Well... there it is.

Wanting multiple non-guest SSIDs will now cost you a big annual fee as part of the Eero for Business subscription.  I understand the reasoning behind this particular features bundle for a business, and an extra $200/year over Eero Plus may be justified by a restaurant or real estate office, but not for us. We don't run a business.  I just want to isolate our home IOT in a separate network.

Presented with much higher opex for Eero, I may as well look elsewhere now.

I'm really missing the time when we owned a home with Cat5 runs to every room, enabling connection of wired Ubiquiti APs.  When we moved to a home without such cabling, I bought Eero Pro APs on faith of eventually receiving advanced residential features which have not been delivered.

:-(

Rick Zotz Same for me. Time to start looking at other options. Sad, really.

Dylellington If eero wants to ignore consumers looking for multiple SSID in a wireless mesh to segregate home, guest, business, IOT, Home Automation, etc. into separate networks to mitigate risks and organize like use cases they will simply lose market share to other vendors. There are other options in the market, including Google, who provide something as simple as multiple SSID in their mesh. Good to know this in advance as I can avoid eero and inform others of the limitations and assist them in using viable alternatives. 

Rick Zotz Due to the lack of multiple SSIDs in eero I'm currently using older Google WiFi pucks instead, leveraging OpenDNS as an alternative to web filtering in the additional services provided by eero subscription, etc. When it came time to refresh I was happy to give eero a try, but in the future I'll be moving to eero alternatives and will likely give my eero devices to one of my kids to use until they die. 

Dylellington BTW - The community/forum reach is limited, I would recommend that folks enter a review where they purchased eero letting potential consumers know of the device limitations. This provides a service to the greater community and perhaps will assist eero in providing clarity in providing, or not, multiple SSID in their consumer products. I'm writing my review now. 

Dylellington I just wrote and posted my product review, post purchase, making clear multiple SSID are not supported which is information an informed consumer must have. 

PAWiFi trust me after seeing the lack of company responses here I knew it would only get the word out to other users which was my goal. I’m actually an Amazon employee so I just left a message in the Eero slack channel to try and gain more traction on this issue for customers.

Dylellington Thanks. I spend a LOT of time talking to people and companies about wireless networking of all kinds. I purchased eero as it's one of the few products I had not used, had people interested, so installed a 4 node mesh for daily use to replace a collection of older Google, Orbi, Meraki, TP-link, etc. systems. With a multi-SSID system I could have easily replaced 4 wifi systems, consolidated. Er, nope. Eero is largely relegated to family browsing but can't support the need to have 2 additional SSID for work for multiple people, can't support division of our security devices from our home automation, etc. While I've owned and installed many Google WiFi systems unless eero changes their stand on multiple SSID this system will be my last.
