eero Wi-Fi system 4+

I’ve struggled with my wifi (Virgin media hub) for ages. working from home I’ve had more drop outs of WiFi and each time i contacted virgin they say the box is fine and that it’s my VPN for the company I work for at fault. After going backwards and forwards I invested in these, and what a difference they have made. No more dropping off the works system, I get better coverage around the house and better coverage in the garden. Winner, definitely worth the money.

While the app provides a variety of useful functions, it falls short in the area of security. Given that children can easily access the app and change important settings, it’s crucial to implement extra security measures. Features like Face ID or fingerprint authentication would significantly enhance the app’s security, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that settings remain unchanged unless verified by the appropriate user.

Until these security enhancements are added, the app remains vulnerable to unintended alterations, which can be frustrating for parents and guardians. Strengthening login protocols with biometric authentication would greatly improve the overall user experience and provide peace of mind knowing that the app’s settings are secure.

This review highlights the importance of additional security features and suggests biometric authentication as a solution to prevent unauthorized access by children.

The setup process is over simplified. I needed to set up PPPoE credentials in order for my router to work. The app didn’t ‘unlock’ these configurations until I had completed the set up wizard. The wizard was reporting an issue connecting to the internet and the only available option was to try again. If I followed the apps advice I would have never got it working.

Also… there is an option to select the device type so you can categorise the devices on your network. It doesn’t work. When you select a type it basically just ignores your selection and reverts back to the automatically assigned device type (which in my case is wrong). My Nintendo Switch falls under the ‘other’ category and not ‘entertainment’. Feels a bit rubbish and something that would be easy to fix.

So yea. Amazing hardware. Disappointed with this app.
