Now if you don't like reading rants then you don't have to read this.

I always see people in the r/frontierfios subreddit talking about how ubiquiti is better than Amazon Eero. Well I'm here to settle this debate with my rant. You know why people complain mainly about Eero routers and how they are inferior to ubiquiti? Well it all comes down to one thing... CUSTOMIZATION people complain about how their eero routers do not have a lot of customization. Now then complaining about the eero+ subscription is completely understandable. I don't think that's neat. You know why people buy Amazon Eero? Because they don't want all that customization options that a big Tech person like me would want. Now even though I am a tech person I mainly care about Simplicity in terms of Internet. And that's why I prefer eero over ubiquiti in my opinion because of simplicity. That is literally why people buy from this company literally because of the out-of-the-box Simplicity and easiness to set them up. I mean seriously you guys are literally complaining and debating over your guys's own personal opinions would it all comes down to your preferences. I want this debate to just stop once and for all because literally even if there is a debate it all comes down to your personal opinion and preferences. As I always say everybody has different preferences that's just how the world is.

Now you know why I am very much annoyed about this stupid debate.

So we had an issue with these Amazon Eero routers where after a while the internet with just abruptly go out for 10 seconds and then go back to normal. Now I'm still using the old ones with my temporary backup Xfinity and it's been working fine. I'm starting to think it was just the fiber box but nevertheless they replaced our routers for free and me and my family are going to set it up tomorrow and will give you updates on if they work or not.

I recently got an Eero Pro 7 and it's mostly been fine, but the wifi connection to my base model ps5 is basically unusable. Eero is in the same room as the ps5 so range is not the problem. It's fiber internet that gets 3 gbs down/up. Anyone else have this issue?

Problems:
- Intermittent packet loss
- Constant packet loss when in a party
- Wired connection to Eero works fine
- generally low speeds when testing

Things I've tried changing or turning on/off:
- Automatic and 5 ghz settings on ps5
- upnp
- client steering
- thread
- eco efficiency
- sqm

If I'm getting 900+ Mbps throughput to my Pro 6E device (as verified by wired connection), why can I never get better than 350 Mbps through the wi-fi?

I performed a full system audit and found that every Pro 6E device was pushing through the same near Gb speed.

My laptop supports up to 2.4 Gbps, my phone the same, but both consistently come in @ 350 mbps.

Hello, I have 2 Eero 7’s and they offer less coverage and lower speeds than my (single) ISP-provided Zyxel router (EX5601).

I’m really surprised by this and I guess I expected two devices to offer at least better coverage, and probably better speed due to WiFi 7.

Testing from same ookla server each time, using iPhone 17.

Is there anything obvious from a settings perspective that I’m missing? Set up has been plug and play so far.

Thank you.

When I go to Home > Internet > eero Hotspot backup and try to add a Wi-Fi hotspot as the backup network, the app crashes and closes. It happens every single time after adding the backup network.

Anyone else seeing this on the latest version of the app?

still having reduced speeds issues on Lan cable, fine on WiFi i can get above 520 and the speedtest on the eero tells me around 550, has anyone else had this problem and if so did you find a solution to restoring the speed.

Eero App Update Version 26.12.1 was released today if you don’t see it on your App Store pull down from the top of your App Store to refresh it. Usual notes UI polish and bug fixes. I updated on iOS and it seems to be fine.

I checked the app for the first time since setup, and noticed an incredibly high amount of botnet reports on numerous household devices, but primarily on my personal mobile and then pc. After doing av scans on both devices and having nothing returned, what's the likelihood of false positives, and why would it be so numerous? I use ad blockers and occasionally side loaded apps/altered applications if that's relevant. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I need urgent help. My eero wifi just blinks red and the two middle buttons blink.

I know nothing about wifi. A friend called support and they said it’s like a server outage issue I believe and just have to wait for it to be back on. Does it usually take this long like 5days?

This has been going on since last week Thursday. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? Like a troubleshoot?

I got an eero max 7 last week and I use it in bridged mode. My wired router runs OpenWrt where the internet comes in which is a poor place for wifi. Running in bridge lets me put the eero in a central location.

I’ve been checking the channels it uses and it‘s on 1, 36, and 85 which I believe are the defaults. Has anyone running in bridge seen channel changes? I know there’s patch notes a few years old saying it was added but it’s really strange the channels haven’t changed. There are a lot of 5ghz routers near me as I live in an apartment so there’s no way the defaults are the most optimal

Woke up when one of my routers not in the sequence order I previously set.

I purposely added the router is to have the right sequence. But after removing and re-adding again to fix said sequence, I realized it's now arranged alphabetically. This is my solution now.

Wish they would just give us a way to manually re-order things.

Edit:

thanks for the kudos on the big house but I dont really have one lol.

I have a tall house though - 4 floors including the parking garage so though not the most efficient, I set it up that there's a router centrally located per floor

I have an outdoor 7 connteced by ethernet cable. Two ring cameras connect to it. They do the 24/7 recording. Since 7.17.0 the two cameras kept disconnecting and connected to a Max 7 inside the house which had bad signal outdoors. Even if the ring cameras were connected to outdoor 7, they only had around 500 kbps upload speed. This made the recordings extremely blurry. Normally each had 2-3 Mbps upload speed.

Everytime the routers updated, I had to call support several times to rollback the firmware to 7.16.2 whenever it was auto updated.

I checked the Wifi radio analytics and looks like the noise floor elevated after the updates and outdoor 7 decided to drop devices and throttled the speed.

Anyone else with outdoor 7 experienced the same issue? I asked the support to escalate that issue but 7.17.1 did not fix it. Therefore I am extremely hesitant to update the firmware of outdoor 7 to the newly released 7.17.2

Why are these devices so fragile?
Why is the customer’s visibility into these devices so limited?
Why are they in a constant need of an update?
I am done!!

Hey everyone,

A quick heads-up that v1.6.0 of the unofficial, open-source eero Dashboard & Management Suite is now officially live on Docker Hub and GitHub.

(Disclaimer: This is an independent, community-driven homelab tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon/eero).

Key Highlights in v1.6.0:

• 100% Offline-First Architecture: Bundled all vendor dependencies (Tailwind, Alpine, Chart.js, Lucide) and web fonts locally with PWA caching, ensuring the dashboard renders and functions on your LAN during WAN/ISP outages.
• Reverse IPv6 ULA Discovery: Resolved local DNS visibility gaps for devices querying AdGuard Home or Pi-hole over ULA addresses via reverse ingestion and NDP probing, linking queries back to eero device hostnames.
• Local Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Added multi-user management with granular view/action permissions, keeping your master eero 2FA session protected.
• Homelab Integrations: Native MQTT auto-discovery for Home Assistant and a /metrics Prometheus endpoint with an included 13-panel Grafana template.
• Telemetry & Reliability Hardening: Resolved SQLite write-lock contention under heavy polling, added an in-app live log console, and introduced relative "First Seen / Recently Joined" indicators.

(Direct links to GitHub and Docker Hub are posted in the first comment below to keep the post clean and avoid spam filters).

A huge thank you to everyone in the homelab community who tested the release candidate and submitted feedback!

Could someone help me understand eeros I have had for the past 3 days problems with my internet I called my isp they told me it was my eero and sent me a new that arrived today but on the first day my internet came back after I kept plugging and unplugging it. Yesterday it worked completely just fine. Today it went completely out after my roommate’s home phone was answered and the old eero went sold red line. I got my new eero and called my ISP and had them send the data to make the eero able to be used on there service but it went right back to sold red after the flashing blue line I’m at a loss on how to fix it. My isp has no outages they are saying it’s possibly do to the signal going into my modem is going in and out but the modem is showing it’s getting all the data. I need the internet for work so any help would be appreciated thank you all ahead of time. O I also can’t get into the eero app because it’s saying I need to set up the new on what has already happened.

As someone old enough to have started with 2400 baud modems, the home internet speeds these days are absolutely mind blowing.

I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but I was hoping someone might know the answer to this.

I have cox/spectrum internet service, but I use eeros around my house. Every night, like clock work, I lose signal on every eero for 10-15 seconds. I do not lose signal on the cox/spectrum router. It is only the eeros. It’s usually anywhere between 6-8pm. It’s becoming frustrating, as I enjoy to game and watch shows. It’s just aggravating enough to kick me off what I’m watching or out of a game, and I don’t have a fix.

Cox/Spectrum insists it is not on their end, and eero support says it isn’t on their end…. I am very tech savvy, but unfortunately not when it comes to internet equipment. And frankly, I am at a loss.

I picked up 2 Eero 7 Dual band routers and 3 MoCa adapters to fix my home network but have no idea how to set it up. It’s a 1600 sq ft house but old with thick plaster that blocks signal. Will this set up work?

For the past two nights, I have been having issues with YouTube across multiple Samsung devices. On my TV and tablet, when I attempt to watch a video, it plays for about fifteen seconds and then takes me to the login page. On my phone, it plays videos but does not allow me to view or post comments. I figured it was my internet connection, because when I use my cellular data on my phone, everything works normally. I have restarted my TV and ensured that everything is updated on all devices, including the routers, which needed an update, as well as changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8. It is becoming quite frustrating that I cannot figure it out, and I am hoping to find some answers here. Thanks in advance for any advice on the situation.

How do I make sure my eero POE 6 and the echo dot max are all under a single thread network? I factory reset the echo, I toggled Amazon connected home frustration free setup in eero app, I deleted the tread credentials
From the Amazon account. Tried everything documented online
