Feature Request - Reboot from App (remotely reboot)
I recently had to reboot 2 of my EERO's. Had to manually go unplug them and then plug them back in. Downstairs, then upstairs. I tell ya...lol ;)
Would be nice to have a single "Reboot" button in the App that just reboots all EERO's on my network. And, automatically handle any sequencing of reboots between EEROs (if required).

Hi everyone —
It gives me great pleasure to share with the members of this thread that with eero app version 2.10.0 for both iOS and Android, the ability to reboot your eeros from the app is now available.
I know this has been one of the bigger requests, and we greatly appreciate everyone taking the time to share their interest in this feature, as well as for your ongoing patience and support.
For more information, please see this Help Center article.

Thanks for checking in, DMcWetty 🙂
As you may have seen, we just released a new update to the eero app. Our team has been hard at work on this update, and we are excited to start working on various improvements and new features. No updates at this time on reboot from app, but should there be any news, this thread will absolutely be updated.
Thanks again!

So there technically is a way to reboot all Eero's remotely (or on Wifi) right now which I use all the time. If you change a DNS server it causes all the Eero's to reboot for the change. I just toggle my secondary from 8.8.4.4 to 8.8.4.5, wait for a reboot, then change it back (which triggers a second reboot).
For me itt's a usable stop-gap solution until there's a real reboot option (still need a "reboot Office Eero" option to do one at a time.

Alternatively, you could just switch the DNS servers, using 8.8.4.4 as primary and 8.8.8.8 as secondary, only rebooting once. Additionally, changing the Subnet IP will accomplish a reboot as well. This of course brings with it the potentially undesired side effect of changing your subnet settings, IP addresses, and removing port forwards and reservations, if you have those.
