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. :-(

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.

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

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.
