    Just wanted to note, theater with Omni tv and 2 echo studios was unbearable with WPA3 on. Once turned off, problem resolved itself

    My Tesla Wall Connector Charger will not connect to the Mesh when I toggle WPA3 on thus I cannot use WPA3 on my Eero network

    Shut it off.  You don't need wpa3.

    DNS often fails for local devices. E.g. iMac.local. I will try to connect, e.g. using ssh or something from a different device and it will claim the device is not known.  After a few retries it will simply start working.

    The ability to measure signal strength in various parts of the house would be a big plau!

       What have you tried?  I use one from farproc and it works flawlessly in residential and commercial spaces.

       Thanks for the information.  I tried the first three (of over 70) that show up on AppStore.  Apple might not feature the apps in the same order each time.  Anyway, thanks for the suggestion as it is a more robust set of tools than I had seen.

       apple is limited in how the apps work.  Most of these apps don't work well or at all on Apple devices.

    I’ve been having issues with IoT things lately.  But only in one room which is the room where the gateway eero.  
     

    I have two smart light bulbs and a smart plug.  Randomly they started shutting off after a minute of being powered on.  I thought maybe one was affecting the other, but at this point I’ve replaced them all with different brands and still have the same thing happening.  
     

    assuming it’s the gateway shutting them off,  but why?

    Any way to have an option of setting time limits on specific devices connected to the eero?

        create a profile and set time limits on that. Then assign any devices you want to limit to that profile. I use this to limit my kids devices.

       i see you can schedule the time or downtime but what I am looking for is for me to schedule a 3 hour timer so that after being in use for 3 hours, it cuts the internet.

       ah, yes. That isn’t available. To achieve device lock out, I use the apple screen time controls on my kids devices. Also Kindle offers a control for this, too.

    Two things I wish for. Have the ability to choose the channels you want to run on manually. Second, have the ability to deauthenticate a device. Sometimes a device stops responding and I want to kick it off
