RWilliamson Keep in mind the option of using the eero in bridge/AP mode. If you have a router that can do traffic metering, and attach the eero in AP mode as a wireless mesh, you can have great wireless and watch the data use of your clients.

MrDoh just keep in mind you can use your Camry to push your Mercedes when it doesn’t work like it should. 

MrDoh I'd move to Plume. They have amazing throughput an for 100 bucks less you get 3 superpods and a lifetime membership or I switch to Orbi even though I'm not the biggest fan of Netgear, the Nighthawk R8000 pissed me off only because I had to reboot it all the time, the feature set was spectacular. If I wanted to spend even more money I would go to Cujo but at some point just throwing more money at something is just stupid.

imahawki Thanks for the thoughtful comment. None the less, I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I was having a problem with internet TV data cap and was using the eero in full router mode. So I switched the eero into AP mode, found the problem, and fixed it in a day or so. Then back to full router mode since then. No problems since then, but if any do come up with data use, I'll get out my Camry and fix them.

2 points...first off, that wasn't my first choice, my first choice was to be able to use the eero to find the problem, but for the moment that's not available to me. I've tried with every opportunity that I've had to influence the eero folks to support traffic metering, but until that's done I'll use the tools that I have available. The second point is that this sort of problem is one that can usually be fixed quickly, and then you're done with it. Again, not my preferred solution, but it works for me.

RWilliamson Have an Orbi here now, and like the eero a lot better. Fits my house much better. Started with the eero when Netgear went off track with their Orbi firmware, traded back and forth until it was clear to me that eero was better for my needs. Especially with the wired backhaul using MoCA. For traffic metering, regrettably, I have to change the eero to AP/bridge mode, and use the R7800 with LEDE firmware. Stock Netgear firmware doesn't do the traffic metering that I need if I'm looking at individual clients on my network for data use problems. However, I've only had to go through that time-consuming and painful process once or twice, thank goodness. I'm staying well below the cursed Comcast data cap these days *smile*.

Anyways, Plume was one of the ones that I looked at when the Orbi pushed me that way...the recommendation at that time was that you needed one per room for a "pool" of wi-fi in a room. Not what I need.They may have evolved some by bulking up their nodes, but eero is still serving my needs at this point.

I will look at the Plume again, though. Nice to know what's out there.

Mgreer316 it’s become abundantly clear that Eero has no respect for their customers. The real question is why run this sham of a feedback forum when you’re clearly ignoring your customers. As I’ve said elsewhere in this thread, go one-star the app in the App Store and the router wherever you bought it. 

imahawki I wish I could. But I see nothing in the Android Play Store that allows me to make a comment. I've commented on apps before but I can't figure out how to do it for thy s app.

imahawki I agree, Its pretty bad that we pay a crap ton on this system, and it barely has basic features.

imahawki I agree, Its pretty bad that we pay as much as we do on this system, and it barely has basic features.

imahawki Nothing constructive to say ? Hm. 

namahs The developers have discussed it on Reddit.  It is in the roadmap, but is a very complex feature for them to add.

Mgreer316 Based on the complexity described by the lead dev, I'd rather them do it correctly while maintaining stability.

txgunlover I use to be a software developer many moons ago. So I can appreciate the complexities of development. However, it's been over 2 years. In that time they've released a plethora of other things that are nice, but are NOWHERE near as important as this. This should be now, and should've been months ago priority #1. There is nothing more important than this. People need to know where their data leaks are so they can avoid being hit with extra charges and fees. Other suppliers are doing it and price wise, eero is at the upper end of the spectrum. This is not an unrealistic expectation. It's now become a very basic need as we're flying blind without it.

It's a feature that's been available for decades, so all they have to do is find a way to implement it within their environment.

Mgreer316 Software development for over 20 years here... you'd be surprised how inaccurate most of these "other supplies" monitors are... I recommend discussing with the eero developer who has addressed why it's difficult in depth on Reddit.
