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.

Hi, I would like to add a feature request to the Eero App. It seems quite a lengthy process to see what port forwards you have set up and are in use (open) . You need to go into every device, and yes I have a few to see what's enabled. I would just like a link that takes you to all the ports that are currently open and what device they are linked to. then it would be easy to lock down the port if it had been left open by mistake.

Tried to read through the comments and see if this has been suggested before but I don’t think it has.

It would be nice to be able to steer devices to specific routers or a way to set a static router for specific devices.

Dear Eero Router Support, I appreciate the security suite in the eero router that detects malware, spyware, and spam. However, I've noticed that when it detects something, it doesn't specify where or on what page/application it was found, just the device it was found on. It would be really helpful if the system could provide more specific information about the location, like the website or application, as it's frustrating not knowing where the issue originated. My other security tools provide more detailed alerts. Can you please consider adding this feature so that we have a better understanding of the threats? It just makes sense to provide more context when something is detected.

I know isn't the first time this has been brought up,
but the vague answers are Just no help or answer to the questions.🤷

  if you had OpenPFsense then you could have antivirus scanning software that prevents malware from spreading and also prevent port scans and there wouldn’t be as many data leaks as well but there would need to be something like the UDOO RYZEN Bolt V1000 maker board SBC included in side the Eero router

What I really need is an outdoor eero. I need something I can plug in out in the weather that will extend the mesh coverage to the rest of the property. I'd buy four of those.

  What about putting a eero in a waterproof enclosure that is transparent to RF and has cable glands insert to allow the cable to pass through so the unit can be powered up also it also needs to be vented so that it won't overheat.

  — There's more to outdoors than water — but that would likely work for that part of it. They even have those that you can buy. But one mistake and it's dead eero and no warrantee. Maybe I could try it with an old one that I could sacrifice. I'd rather just plug it in and mount it to a barn wall, a workshop wall, a fence post, etc, and have it hardened against water, freezing temps, hot temps, etc. They make these for other mesh systems that are a little higher price point, but I like the eero a lot more for other reasons.

  Why would you when it gives you the information about what is connected and it's URL(Quad)

  thanks, I’m sorry. Not too tech savvy. How do I match”unnamed devices” to each wireless device?

  I agree, that would be nice. The only way I know to try to figure out which "unnamed device" is which, is to pause the device and see if anyone yells "hey did the internet just go out??"
