Request: Dynamic DNS Support
Support for a few basic DynDNS services (DynDNS, NoIp, etc) would be greatly appreciated for remote access.
Currently I'm having to run a control applet/service on my local PC to keep everything up-to-date (and it generally works); however being able to do it on the router would be ideal.
Much thanks.

I had to have DDNS for my doorbell and security system. I find it hard to believe that eero hasn't implemented it. I haven't sold my Eero system (yet) but I did replace them with Netgear Orbi. The Orbi are big and clunky but they support DDNS and know about No-IP and other DDNS venders. It's sad. I hope I can resurrect my eero system in the future... but it looks doubtful.

Unfortunately this isn't even on the "under consideration list". Neither is VPN. Guys I recommend getting a good router and putting the Eero in bridged mode. The features of this product are too limited and these are essentially extremely expensive access points. Although I will admit, they do the wireless piece pretty damn good! I have full coverage in my 3-4 story house with only three Eeros.

DDNS is a basic feature for any modern firewall. Support for Port Forwarding without support for Dynamic DNS is like removing the street number from your house, then putting the front door in a different location every three months, and expecting not to frustrate the people who need access to your house.
Of course there are workarounds! But that's not the reason I invested in Eero! I believe we all invested in Eero to some degree or another so us nerds in the family didn't have to keep maintaining workarounds supporting those in the family who just want things to always work.
Bottom line DDNS is low hanging fruit in terms of cost benefit in relation to development effort. Give us one less thing to maintain Eero! =D

Me too. I just installed my eero 3 with each eero wired, and love it. I am currently bridged to allow DDNS from old router for security cameras and home automation. I’d also like to see a second non-guest SSID allowed, as I just spent a few hours resetting WiFi cams, due to them being on my 5g SSID on old router. Another simple feature would be to allow a nickname for devices, especially the ones that the hostnames don’t show up. Keep up the great work!
