802.1Q VLAN Trunking
In addition to the ability to add multiple SSIDs and assign VLANs to each, 802.1Q trunking for these vlans would be required to allow the EERO to tag traffic that is being sent out.

Dozens of smart devices running in my network. VLAN is a must.

Yes!!! Please
-
This would allow us to secure the IoT devices that keep showing up at home. would prevent many of us I am sure from purchasing a competing product as there are a few who seem to understand. I love my eero and don't want to give it up but this is becoming a bigger hole in our houses for sure.

Anyone from eero team reading this forum at least acknowledge this request and give us some feedback. There are so many customer would like to see this feature so we can enhanced our security at our home.

+1 for VLAN and multiple SSIDs, please!
This quote from the recent Eero-Homekit announcement proves the necessity of such features for advanced installers:
“We believe customers should have not only fast, reliable wifi, but a system they can trust that is secure and private,” said Nick Weaver, eero CEO and Co-Founder. “We are continuing to deliver on that promise today with support for HomeKit. We’re committed to an open, secure, and private smart home and firmly believe customers should be able to use the smart home products they enjoy most, whether they work with Alexa, Amazon Wi-Fi Simple Setup, Apple HomeKit or all of the above.”

Please add this feature, it is wise for those savvy enough to use it and can be left disabled for those that don’t want to.
-
Please update this thread on Eero's timeline for this important security feature. This has become a huge issue for IoT and best practice security.

Its been three years, you really think they will implement this? The target market is not us or anyone who actually cares enough to learn about proper networking. Eero is the Apple of WiFi, and I dont mean that in a positive way. Plug it in, trust us, its magic. Somehow modifying DNS is an advanced feature, what a joke.

Finally had enough, I have an an Eero Pro and the Beacon around 6 months old that I am getting rid of for Ubiquity, any takers? Hit me up at zman442 at gmail dot com.
-
Oh wow I just just looking for them it can’t be coincidence.
-
As a security professional this is a deal breaker. I just bought the 3 pro set up and I think I’ll be returning it. The ability to support multiple networks beyond primary guest is a basic security feature today, remarkable they have missed the mark here.
-
Adding this would really put it over the top into amazing territory. Or at least adding support for a DMZ.
-
I have loved the performance and stability of my Eero’s, but the lack of company response on this topic (SSIDs, VLANs and VLAN trunking) has been really disappointing. I unfortunately will have to dismantle this reliable (5 eero) WLAN and migrate to Ubiquiti or some other option with mature security features.
-
So, Is there any update on 3 years old feature request??
-
I’m a new eero pro user, and so far the performance and reliability are much better than my Linksys Velop mesh. I really want to leverage this with my IoT segregation using a managed switch with 802.1Q and pfSense. I’m going to have to set the Velop back up as dedicated IoT mesh and segregate there. Quite ridiculous.
Someone, please, please, please... give an official update. Even unofficial would be good.
-
This would convince me to keep my Eeros and not jump to Unify AP products. Unify AP's can have up to four SSID's per AP and vlans.
-
+1 from me. Any news on this? Request was first made three years ago. Is the hardware on the Eero actually capable of supporting VLANs with just a firmware update? Some kind of definite answer would be appreciated or I might need to (very reluctantly) sell my Eeros and move to a different AP, Ubiquiti maybe. Much rather stick with Eeros as I now have 6 units. Can someone please at least give an update?

This is from one of the developers:

My semi-informed guess: it's not happening anytime soon. I'm just going to setup a new IoT WiFi Mesh with my old Generation 2 Pro nodes, then do the trunking of all that traffic when it hits the physical port of my managed switch.
-
Hi Eeromn2020
So do you mean you will run two totally separate wifi networks from one managed switch? Is that right?
-
I just left my IOT devices on eero (bridged mode and assigned it to an iot vlan) and migrated everything else to Unifi products since they support multiple VLANs.
-
OK thanks md. I also (I guess like many others) am aiming to isolate my IOT but share single incoming WAN with my main network using VLANs from my managed switch. I have two separate sets of Eero if necessary so I guess if no VLAN support on Eero anytime soon I will just need to do it that way.
