I'm running the eero 6 provided, and I have been having none stop issues to my PC, running win 10. I use ethernet through powerline and a intel wifi card. Both have similiar issues.
- When booting the PC for the first time in a day (usually in the evening after work) it sometimes fails to connect for a long time. I often have to restart the eero and modem manually (turning it off at a wall for a few minutes before turning it back on), but this doesn't always fix it.
- When the connect becomes stable, it often remains so until I turn off and reboot the PC the next day. Not always though. In fact, while writing this post out, I saw the connection dip and die at random. No touching of the ethernet or eero, no new program been booted. Just died while writing and streaming music.
- Upon playing games which are network connected, the connection drops. The entire PC has lost it's connection - I'm not able to open a webpage, or music streaming will cut out. Sometimes, shutting down these games will see the internet restored. Something it won't.
- When these things go down, it largely doesn't seem to effect other wireless devices connected to the eero.
The major issues I have is the problems are absolutely not consistant, and the solutions are neither. All of these fixes sometimes work, and sometimes don't:
- Manually restart the eero and modem.
- Swap the ports been used by the powerline and the modem into the eero.
- Swap the plugs the powerline are using
- Physically move the PC.
- Disabling the ethnernet and/or wifi card device in the PC's device manager and renabling it
I am also in the unique position that I spend half my time living in one location, and half my time in another. I actually transport my PC between these locations. I have no issues in the other location. Additionally the powerline set up used in the problem location worked perfectly before my swap to TalkTalk and the eero.
I can only conclude there is some issue in the eero, modem or with TalkTalk.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of and I'm losing my mind. The system is essentially not fit for purpose. Is there another solution or fix I have not tried, or is it possible to request a different router and return the eero?
