Eero keeps disconnecting dozens of times a day

You’ve certainly done a lot of troubleshooting, which is great, but you didn’t mention if you’ve contacted eero support yet. If not, get a support request opened up with them. They can see the logs on your eero and whatnot and do a lot more diagnosing of the eero itself (which does sound like it’s the culprit).

If your eero is disconnecting randomly, you can first try turning the Eero off and turning it back on again. This could fix issues with the router if it were caused by a setting change since a soft reset or a reboot like this can reset those settings back to normal.

I had the same problem - had my eeros for years with no problems then suddenly it starts disconnecting.  It was driving me crazy because I kept disconnecting the power cable and then reconnecting to get the eero to reconnect to the internet.   Finally I realized that the gateway eero was getting REALLY hot!  I guess the gateway eero was either getting too old or could not handle the traffic, but it was overheating and disconnecting to protect itself. So I purchased a new eero 6+ and replaced by gateway eero and have not had any problems ever since.

I additionally went confronting a fundamentally vague issue at any rate whatsoever point it is agreed to me. Much appreciation to you for the help. My Family Mobile Plans

This might be a long shot but check in the properties of your wifi via control panel and see if both Ipv6 and Ipv4 are on. If so, then that may be what is causing the disconnects; the minute I deactivated Ipv6, everything went back to normal (not necessarily with vice versa, since most websites still use Ipv4 instead of Ipv6)

I have stayed in various AirBnBs which have eero WiFi routers and the WiFi always drops out after a period of time, possibly DHCP refresh, not sure.  I just turn WiFi on and off on my device and it works again.  This happens on the following devices Windows 10, Windows 11, Android, iPhone, Linux Ubuntu 22.x & 20.x.  My only recommendation is don't buy this unit and if you get given one by your service provider then go straight onto Amazon and buy something else.

If you google eero lost WiFi connection there are enough posts on the internet to tell you it's a common problem with no solution.  I suspect the firmware is not well written and eero don't know how to fix it otherwise they would do better than stonewalling with comments like turn the box on and off.

Don't waste your time resetting the box or looking for a magical configuration change on your device, it doesn't exist.

I am also having these issues.  Modem is up and running fine, but the eero's drop the connection and require a power cycle to reset the connection. 

I too am having this same problem. Power cycled modem, power cycled Eero's, Turned of IPv6, toggled Advanced Security on/off. None of it works. Feel like the firmware needs an update (I am current with available updates). Frustrating - I have three separate Eero networks in three different homes, never had this problem in any of them until now in one of the homes.

Yeah my issue is in a remote property so I can't personally go and do the power reset.  Yesterday I called support, and had a neighbor power cycle the modem and eero.  I got no real satisfaction from support.  They were very nice and polite, but we don't have a solution.  Here are the actions they want me to take:

Please try the following to isolate and troubleshoot the issue.

• Swap the gateway eero with the modem unplugged from power, power on the modem first, then the eero.
• Swap the Ethernet cable in between the modem and your eero.
• Swap the ports on the eero.
• Swap the ports on your modem(if possible)

There is a hand shake issue between the modem and the eero, timing related and the eero never connects.  I am using Spectrum if that matters.  I will be replacing the Spectrum modem next time I am at the property as well as changing the gateway eero.  I think they know they have a timing issue but aren't exactly sure how to fix it.

I have this issue too on 6.13.4-21

My eero again disconnected and is now offline.  I have lost the ability to monitor my smart thermostat at a remote property.

Since it is remote, I can't just unplug and reboot.  

I think I am going to instal a 24 hr timer and force the modem and the eero through a power cycle twice a day. 

Unfortunately the eero's don't seem to have a reliable re-try mechanism.

I’ve had disconnects multiple times a day for the last two months, I’m actually glad to see it is not just me. 

Watching... I am having this issue with my primary computer, which is Ubuntu. The rest of the house seems to be ok, but this one machine disconnects every hour or so.

I have the same problem - Called Support, they said they didn't change anything, just upgraded (which means something changed). It started a month ago for me to have the same type of intermittent interruptions, will the WiFi from T-Mobile is exactly the same.

Support recommended to switch the pods or replace the ethernet cable - priceless!

Anybody with a real solution to the problem?

I have finally got resolution.  Eero support monitored my device and told me I had 5000+ disconnects.  Called Spectrum.  They initially denied any issue, then I got a message out of the blue that they have noticed inconsistencies with my service.  Turns out the line from the pole to the house was bad.  NOT an eero issue,  nor a modem issue, but a bad cable.  Finally fixed and working great.

Same issue here for about a month now.  If I disconnect it from the router and just run internet like it was before Eero, no problem what-so-ever.  When I am running it, it's up and down every day, some more than others.
