  • Just tested the setting to optimise gaming latency on an eero pro, and unfortunately,  it doesn't work very well. Download latency is still around 45-60 additional ms. When loaded compared to unloaded. The intention is to ensure that is around 5ms. 

    A pfsense a device connecting through a tuned pfsense box with the eero on the same Internet connection achieves a 5ms or lower loaded additional latency.  

    Bufferbloat the still seems to be an issue on the eero.

  • If the optimize for conferencing and gaming is turned on, does it optimize for hard wired devices or only Wi-Fi connect devices?

    Follow up question if the above is yes: does that hard wired device have to be connected to a non-bridged eero device?

  • I’ve been having issues with Apple Music and Apple TV where content doesn’t play at all. Apple Music songs either don’t play at all or stop after 15 seconds. Apple TV movies will stop and say “problem loading this content”. Everything will work fine if I disable WiFi or switch to the guest network. I have all eero labs features turned off.

  • I would like to see the implementation of a temporary pause of a filtered site or app (10-15 minutes would be ideal), and only the owner of the Eero would have access to it.

  • Will EERO ever do a vpn? I'm interested in getting one but I'm clueless on how to do it threw a vpn company and have it on all my devices. It would be a heck of alot easier if EERO just had there own!

  • Please add a way to deal with products that don’t get along with 5ghz networks. I just bought an expensive outdoor light system called FX Luminaire as part of our backyard remodel. It will not connect to Eero and I’m super bummed. I do not want to switch from Eero but I’m really stuck here. :(

      Aiman have you tried the troubleshooting legacy mode option to get the smartplug connection established?  Afterwards you can switch legacy mode back off and things should be fine.

  • How does the eero labs | "optimize for conferencing and gaming" determine which devices on my network to limit the amount of bandwidth they can use so that in the devices determined to be doing conferencing and gaming can have their traffic prioritized?

  • Hello, love the eero system, but have one suggestion.  Can you make it possible for connected devices to be assigned to an eero node (instead of being randomly assigned)?  I have a static IP setup for all of my devices across (6) eero's and they keep moving between 2 or 3 of my eero nodes, even though one of the eero devices is located the furthest distance away.  I know the mesh network compensates, but I'd like to have better control of my network and devices.  I don't want the eero(s) to change device assignment randomly.  Thank you!

  • if you turn on the conferencing and gaming control, it would be helpful to show devices that are affected.  I am also having trouble forcing one device to 5g connection.  I would also like to see wifi connection speed information and quality for each device.

  • Can you guys have a way better customer supports? 
    for sake… it’s been over a week I’m with you for a defective Eero which port 1 and wifi strength is really bad and stutter… bought 2 in July 2022 and one is acting weird since 2week… did my trouble shoot then I gave my result and the customer support isn’t helpful at all worst experience ever… anything that I do on this **** eero isn’t working still have a bad wifi and a bad port 1 … port 0 is perfect but what’s the point when you can only connect in wifi inside 5feet from it…

    • West McKillip That can be done in the eero app under Settings->Network Settings->DHCP & NAT by moving the dot to manual IP, selecting a premade one and then modifying the values below.  If you provide the range you are trying for I can provide you with the correct numbers to put in.

  • A bandwidth prioritization feature, setting, or profile would be great. The “Optimize for gaming and conferences” drastically slowed download and upload speeds (20 mb down/5mb up) on my gaming pc over Ethernet to the gateway through a gigabit switch. I have a gig through my ISP and the fastest speed I could reach is 748mb down and 40mb up with the optimize feature disabled.

  • First off, this is a really poor way to collect feedback. It’s a mess, and it’s unclear whether the developers are listening to anything said here.

    Second, let me reiterate that Optimize for Conferencing and Gaming really really needs to optimize for streaming video as well as conferencing. It is massively frustrating to watch my TV stutter continuously just because my son is downloading games on the Playstation. Please, please fix this!

  • Provide more details on what is being blocked. Providing just a number of "events" in a graph is nowhere near good enough for people who decide on a subscription. Seeing what is blocked helps the user/admin make decisions and explain to the family "what has Dad done to the WiFi again?"

    Thanks 👍

  • 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. :(
