it is up to users to do that with their routers.   They say that any quality router will do it. Eero customer service confirmed that currently the eero system doesn't do it. If this is something that is difficult to do with the eero "mesh" I guess I understand, otherwise what's the hold up?

Update, response?

Hi pflood -

Sorry that this went by without a response.

At this time, we don't have any features that restrict data usage based on a certain "cap" from the eero app. In upcoming releases, we will be providing more information regarding data usage and how much is being used by devices on your network at a given time. This, however is great additional feedback for a use case, and I'm happy to share it with our team.

Thanks again!

Thanks.  I didn't intend to say the restriction on data rate would need to be based on a cap,  it would preferably be by device (by MAC address?) but if that 's too hard  it could be to all devices. 

Any comment on the claim by Amazon that it is a reasonable expectation on their part for their users to be able to restrict their streaming rate, they use this to justify not having a restriction on their end?

pflood —

Thanks for clarifying! As for the statement from Amazon, I wouldn't really be able to say. Did they provide any examples?

I'm happy to pass it along as a feature request and would suggest letting Amazon know the same since it sounds like Netflix and Hulu offer the same type of feature.

Thanks. Amazon has definitely heard from me.  They didn't mention any specific router,  they just said it was something any quality (and not said but maybe implied?) router could do.  I don't know enough to argue with them one way or the other, but I figured eero would understand their competition better than me. 

Sorry *implied recent

Jeff C. Another example. I just performed an iPad backup to icloud and during the time overall internet performance was very slow (dial-up like). I think the upload overpowered the overall connection (120Mbps down/6 Mbps up - comcast). It would be great if the eero could automatically limit devices - you already know maximum upload from the thruput tests. 

Hi  wkandek —

Thanks for adding your feedback and welcome to the eero community! Every use case is a great example towards this request, and I'll be sure to share it with our team. Thanks again!

What about supporting QoS through something like fq_codel (Fair/Flow Queueing + Codel)? Complex QoS rules are typically horrible for normal people to configure and codel QoS has been proven to be effective. It could be basically a single toggle to enable and do a Speedtest to set the parameters. 

Many routers already support including Ubiquiti ones  

https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/

I bought the Eero system over other offerings after reading a mesh wifi comparison in the Mac Observer. You were their first choice based on Qos, calling it the best implementation they had seen in any router, period.

I live in an area where DSL is our only option. I am one of the lucky ones that get 25 down. Our upload is typically somewhere between .5 and 1.5. With these low speeds, slow downs are always an issue. I would typically get an F on the bufferbloat component of the DSL Reports speed tests. 

To continue....

A guy in our community tackled the bufferbloat issue and began marketing a customized router - http://evenroute.com/iqrouter/

Sorry - to continue - With this in place behind my Windstream modem, my bufferbloat scores went from Fs to As, albeit with some loss of upload/download speed. I thought your product would give me improved speed while still addressing bufferbloat. Speed improvement - dramatic, bufferbloat scores went back to an F. I am now back to running a network that goes from the Windstream modem to the IQ router with wireless turned off, to Eero. My bufferbloat scores are back to As. I have lost some signal strength but am still seeing 16 to 20 plus throughout the house with the Eeros. Improved Qos/bufferbloat management on your part would allow me to drop the other device. Thanks for your consideration.

Eero. Any movement on this?

Jeff C.  Jeff you know this is all bull because from launch we been asking for this feature you guys have made several changes including upgrading the entire UI and still fail to listen to the ppls cry oh well a guess we have options right? Because that's must what you guys at Error tell us.
