Major Highlights of the Week

Subscription Upsell
Users are frustrated with constant upsells to a subscription model, feeling pressured to pay for features that should be standard. This aggressive monetization strategy is perceived as a tactic to limit user control over their purchased hardware.
Amazon is making a hard press to push users of the eero hardware system into a subscription model, I don’t need another subscription in my life.
Device Identification
The app struggles to accurately identify connected devices, often labeling them as 'unknown,' which complicates network management. This lack of precise device recognition undermines user confidence in the app's ability to manage their network effectively.
The app works well but it has limited information and features compared to Spectrum. It doesn’t identify WiFi devices well.
Firmware Update Loop
A persistent issue with the app involves an endless firmware update loop, where the app attempts to install an outdated version, causing user frustration. This problem highlights a critical flaw in the update management system, affecting user experience and trust.
Privacy Concerns
Users are concerned about the app's requirement for personal data, such as email and phone number, to set up the router, which they view as an unnecessary invasion of privacy. This requirement is seen as a barrier to user adoption and satisfaction.
I’m not giving you all my info just so I can use your app. Looks like I’m bringing back this junk router.
Network Stability
Frequent network disconnections and instability, especially after updates, are a major concern, leading to a poor user experience. This issue is exacerbated by the app's inability to provide effective troubleshooting or resolution.
Never stays connected. Only gives about 30-60 minutes, then off and no way to reconnect without deleting the app and starting over again.
Feature Limitations
Basic features like device blocking and content filtering are locked behind a paywall, frustrating users who expect these functionalities as part of the standard package. This approach is seen as a deterrent to fully utilizing the app's capabilities.
I can not black list youtube or any app without paying for Eero+ subscription, which is over $159/year.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app works well but it has limited information and features compared to Spectrum. It doesn’t identify WiFi devices well and lacks a refresh button. They need to redo the UI and add more useful information.

There's a current issue where the app keeps saying there’s a firmware update, but the update listed is actually the previous version. You can’t turn automatic updates off, and it’s in an endless cycle of trying to update firmware. Please fix this issue and give us more control over the products we’ve purchased.
BobP63
The most useful features are, unfortunately, behind a pricey monthly subscription. We already overpay for monthly internet from our local ISPs, so why would we want to add a needless subscription to access what should be provided with the purchase price of the Eero system itself?
