Scheduled Updates
If I have business meeting or calls it can be frustrating to have the eeros update themselves and me lose access to the internet. I would like to be able to set a time that works for me during which they can update themselves to avoid this automatic updating interrupting my business needs or my wifi experience.

Seems like a no brainer. Stupid that I have to lose internet every night because i sleep later than “most people”

Hi - I too find this problematic as I run a streaming white noise track for sleeping overnight and the updates interrupt it. Then I have to get up and restart my speaker.
Here's an idea I had - has anyone else tried setting their network's time zone to something different? I live in U.S. Eastern Time zone but if I set the Eero network to Greenwich Mean Time, will the updates happen at, say, 9pm?

Agree, this can/does cause challenges with employment, clients, etc..

Our network just went out at a super inconvenient time to install an update. It's great that most people aren't awake at 2am, but some people are -- and often it's because of a critical situation. Allowing users to schedule when restarts happen is an essential feature.

I voted and would also like to see this implemented. We ought to be able to defer and reschedule updates. In 2020, that's just common courtesy and common sense! I should not be kicked off the network, especially during working hours, just so that my eero devices could update themselves immediately! >:(

Again, tonight, my internet went down and it didn’t take long to confirm that it was due to another eero system update without warning. It is inconceivable that an app cannot provide a notification when a new version has been posted, giving us a chance to update manually at a convenient time in the next few days. That would be the simplest solution to implement.
A more involved solution, with user-selected update times, could be considered for the future. But there is no doubt that the current situation is untenable and, frankly, an embarrassing design omission.
If an in-app notification is too much to ask for, why don’t you make a release notes thread here that we can all follow? Drew ?

@theo Your a day late on this one :)

Dude this thread has been open for 3 years. Enough Consideration. Since working from home I Download really big files in the middle of the night to work on a next day and again last night it killed the network and I had to start over. I lost hours of work. I'm glad you guys now give us a heads up about updates but it doesn't do me any good. I still need to DL things in the middle of the night. I understand you guys always want us to be updated but now I am losing sleep and work over this dumb feature (or lack thereof). JUST LET US SET THE TIME OF THE UPDATE. I would much rather know exactly when it's going to happen. or a "pause for one-night" button at the very least.

Just bought my eero and now considering returning it before opening it as this is just non sense I dont want to deal with. I read that the Google mesh system also does this auto update bull crap. Has anyone found a mesh router brand that isn't so annoying for it's users?
-
The older google didnt have the auto-update. But seriously, with all the mesh I tried, this is still my favorite one overall. The google one has some problem for gaming. And I tried 2 Netgear that didnt stop losing connection somehow.
