I don’t kno what happen but ever since this recent update my wifi has been moving slower Nd on my Xbox I can play any games anymore because I’m constantly lagging and it’s also says double bat type detected
-
Myckel Make sure your ISP equipment is in bridge mode.
-
thatsthequy how do I do that
-
Myckel What ISP and what model of modem/router? Instructions usually can be found on your ISP website.

thanks everyone, I ended up removing the WP3 option again, but this time after removing the option, I reset all eeros again, and finally they were able to connect. So as info for future cases, removing the WP3 only will not do, it will have to be reset so the WP3 off actually kicks in.
-
I don’t kno what happened but ever since these last update my internet has been bad not to mention on my Xbox i literally lag on every game now and I’m also delayed it was never like that before idk what happened
-
When I turn on bridge mode my WiFi is even slower , it was perfectly fine before the last 2 updates now it’s just terrible I constantly have a double nat type
-
Okay I put it on bridge mode my nat type is open but my connection on every game is terrible I have a 1 bar on every game I play literally I’m constantly lagging this didn’t happen before
-
Myckel I'm telling yall man these things are not properly cooled. They get stupid hot and then their just horrible accidents waiting to happen

Existing devices appear to show as new devices when they switch to 5Ghz?
-
Kiran73 this is the norm with each new update you will see more improvement for all your devices.
-
Lunakorat This is frustrating as duplicates of devices are displayed unnecessarily. Can this be rectified?
-
Kiran73 are these Apple devices that started showing up multiple times? If so, it’s because of a new privacy feature in iOS 14 (released in September) to help prevent stores and companies from tracking you by using your device’s MAC address. The new privacy feature creates a new MAC address for each network it connects to. This makes the network think a new device is joining. But for networks that you’re ok with, like your home network, you can turn this off in Settings > WiFi > (tap the (i) icon > disable the “Private Address” option
After doing that process, eero will stop creating duplicate devices and the old ones will fall off the device list after a few days.
-
cMoo92 Thanks. That makes sense as it’s only Apple products. Will look into switching off.

WPA3 setting in beta apparently does more than enable WPA3 for devices that support it, it also blocks devices that don’t support it. My HP printer (older OfficeJet 8600) could no longer connect when I turned it on. So now it’s turned off.
-
Dntreid1819 I found I had the exact same problem with my HP envy 4500. With WPA3 turned on, this device is unable to connect.

Would REALLY be nice to see how much bandwidth/data has been used by each device and on what. My precious ASUS router would let me view usage by device/apps or by apps/device on a daily by hour basis, or weekly, or monthly summary. I could see when my kids spent hours on YouTube during home schooling hours. Eero shows nothing but current live activity. Can’t figure out where all my usage is coming from when affinity tells me I’ve used over 1.2 TB of data for the month. :-(
-
A second ssid that can be used for IIT and have it separated from main ssid. There are literally thousands of us wanting this. Your competition has this and Wi-Fi 6 upgrades are not too far out. You will have a mutiny if you ignore us.
-
I wanted to let the beta people know that the Eero Labs suite (less the gaming/conference feature) killed connection to my HP printer. It could "see" the network, and I cut the speed to 2.4 on the app to try to let it connect, but it wouldn't. I had to print something right then, so I tried turning off the suite, and immediately it printed. I don't know which one of the new features is doing it, but if you want to know, I'll go back and turn it back on and find out. This is an OfficeJet 8600 with all updates.
-
Enabling WPA3 failed to work consistently across most of our devices, in all kinds of device categories. Some devices could no longer connect (e.g., a Kindle and an older iPad), some devices started seeing hand-off connectivity issues from beacon to beacon (Pixel phone with latest Android OS), and in some cases, when devices would wake up, I'd need to disconnect and reconnect to the network for the io internet to pick back up (particularly with laptops).
-
I have been testing local DNS caching.
I had issues with saved links to e.g. twitter accounts.
I also had issues being unable to log in to particular corporate planning systems over VPN using Chrome (but not when using IE). This issue resolved itself as soon as I switched the beta functionality off.
So I will not be using local DNS caching for the moment.
-
When using the local DNS caching all my devices were showing as offline. All devices were connected to the network. As soon as I turned off this feature they all appeared online again. Seems like a bug
-
Paulb leaving overnight things seem to have stabilised. So maybe not an issue, couldn't delete post, so please ignore the above

Really like the band steering feature l, but I’m not seeing it actually work very well. If I disconnect from the WiFi and then reconnect when standing near the Eero AP, then it connects on 5Ghz. After waking further away it flips to 2.4 GHz (as somewhat expected). But as I walk even further away and near proximity of a second Eero AP, my WiFi session roams to the second AP, but it always connects to the second AP via 2.4 GHz, not 5Ghz (even if I’m standing right next to the second AP). The only way I can get the device to then connect to the second AP on 5Ghz is to turn my devices WiFi on/off.
I’m seeing this behavior on an iPhone XR
-
Jamiebro unfortunately, it’s up to your device to choose what AP to connect to and what frequency to use. eero can try and do workarounds (like band steering) to try and “motivate” your device to connect to an AP, but ultimately it’s up to the device (which in this case is your iPhone). Apple, and every other device vendor, has programmed the logic into their devices to decide what AP to connect to, and also when to roam to a different AP.

Reporting trouble with the wpa 3 configuration. I have a new Samsung S25G phone that will not connect when WPA 3 is enabled. Kicks both of our Samsung cell phones off the network stating password error. When the feature is disabled the phone's reconnect with no problem.
-
WaveSouth similar issues. Some devices refuse to connect when wpa3 is enabled. Nintendo switch, ring doorbell, and ecobee3
-
Diaz9910 I thought it was just me I have similar issue with APPLE TV
-
-
Can we have app support to delete items from eero? In the case of sold or items I no longer have, it would be nice to clean up the app a bit and delete items that are no longer in the household.
-
This is awesome to be apart of beta testing on new improvements.
I think it is imperative to have the option of toggling bandwidths to easily set up devices that can only use 2.4ghz. Right now I have to use a work around and it’s frustrating to say the least.
-
Why can’t I choose the “beacon” I want to connect to? I’ve got devices connected across the house instead of the beacon closest & without the best connection.
-
Thebrannans I agree, I have the same issue
-
-
The bandwidth optimization is great. An improvement will be to prioritize which devices are critical for bandwidth, so if quality suffers there's a lower probability of the critical devices suffering
-
Bro you guys gotta fix this is getting out of hand ,idk what you guys updated but I had to put my stuff on bridge mode and now I get a 2.05 download speed and a 0.58 upload, I literally have 50 MB’s Nd if I take it off of bridge mode I have a double nat type you guys gotta fix this cause before i never had a double nat type this is bad fr fix it so I can take it off of bridge mode please
-
Myckel double Nat isn’t a big issue just means it detects a NAT from the cable gear and a Nat from the eero. In many ways a double Nat actually adds a small amount of extra security.

-
EERO Lads beta cause HP Officejet 8600 not able to connect wireless
-
QoS? By MAC or by TCP port. I'd like to be sure any VoIP traffic or a specific machine is prioritized to the Internet.
-
How about a way to sort the leaf nodes on the main page for us OCD individuals 😃

Issue with devices connecting once enabling WPA3 feature on EERO router. In this instance it was Apple TV. I don’t know what Apple software there were running when I noticed the issue but once I disable the EERO WPA3 lab feature I was able to connect and update the APPLE TV’s to the latest update available which was 7.6.1. After the Apple TV updates and a restart I reenabled the WPA3 feature on the EERO which then again did not allow the APPLE TV to connect. It would show the network but once you tried to connect it would display a error message that the password was incorrect.
Again disabling WPA3 would allow those devices to connect.
I thought this feature allowed enhanced security for devices that are WPA3 capable, not disable or removed backward connectivity for WPA2 devices.

The gaming and conference calling optimization has disappeared fromm my options
