Feature Request: Add support for PPPoE
many ISPs, including CenturyLink require PPPoE. Without this support, eero cannot be used as a router and only as a bridge.

Well shame on me for spending $500 on a set of Eero's without googling "CenturyLink Eero bridge". If it's true Eero didn't bother with supporting PPP - an extremely common protocol used by extremely large ISPs, then these now have to go back.
It never occurred to me that these wouldn't support a feature every other router I've owned or seen does!
I bought these after hearing how 'advanced' and simple they are. I want to use the management features the app offers and the great WiFi mesh, but I've spent a lot of money wiring my home with Cat6, and buying Gigabit Internet service. I don't want to now worry about poor internet and problems from sloppy NAT & DHCP handling with 2 routers - nor give up the features I just overpaid for.
I've now wasted hours to this effort because eero hid behind their whole "we're so easy" persona without divulging their weaknesses in any tech specs. Feels like another example of Bay Area single-mindedness... our ISP's don't use PPPoE so why would we support something like that?
Shocking and disappointing eero. farewell.
I guess I should have picked Google WiFi.

Same here. Centurylink Fiber user which blows Comcast away. But I've been stuck using my eero units in bridge mode with no access to the great features beyond extended coverage. There have been requests for PPPoE support since the routers first launched. A more transparent answer one way or another would be great.
