eero Labs features and feedback thread

Welcome to the eero Labs features and feedback thread!
Here is your place to share your experiences with new eero Labs feature releases, as well as let us know the types of future concepts you'd like to see here. We encourage you to share your feedback and interact with others, as well as have an opportunity to interact directly with our developers.
While this section will be more focused on connectivity related features, you can also submit general feature requests here.

It would be nice if there was a way to prioritize each device on the network, or to even permit slicing up bandwidth to specific devices on the fly - I’ve just signed up for 1GB internet and had eero devices installed. I’m backing up my PC to Backblaze for the first time, and I’d like to shift most of my bandwidth to that backup of 10TB+ of data to get it done quickly. Once done, I’d just return the mix to default.

Not how mesh works. Devices will get connected to the least congested path to get out to the internet.
I would be great to turn off 2.4ghz as long as there are no devices needing it. I know ring prefers 2.4. As well as Nest. 2.4 travels further but is more congested.
A great feature would be to add more ssids and assign those to specific eeros. This way, nest for instance will connect to that specific eero.

Move “live data” usage to the top level of the activity screen on its own category. Currently it’s buried and isn’t actually live (on a 5 sec delay). Most of the time, when going into this option and waiting it doesn’t even update for me. As mention in my other post, being able to click on a device in this screen and set it to priority as others have stated as well is recommended.

I'm sure many of us can get behind this which would be split ssids my phone keeps finding this wi-fi band as Wi-Fi 6 and not Wi-Fi 6E so I have to constantly reconnect my phone in order to get the Wi-Fi 6E speeds but then after so long my phone reconnects to the Wi-Fi 6 and I lose that great speed for my pro 6E router. What are you guys think I would love to see split ssids so I can decide which gigahertz band to put devices on.

I just had a Tesla Wall connector installed and had trouble connecting to my eero pro. It uses 2.4Ghz WPA2. It wouldn’t connect because I had enabled WPA3 as part of the eero Labs option. It was able to see the network but just wouldn’t connect to the internet. Not sure the technical reasons but thought I’d let you know so you could address it…

I am curious how far away you are from the eero when you try connecting? If you are far enough then the 2.4 Ghz would be preferred.
2.4 travels further than 5Ghz. However, it is more congested and slower as you know.
I agree, if there is a way to turn off 2.4 completely would be great. This will also reduce the interference on the network.

Please add the entire list of time zones. Or at the least the Mexican time zones. You have Perú time but Mexican daylight savings time is different than the US’s.
Built in VPN client for the popular VPN providers. This would be a great way to increase security or permit users to vpn back into work.
A way to test the connection between a remote eero and the router without using speed test on an external device. This will be helpful, for when an ethernet devices are connected to a remote eero. I want to see how much bandwidth is actually available . My router is in the office. the TV is connected to a remote eero and the router is in the office.
Maybe remote control is possible but haven’t found it yet I was expecting this from Amazon, something like Meraki for home users

I might be asking for a lot. But I’m trying to advance my home network a bit and there are several featured I wish I had so I didn’t have to buy more equipment.
I wish a more sophisticated firewall was available. I need the ability to do some more specific content filtering and would be nice to get some logging reports.
I need to create some VLAN’s. Would be nice if you guys had a managed switch.
I know this is more advanced stuff. But maybe having products that were a little more advanced as an option for purchase would be beneficial.

Some problems with the eero lab features are one WP3 has been a big issue. Some devices that support WP3 have some problems connecting. When WP3 is enabled it would take multiple restarts and resets of that device for it to connect. When WP3 is off, the device connects fine. Next, when WP3 is enabled, the device will sometimes become slow or sluggish when it's off it is fine. When optimized for conferencing and gaming is turned on, the network will become slow and it takes forever for some websites to load I hope that the optimize network for conferencing and gaming can analyze what devices are connected like light bulbs, smart thermostats, etc. And if those devices don't need high speeds but need low latency that it can optimize it that way similar to how the plume wifi devices work were they use smart AI to detect? This is a light bulb. It doesn't need fast speeds but it needs lower latency. It does that you know. Maybe it's a gaming computer. It will need low latency and high speed. Something like that.

Your SQM implementation is broken. When disabled, upload bufferbloat is near zero, whereas if it is enabled, i see in excess of +50ms ping in the bufferbloat tests. I can confirm it wasn't a one off, tested 3 times each when SQM was enabled and disabled. Eero 6 for reference.
SQM OffA quick Google search clearly shows this isn't a one off, when will you get round to fixing this?
