![]() Why are you even hereĪt a minimum, if the reason is that the excellent stability that eero provides is jeopardized by granting the ability to block a device from a specific one of the AP’s, then they should have that front and center and have an auto response when the request is posted (which is every week, multiple days a week). Or your other response, here for example, is *pushes up glasses* “well actually, it’s NOT that easy.” Cool. Your refusal to consider it’s eero’s job to assist in this connectivity issue is maddening because while that may be a flaw in a device the entire purpose of mesh is internet connectivity whereas the device has another job to do. So, hear me out, maybe some type of alternative solution to the issue (which is not unique or rare) *is* on the creator of the mesh and not the device maker. Which are either: “It’s the device’s fault.” Even though the device existed before mesh. You give the same pointless answers every time. How about 1) the company responds here instead of us having to search Reddit and hope we find this info you speak of and 2) you just go away. Txgunlover I swear to god you’ve been on this forum for years and provided almost no useful info or help. We appreciate your ongoing patience and feedback. But your feedback has been heard, and the right folks across the organization are thinking about it. There are a lot of pieces involved, and most importantly, it needs to be accurate and scalable. This feature, given the interest and value it adds, is important to us. That is what we've provided this community for, and so far it has driven requested features like Hairpin NAT, reboot from app, device blocking, device activity, eero connection strength, placement guides, health checks, and many parental control features within Family Profiles and eero Plus. More specifically-awesome things that our customers really want. While I don't have an update to share today, I wanted to provide a bit of clarity:Īs a company, we want to do a lot of different things. We know this is a big request, and the use cases everyone has provided are great examples towards pushing this feature out. Thanks for your continued contributions to this topic. It's a hassle, but maybe it'll be useful for you I've not had the time to debug much further than that, but it was at least somewhat helpful to figure out that some devices are going nuts and downloading lots of data when I wasn't expecting them to. I was using 40GB+ per day (according to comcast's usage graph) up until I put in the above "fix". While this is not a solution to "what is using all my bandwidth?", it has significantly reduced my overall monthly usage as reported by Comcast. ![]() I also manually block some devices from using the internet until I need to use them by finding them in the eero devices list, blocking it, and then unblocking it before usage. They are devices I *think* are potentially using up lots of my bandwidth when I'm not actively using the device-most likely the media server over the others, because I also have Steam on it, and it may update games overnight, etc. The devices added to that list are things like Roku, Chromecast, a media server (Plex), etc. Gilbert What I've done in the interim is put some devices on a "Family Profile" that blocks internet access overnight (11p-7a). I'm still on track to breach 1TB of bandwidth long before the end of the month. I was hoping Eero would have helped me zero-in on where my usage was going, but so far I've come up empty. TL DR I too have seen a spike in bandwidth usage over the past month, and do not have an explanation. I bought an Eero 2nd gen to see if perhaps something was amiss with my prev router, but now I'm on day 3, and the usage is still growing according to Comcast and I don't have a strong understanding of which device is doing this.īefore, it looked like my new iPhone 8+ was using 10-15GB per day (probably photos app? maybe Google Photos + iPhotos?) according to YAMon, but there were some days that had 130GB of "unexplained" usage that was measured at the router, and it wasn't coming from any device the router, or I, knew about. This month I've already used 740GB, and have no real explanation for it. It was so unexplained, I installed some monitoring software in my previous router (OpenWRT + Netgear router) to try and track usage. Alphex Interesting! It was just last month (October) that I first broke the 1TB limit w/ Comcast (1.3TB), after averaging 400-600GB per month before that.
