Eero WiFi Channels

[GerryMac]

Hi,

Been reading other threads regarding the above. My EEros are using Ch155, with a control channel 153,( 5HGz) with intermittent breaks in connection. I have 3 eeros, one in living room and the other in dining room and one connected to the fibre box, but as I move from room to room my smartphone seems to connect to the furthest unit. This happens quite regular tioo with the main TV connecting to either the hall/dining room which buffers ITVX/I-Player at times..this means I have to reset the Network connections on the TV for it to connect to the nearest eero.

Is this a problem with All eeros on 5GHz only.

The 2.4 GHz is using CH6,Control Ch6 with no issues.

Cheers.

Morning Michelle,

My connection has been 100% since the weekend. I,ve checked the Ch change and it,s now on Ch42 on 5GHz. I,m now connecting to each eero thats sited around the ground level of my home. When I go up-stairs it,s still connecting to one of them even though I have a TP Link extender plugged in on the landing.

Will monitor and post back if there are any significant changes.

Many thanks for your assistance on this, as alaways.

Cheers.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the update. I'll ask the team to confirm if the update has been rolled out.

Morning Michelle,

Had a problem over the weekend with the I-Player playing up. I just reset Network setting within the TV and connected fine. Unsure as to what eero it connected to.

Checked the App and the 5GHZ is now back to CH42, over the weekend it had reverted back to 42.

I,m typing from the dining room and both my phone and the other TV are connected to the nearest eero, which isn,t too far away.

I take it the Fix has been rolled out?

Will keep retesting over the next few days.

Hi Michelle,

Had a notification on my phone yesterday for an update on my eero. Got home from work last  night and performed another update. AFAIR I had done one last week to. Last night I looked and seen the channel had changed. In work now so can't  check but it,s definitely changed.

Would that be the update?...current software is v7.2.2-16.

Will check tonight when I finish work.

 Cheers

Hi Gerry,

Ok thanks for confirming. I will raise this to our Devices Team now as there is a fix that can be applied for the channel 155 issue. I'll post back to confirm once this has been applied so that you can retest this.

Thanks

Hi Michelle,

It seems to be a few the ones that I have mentioned, the main TV in living room, 2 other smartphones and another TV in dining room. I think the TV in dining room is connected to the RE300 TPLink extender which is upstairs on landing. That gives a one bar signal for this TV. All TV,s and phones all up-dated to latest firmware.

Cheers.

Hi Gerry,

Can I just confirm, is it all devices or specific devices which are experiencing this issue on channel 155 please?

Thanks

Michelle
