I am having a hardtime having my mac work with eero

My home has 2 eeros installed. Every once in a while eero's stop working only on MAC, while my other windows and android devices work just fine. Is this a know issue. If yes, how are you planning to fix this.

    Hi  , welcome. This is a known issue with Apple devices and Apple and eero have been working together to fix this. They have been trying to figure out a decent solution that doesn't compromise non Apple users. You can search for information on this here and in a reddit discussion  r/eero.

    The current work around is to cycle your wifi off and on. They have made great improvements to try and handle this situation, but it's not yet hammered out.

    Hi  nitinkhanna

    Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the eero community.

    When you are experiencing this issue, is it while roaming throughout the home or does it happen from a stationary location? 

    Also, if you haven't yet, I would recommend reaching out so our team can take a look into what you are experiencing. Feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at support@eero.com.

    it seems to be happening when roaming.  My eero shows 132 Mbps download speed, but my connection is jittery and only 10mbps. I have tested the same on android it shows 100 Mbps. That being said, i used the following command on my mac and things are better

     

    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport prefs joinMode=Strongest
    
    

    the issue is that there is no such thing available for iPhone.
