Do you support

• Providing an optimized list of APs to roam to, aka Neighbor Reports (802.11k)
• Providing information about the traffic load on other APs (802.11v)
• Speeding up the roaming process by providing fast authentication (802.11r)

If not, when will they be supported.

I just installed 3 eero’s wired to the router and constantly am not connected to the closest eero.  It appears to switch after a while, but I cannot tell if this is it does this consistently.  Thinking of returning the units as a mesh network shouldn’t work this poorly.

Jeff C.  could eero disconnect devices to move them to the right access point? I imagine eero can see if a request is getting a response. I have seen 3 bars of  signal on phone with no internet access until resetting wifi. Not sure what is wrong.

Jeff C. This is an unacceptable answer. This is the core advertised value of purchasing the (very expensive) device! 

Jack Fate Devices choose their access point, not the access point.  This is a core tenant of WiFi.

txgunlover C'mon! Be creative. Have the app turn off (or dim) the signal from the others while I toggle off and on my device's wi-fi. My device will find the node I prefer, because it is the only one it can find. Or better yet, it should always find the strongest choice. Really! Why are we spending a few hundred dollars to solve the signal strength problem if there is no hope that it will do as advertised?!

Jack Fate What did I get for my $400 over any other cheaper brand and model?!!!

Please explain why when I have 3 Asus Access points in the house, I Always connect to the one that is the closest to the client.  Move to the Basement and the laptop/phone hops to that Access Point.  With the eero mesh the client hangs on to the original one until the bitter end.  My laptop/phone stays on the upstairs unit, even with 2 bars of strength....  The Basement unit is 10ft away.

Why does the client know how to behave with the ASUS APs but not with the Eero's?

bitzerjdb I guess I should have bought the Asus. And it costs way way way less than $400. The problem is that the ratings on Amazon don’t reflect this fundamental flaw with Eero, which gives it zero competitive advantage over systems that are 1/8 the price. I guess we need to do our duty and warn everybody. 

Jack Fate  I got tired of doing the Firmware updates on the individual access points and making sure that all the settings were the same.  Eero was great for management...set and forget.  I noticed this issue early on but thought it wasn't a big deal...unfortunately it is.  My bigger issue is that if I reboot the Network (or we have a power blip), the beacons come up first and all the devices connect to them.  Once on, the clients stick to them (regardless that a Pro unit is 5ft away).  I need to reboot them individually to force the clients to find another AP.   I NEVER had this behavior with multiple APs in the house.  Clients would connect to the first one up, and then balance out over time.  If this was simply a client decision, the behavior would happen to all systems, it doesn't,  Not sure what the secret sauce is in the ASUS APs, but it isn't in the Eero.

bitzerjdb I gave up. Bought the Nest-Google solution. And sent my eero kit to my father. Now he hates me. And I love Nest. 

txgunlover The concept of virtual cell exists exactly for this reason and to overcome this limitations.

Jack Fate When I set up my second Eero, I had the same issue - one in the garage that's literally a few feet from my Nest cam and doorbell but they both connected to the main one in the living room that's farther away.

I disconnected ethernet on the garage one and moved it to a different corner in the garage. When it was up and running, I unplugged the main Eero for 30 seconds and that got the Nest cam and doorbell to connect to the garage one - basically "dimming" the main one as you suggested, except manually.

Jeff C.   I have the same problem with devices not connecting to the closest Eero resulting in poor signals.    My front door Doorbell Ring (stationary) connects to the Eero in the back of the house and my backdoor Doorbell Ring connects to the Eeero at the front of the house (4 feet from the front door).   Toggling the wifi off & on a Doorbell Ring is not practical.    I have the latest Eero 6.  Seeing this article is 4-years old and the problem persists is surprising.   Hope future updates fixes this primary expectation of "mesh" technology.  Thanks
