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.

+1 on PPPoE one feature will allow to remove a complete device and enable us to use eero Plus
-
I signed up just to +1 this.... I just moved into my new home and signed up for Centurylink Gigabit. I very much look forward to the day I'm able to use my eeros like normal again.
-
Just bought my Eero's on Amazon and wanted to sign in to support this. Seems like the most solid Mesh wifi available but if you supported PPPoE it would make things much easier for me...
-
Another +1 from someone who bought a set of 3 only to discover I have to keep my old router around to handle PPPoE and deal with the consequences.
-
Please provide PPPoE support so that I can use the eero with all the great features it provides within my bell fibe setup.
-
If you are planning to roll eero out to other countries, PPPoE is by far the most common type of internet connection in the UK (where I am), so having this implemented would be great for those plans.
Until then I guess I'm stuck with double NAT like everyone else 😢
Added my vote at the top ✅

Can we at least get a position on this? Is it being worked on, is there an idea on when its going to be available for beta testing? Is the company position still that this is not going to be worked on? I'm sorry, but this is very basic feature. I have 4 eeros and double natting is a horrible situation to be at.

I’m also on CenturyLink fiber in Seattle and I’d gladly give up my Linksys Velop setup and purchase new Eero devices if you could support PPPoE at a minimum. It would be ideal if you could simultaneously support IPv6 “Rapid Deployment” and VLAN tagging on the WAN interface. CLINK specifically uses VLAN 201 and only supports IPv6 only over the “Rapid Deployment” protocol. Linksys supports all these technologies but I’ve had issues with needing to reboot their devices regularly.

Moving to CenturyLink gigabit fiber (from Comcast). Just signed up for a forum account to register my vote on this feature request!
-
Also signed up here specifically so I could vote. I could get rid of my bridges and use my Eero fully if PPPoE was implemented
-
A big +1 to this. I have an old Airport between my terrible ISP-supplied modem/router and my gateway eero, just to handle PPPoE, so I can keep the modem in bridge mode and not rely on it for too much. Would love to remove that Airport and let eero do this work.

As a custom integrator, it was a huge shock to me realizing that Eero does not support PPPoE. I have been configuring and supporting routers for close to 20 years and even inexpensive, basic routers support PPPoE. It's embarrassing and laughable. Our firm is considering making Eero a major part of our product offering, but it is difficult for me to recommend that we go this route with an awesome product that is missing such a basic feature, especially since so many of our customers have DSL service that almost always requires PPPoE authentication.
-
Yeah, I've about given up on this ever coming to eero. I am looking elsewhere for my next router needs. Eero in bridge mode eliminates almost all the reasons I purchased eero in the first place. Can't believe I spent $500 on this product. It was about 1 month before they lowered their prices, too. Double-kick to the shins. But I'm not bitter... ;)
-
Add my vote to this please, I'm already a customer/advocate and I'm unable to have the best of Eero and the highest speed provider in my area due to lack of PPPoE. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

All, a quick reminder that, in addition to your earnest notes, pls remember to click the vote button at the very top. This request has been open and unaddressed for more than a year. Other feature requests are clearly consuming the dev team so we have apparently not yet crossed the bar to warrant them taking this feature on. Thanks.

Another CenturyLink customer who just wants to turn off my Zyxel modem's router features, but cant' if I still want my blazing fast fiber connection to work. Like others said:
"Eero in bridge mode eliminates almost all the reasons I purchased eero in the first place."
I'm the local nerd who all my neighbors ask, "what should I buy?" - and I can't recommend eeros. :(

I have major instability with my eero system and CenturyLink’s routers, to the point of crashing the system almost nightly under heavy loading. I am convinced it’s because of double nat and dhcp between two routers is inherently unstable under heavy loading. Offering PPPoE would fix this. As it stands now, I am forced to bridge my EEROs system and if that is the case, as a pre gen 1 charter adopter and gen 2 user, I will be looking else where for a mesh system. I have over 1k in dollars between gen 1 and gen 2 systems and to have it gutted down to bridge mode because of a lack of pppoe is disheartening.
-
Here we are, a year later, still have my 4 eeros in bridge mode on CL fiber. Why doesn't eero just mark this feature request ,(PPPoE & vlan tagging) 'not doing' rather than 'considering'. Gives us false hope.
