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 would like to see EERO keep statistics on how often the Internet service to the house is dropped.  We live in a fairly rural area with frequent loss of Internet - AT&T denies that it happens, so it would be handy to have that statistic reported on request.  It would be nice if it kept themlast 28 days of service and the number of outages that occurred each of those days.

    New Beacon 6?

    I love my old gen2.0 beacons, easy to plug directly in the wall, night light, no silly cables everywhere…

    I upgraded my pro router to 6, but kept my old beacons because of that.
    Not a big fan of the boxey eero 6 extenders that need a table or a pricey plastics wall mount from eBay.

    Bring some new ones back!!! With wifi6 upgraded insides… pretty please!

    …and with uk plugs ideally!

    Don’t know if this is possible but I wish there was a way to extend the range of the system. I wish there was a way to run a test in the app, where we could diagnose what settings we could adjust to make our internet faster or stronger.

      Spencerabellay I just keep adding eeros to extend mine.  We started with 3 but now have 5.  We got cheaper ones that plug into the wall.  In theory we shouldn't need them, but in practice they have helped tremendously.  Pre-eero our kids did all their gaming sitting on the stairs in the middle of the house bc hubs did not allow them in the office where the router was.  Now we are all in separate rooms, which was key for online school during COVID.

    Hello, I'm new, I just bought the eero 6+ pack and I love it. But these days I realized that there is no possibility that choosing a device such as a TV connects to an eero that is winged, on the contrary it connects to another that is in the corridor, and to solve that I have to restart and detect the one that is nearby. But sometimes that varies. I would like you to be able to choose which to connect to a device that will not move like a TV.

      erickcrispy — That would be a natural add to the reservations page — just add the eero you want to service the device (and it should tell you if that eero is not optimal as a warning).

    Profiles should be allowed to specify band used (limit to 2.4/5/etc) and daily usage limits as well as safety profiles/blocking. Some of my devices will not connect to 5Ghz if 2.4Ghz is available (even though they should) and some get confused if both are available. I believe we used to have a Labs feature called band steering that was close to this. Thanks. (eero 6+/3units).

    Hello. First, must point out that I am really happy with eero and have multiple networks using multiple eero devices. I am running the app on iOS on both an iPhone and iPad. 
     

    Here is a suggestion
    When I get a notification marker in the app and then open the app there is no prompt as to what the notification was for. Was it a new device? Update? I can’t tell. 
    Also, being that I have two networks on my app, I don’t know which network the notification is for. Ideally, if I get a notification marker and then open the app, it should switch to the correct network and then telL me what the notification is for. 

    Thanks for listening!

    I’d like to see a push notification for if an Eero  goes offline. For example. I have an Eero in my garage on an outlet that is a GFCI that is also powering my freezer. If I got a notification when that Eero went offline I would have been alerted and could have saved all the items in my freezer.  Seems very useful.  Thanks

    It's been requested for more then 4 years now. The ability to throttle or cap devices is a much needed feature. I paid for eero secure thinking I would get this basic feature, but to my surprise yall don't have the option to throttle.

    Adding scheduling of blocking of websites during certain times of the day. As a parent that home school's their child with Stride/MOVA, the role of the teacher is done through the technology platform Stride provides. The teachers, however, utilize YouTube a lot during classes. Unfortunately, many older YouTube videos have not been adequately set up for parental controls, becoming unavailable for my son of eight to watch. The only way around such nuances is for the school to adjust its thinking on how it utilizes YouTube and ensure videos are presented to either support parental controls or circumvent parental controls through a safe URL link that can be programmed.

     

    Since many do not understand the depth of technology use, I believe my communications have fallen on deaf ears. A school that provides education through technology should understand the parental desire to implement safety measures of setting appropriate age restrictions for websites, such as YouTube and general web searches, given the child has unfettered access to the computer during the time they are in class. This leaves the only option that security providers such as eero take into account flexibility in design for circumstances where parental controls may interfere with daily activities yet are needed outside certain hours of the day.

    In such cases, disabling parental controls on chrome can be utilized, and YouTube can be allowed during specific time frames while class is in session, then disabled after that. Or perhaps a combination of timing of eero parental controls and blocking of websites to optimize deficiencies in online learning and understanding of technology and the role of the parent to safeguard their children when they have access to the whole of the Internet.

    It would be nice to have a knob for disabling an SSID.

    Hello. I recently ran into this issue where I was trying to log in to my hydro bill website to consult my bill/account and kept getting redirected to the login page. I found out today after some experimenting and some luck that it was due to the Advanced Security feature being toggled on in my Eero application. 

     

    While I do really appreciate an advanced security feature, there was no indication that the failure to access my account was due to Eero blocking access. Therefore, my suggestion is for Eero to have a message that appears when a website is blocked. Something similar to, "This webpage has been blocked because our Advanced Security feature has detected....." 

     

    That way, if it is indeed a trusted website, then users could know right away and either toggle it off or add it to the allowed websites list.

    Would love to be able to override channel. Eero assigned channel 6 to 2.4. When running a channel analysis. All of my neighbors are also using channel 6. Channel 1 is 1 user. Channel 11 has no users.

    This has probably been said already, but can you please add an option that allows the network admin add or block devices that want to join their network. Our teenager has found ways to bypass blocking, or setting a time for his Xbox to turn off. Please make this happen

    I would like to be able to turn down the broadcast levels of certain nodes or have better client steering (not band steering). I have a lot of Apple products which are pretty sticky. Maybe this is accomplished through multilateration to determine rooms and proximity.

    Reconaissance Protection would be nice, specifically from port scans and sweeps.  A port scan on the internet facing connection from eero shows several closed ports. It would be nice if eero didn't respond and appeared stealthy from port scans from the internet.

    This is to do with the firmware and as off late it has been very good blocking all threats and it doesn't seem to be blocking scans which might be the next thing that we might want to do because there is always someone looking for a way into the Router OS so they can drop their malware onto our routers and that is something that must be blocked and not permitted.

    More “green” device types and icons?  I’ve had a few things join my network lately that don’t fit, such as my EV, Solar inverter and the backup battery. Thanks.
