Feature request: MAC address filtering

Sill looking for this feature.  Even if you cannot outright block, maybe set it so that any new MAC address only gets a very, very small amount of bandwidth until pulled into a profile so it can be managed.  That would be better than having kids easily circumvent these controls..

Any status on this feature request?  Issues installing HP printer and I received this message.

The windows 10 feature to "randomize mac address" makes the eero parental controls useless. It also makes device blocking useless, as the pc will simply reconnect with a new mac adress. 

IOS apparently also now has this feature

Even some eero secure features become useless. 

MAC filtering is one way to solve the problem.

Yes please add this feature

Use case:  Child flips mac to avoid profile restrictions.  

If there is only a mac allow then changing the mac will deny.   look at this feature

- Once connected you can check allow mac

- If you have the alert with new device and have an approve feature this can work

- Have an option to turn on feature for deny unless mac is listed 

- Should work on Guest or main network

Please add a feature to LOCK & UN-LOCK the network to PREVENT an "Unknown Device" from connecting to the network.  This basic security feature would solve the parental issues, and add a much needed layer of security.

This is a critical feature for securing a network against new connections that have not been approved.  It's not a failsafe as MAC addresses can be manipulated, but you should absolutely be able to block all new connections by default.  Ideally the app would notify you of new connection attempts and have a pop-up for ALLOW or DENY.  It would be similar in use to many 2 factor authentication systems.

I really like the simplicity of the Eero products (would love to continue using it), but I will be scrapping your router today and swapping to a device with better parental controls.  The controls on the Eero are just too weak.  Even a simple default schedule that applies to all connections regardless of whether they have been added to a profile would be better than the current setup.

New devices are not automatically added to a profile, so all you have to do is spoof your MAC and you're back in WiFi business, no time restrictions.  I only saw this because I saw my son's computer with about 4 different MAC addresses showing up as separate devices on the log.

Iphones, PCs, and other devices are now all “private”, with changing MAC addresses every time you block them or pause them.

eero parental controls are now officially useless.

unless anyone at Eero has any solution i will be scrapping my system and buying another product. 

Most devices now come with a feature spoof MAC addresses.  A very useful security feature would be to link hardware to security... which you can easily do by MAC address whitelisting.   This feature is not just for security.

Profile controls on eeroOS limiting access to the Internet based on MAC address.  Spoofing (labelled Private Wi-Fi Address on iOS or Random hardware address on Windows 10) allows for those access controls to be circumvented by turning on the spoofing feature.  Then when the admin recognizes that this has happened, that new, random MAC address can be denied access.  The operator who has been thwarted at that MAC address need only to generate a new one, use the same password and be back in business.  My teens figured this out and I was alerted to it by the new device notifications from the Eero app.

Please add a MAC white list. Tired of chasing my children around with spoofed MAC addresses. When can we expect this done?

as above...randomised mac addresses are removing any control I have over the Internet usage.

Agree that Eero needs to add MAC address whitelist capability so all new devices are automatically blocked until they've been vetted.  MAC address spoofing renders parental controls useless.

Eero definitely needs a feature to either have mac address filtering or automatic deny until approve type feature.  I have someone breaking the WPA2 encryption on the device and logging on, I can see unrecognized device and I can block it but then they just change mac addresses and log right back on.  I have changed my WPA2 password but same thing happens.  Having mac address filtering I could approve only my set of mac addresses or a deny until approve option would remedy this situation instead of me playing a cat and mouse game.

I absolutely agree, having a mac address filter is probably the most important thing to add to this system. This should be an easy addition to add, and release in a update.

Yes, we understand that a sophisticated user can get by MAC filtering.  Yes, we understand this is not a final solution.  That said, it would serve to stop basic abuses.  You can add it to ARP table and DHCP lease limitations to make a genuine service of denying unwanted users/devices.  You can do this.  You know how to do this.  You have heard loud and clear for more than five years that this is desired.  Do it.

This feature request is not worth the time and should be put in the "not planned" category. I'm sure those at Eero know this already. 

For those of you who are not aware: A wireless network card can be put in monitor mode which allows it to passively listen to network traffic without connecting to your network. You can see the MAC addresses of the authenticated or allowed devices and then spoof that address, allowing you to bypass MAC filtering. The access point will read your MAC address and assume that you are an allowed device.

Being able to set alerts/notifications when new MACs join the network (or even when known MACs join the network) would be nice to have.
