    Hi -- this is my first post here.

    I noticed that our MyQ Garage Opener Control (myQ-G0401-ES) fails to keep connection with the eero router if WPA3 (eero Labs option) is turned ON. I haven't troubleshot further if something is mitigatable, but the connection goes back to stable if I turn off the eero Lab feature.

    Is that known issue?

      Masa that’s not an eero issue, that’s a problem with your MyQ hardware not supporting WPA3.

      cMoo92 Thank you for your response! Their apps and current documentation claim that they support WPA3, but the documentation before 2022 has no such specification details. I will reach out to the company if they have a plan to update WPA3 support for devices manufactured in 2021 and before. Unfortunately, I got the opener in December of 2021, and maybe we are out of luck. :(

    I also have a MyQ chamberlain garage door opener. I enabled WPA3 to see what would happen and it seems to be stable on WPA3. My logic board on my MyQ garage door opener is 050DCTB. I purchased it a few years ago. Not sure if it make a difference, but I am running on the Eero Pro 6E. I hope this helps.

      rayb30 Thanks for sharing your experience! I haven't checked the board number, but I will check it out if I can. I'm trying to contact the MyQ support for subtle differences in the compatibility of the WPA3. So far, the connection stabilized again after turning off the eero Labs' WPA3 option.

    When will Eero Built in be available in Ireland?

    I would very much appreciate the ability to force a device onto a specific extender or otherwise. If I am on a laptop in the office next to the main device I don’t want it to stay connected to the on my living room. The connect to the office eero is 3ft away. The living room is 30 with 2 walls. I have also tried the trouble shooting multiple times on multiple devices and it just doesn’t seem to matter. I have also restarted the eero specific extender and that also didn’t seem to change anything. I will also encounter times when there are 8 devices connect to one eero while another closer one doesn’t have any. Handoff just doesn’t seem to work and it would be nice to have the ability to force the handoff or lock it in to 1 or more eero extenders.

    Up until about a week ago I’ve had little issue with my Eero network.   As of late though I am extremely frustrated.   It is constantly dropping signal on wireless devices.  My iPhone will drop signal and I’ll be standing in one place.  One of my echo devices can’t even maintain wireless signal to function properly and this one is literally sitting next to one of my eero’s that is wired,   
     

    I had this issue a while back and found that turning of ipv6 resolved the issue, so not sure what it is this time.  Anyone else having these issues?

      danoutlaw3 maybe you are experiencing a hardware failure of some sort on one of your eero devices??

      Mediatech I actually resolved this.  I had to hardwire each of my eeros back to the gateway.   This seems to have resolved the issue.

      danoutlaw3 excellent. So Ethernet lines to each location? It is interesting that was working fine and then started having problems.

      Kingcar656 Wouldn’t that be a great feature? The only thing I’ve found that can do anything like that is Wireshark.

    Feature request: in notifications, add "Be notified if network is down". In other words if you've lost access to the internet you would get a text message versus email which would be faster.

    I would like to share an opinion/ possible idea to help network privacy and protection. So I would like to ask and if not I would to request that an algorithm be built-in with eero that can detect any devices with potential malware and danger to data and devices. See in today's modern age technology is everything but let's say you had your eero app with some or all the features that for example duckduckgo has that with-in its app u can secure and minimize trackers and other servers and corporates trying to infiltrate your identy, personal data, and simple and sometimes your life. So if you like wat I'm saying or where I'm coming from comments reach idk. It's a community state your mind. Thank you n God Bless!! 

    Ps. Also it would be a gd idea to have an option where u can actually choose to place your device in any of the channels available suck 5g 4g or 2.5g...

    Internet's been great really fast but why is upload speed so slow compared to down load speed 

      • Calion

      Perrycarnegie25 That’s your ISP throttling your upload speed so you don’t host a server.

    Is there a way to access the 5Ghz and 2.5Ghz networks separately? Half of my smart devices stopped working when we installed an Eero router, because we couldn't configure the 2.5Ghz network separately.

I read a lot of posts talking about this problem but I cannot find a solution…. Please help me with a solution or be transparent and tell me the truth… that this’ll never work and I have to return the eero

    Hi,

    I had a request/suggestion.

    Would it be possible to create and ‘unknown devices’ profile that new ‘unknown’ items would automatically get assigned to? Then you could set a default/controlled access. For those items. 
    I ask because if someone (my kids) makes their Wi-Fi connection ‘private’ then their device is not recognised and they are labelled as an unknown device. This then allows them to access the internet with no controls/restrictions in place. 
    If these new connections were forced into the ‘unknown devices’ profile I could put time and content restrictions on it that would dissuade them from this workaround. 
    Love the products. Keep up the good work. :-)

       It would be better to have a setting to block any new device until the admin allows it. That is something I’d like to see currently I just get a notification that a new device has been added
