I'm surprised that so many people here own an eero or were going to buy one. Last I checked, they required a sign-in and were completely unusable if the Internet connection went down. The router simply will not work if it can't phone home. Is that no longer the case?
If Amazon fixes that, I'd almost be more likely to buy one (if I ever get tired of my AmpliFi HD).
EDIT: Looks like eeroOS 3.9 was supposed to have fixed network persistence a few months ago, but no word on whether you still need to sign up for an account to use it. Can anyone confirm? https://community.eero.com/t/m26cfr/offline-wlan-access https://community.eero.com/t/m26cfr/offline-wlan-access
- monochromatic 8y agoThe network still functions when the internet connection goes down. I think you do need an account though.
- epc 8y agoI don't use eero+ (their managed firewall service) and run my eeros in bridge mode behind an ISP router/firewall…so with those caveats: my wifi has stayed up even when the uplink to the ISP is down. I have not tried managing the wifi when this has happened so it's possible that the app doesn't work.
