How-to: Submitting Feature requests

Please read before submitting a feature request!

Welcome to the Feature requests portion of the eero community! This is your opportunity to share the features you'd love to see with both the eero staff and community.

IMPORTANT When posting to the feature request section, keep each post to a single feature. This allows us to both have a single discussion and track the progress if we are currently working on or have recently completed a project.

If a feature you'd like to request already exists in our community, we ask that you either chime into or "like" the existing topic.

Please note that we don't discuss future plans.


Feature request status labels:

Under Consideration If a post has this status, it means that we are currently reviewing whether or not we will be moving forward with the feature request. From here, it will either move to Planned or Not Planned.

Planned: If a post is marked as Planned, it means that it is a feature we plan to implement at some point in the future. Whether or not we include a timeline, it indicates this is something we plan to build into eero.

Not planned: If you see Not Planned, unfortunately, that means this isn't something we plan to build right now. However, don't let it stop you or anyone from telling us it is something you want. We are always reviewing past and new feature requests.

Started: This is where it gets exciting! This means we have started working on this feature and hope to have something more to share with our customers in the near future.

Implemented: The feature has been added! This means we have shipped the new feature and it will be available to our customers.

To get started, visit the topic page and tap Request a feature. You will need to include a topic and the content of the post.

    I like my eero 6 mesh system. But I want to use a vpn provider of my choice. I know there is the new secure plan which is helpful, but many people already have a vpn service or license. I have already paid for a service and would like to configure it onto my eero system for network wide use.

    Device Prioritization/block devices from specific Eeros

    Hi there needs to be an option to remove devices when you want instead of letting them fall off that are unconnected.

      i believe u can block a device on the network. would that achieve the same goal?

      rogerss2010 I’m looking for a option to be added to completely remove inactive or old devices. Blocking them still keeps them on.

    I think it is incredible that I get a notification when a new device joins the network, but if we could take this a step further and have the Option to enable Default Block/Pause any device that joins the wifi network (not necessarily the wired network) which would allow the admin to authorize or deny access. 

     

    This would be useful because it is easy for anyone to remember or see the wifi pass phrase once added to the network which would allow them to add other devices at their leisure. This would also prevent the admin from needing to change the wifi password for every device connected to the network should they happen into this circumstance. 

     

    You might think, then only give suspect persons access to the guest network, well there might be reasons they need access to the main network or maybe it’s other household members, or acquaintances of, that are adding unauthorized devices. 

     

    Please consider.

    As an eero user, I’d like to be able to block You Tube whilst allowing Kids You Tube in App Blocking.

    Pertaining to a Secure & Secure+ features... I'd like to see content filtering based on device intelligence, in addition to the age of the human that will use it. Some people do not have children connecting to their home network, but would still like to block traffic on a rogue smart plug or bulb. As there are different levels of intelligence (Ex: computer vs echo vs plug), it would be nice to have the ability to create a filter category based on the level of intelligence.

    Pertaining to Secure & Secure+ features... I'd like to have the ability to see blocked traffic, or just traffic in general. Along with this, I'd like the ability to make exceptions of false positives. As it stands, the current blocked threat graph does the user little good. I see that we can create custom block and permit lists, but the default threat blocking that occurs with a Secure subscription gives me zero insight.

    I think the content filtering is great. However, I find it to be very lacking in certain areas. I was intrigued to keep my eero secure subscription but it just didn't make sense given these deficiencies. Currently, it only allows me to create a profile for devices that have previously been connected to my network. However, that is useless for robust content filtering.  I should have the option to filter the entire network as a whole. Anything coming from the router to any device should be filtered if I opt for that setting... Without that, I cannot have peace of mind that my children aren't viewing inappropriate content on devices that I'm not aware of.

       agree. I can’t see paying $100 a year for such limited controls. I want my netgear with Circle back frankly.

    Another feature that I think should be standard, is the ability to override and select which specific eero device you want to connect to at a given time. For example, when I am in my dining room, it automatically switches to the dining room eero which cuts my speed in a half. However, if I were to remain connected to the original router in my bedroom, which is what occurs before it automatically changes to the dining room eero, I get faster speeds even though I have slightly less bars in terms of reception. The only reason why I have an eero device in the dining room is so I can connect another eero device in the basement so I can have internet downstairs, but by doing that, I effectively slowed my internet in the dining room compared to the speeds that I had before I even purchased the eero system.  Very frustrating.

    The Client Steering beta offering is a great add, but it doesn’t seem to have a consistent approach to analyze and redirect more static connections (not phones or tablets that “roam”).  Is there a thought to do a “force” rebalance via the app, as I notice the EERO nodes often have very unbalanced connections in my home. (I have an 8,000 sq ft residence on 4 levels with 10 nodes, and some connections seem very odd because of a suboptimal distance, etc.)

    Have White/Black list ability is great but a feature of Disney’s Circle device/software is to see the history of where devices in a profile are hitting and then to add them easily to a white/black list.

      jmatero Right, but we’re talking about features most routers have that the Eero is clearly lacking. Also, a circle is just one more thing/system/app you have to find and manage devices you already have setup/labeled in the eero app.

    Hi there! I wanted to share some valuable information about the Eero 6 systems.  I absolutely LOVE everything about what Eero has done for my home.  But I just experienced as a homeowner my very first issue with the Eero Pro 6 that the staff may want to look into.  I recently purchased a stand alone home generator through Generac.  There is a time during the process of setup where you will have to link up your generator through the developer's app in order to connect the generator to Wi-fi.  Myself along with the installers and customer service, also with Eero customer service as well as no solution was found other than the generator's Wifi module did NOT like anything about the Eero mesh systems and that was the reason it never showed.  My only working solution at this point (thank goodness I worked I.T. for awhile) was to purchase a separate cheap router for specifically the generator of its own.  Of course after setup, the generator immediately showed up on the list to be connected.  I hope the techs can look into this as I wish I could've just added the generator to the Eeros so the process would've been so much quicker and cheaper...

    Eero secure and secure+ are worthless if they do not include content filtering on the guest network. Quite frankly this should be a priority. I am really frustrated with how this is not currently supported and not even an asterisk on any of the sales or support sites.

    Add in a "placement check" to have the eeros in the network do a test to see the strength between each and their connections. I've been moving eeros throughout my home periodically and would love to know which ones are too far or not receiving the greatest communication strength between one another.

      Flamand2468 I like this suggestion.

      Or they could tell us what the recommended dBm is between nodes.

    Add a feature that allows parents to see any websites trying to be accessed that were blocked by the Eero network/content filter. If my child gets to a "violent" site, it would be informative to know what they were trying to find or if it was just a mistake. Don't track every site but only the ones blocked by the content filters.

       this is essential. For $100 a year, eero can’t tell me the websites or apps which were blocked due to adult content? Darn right I need to know that info! Sometimes the classification of a website is just flat-out wrong, too. 
       

      I have no expectation anyone at eero is working on anything though, sadly.

    I would love to see some sort of secure login to the eero iOS app. I have to login to many apps with critical or sensitive information so why not take into consideration that someone might get ahold of an unlocked phone and tamper with internet settings through the eero app.

    Where are the new beta features?  Been a customer for a year, and not seeing anything new…
