Congratulations on winning the first thread lottery, u/Accurate_Case_3257! Your prize is being the sticky thread for this release.
Discussion about the previous firmware release (v7.6.5-8) can be found in this thread.
Please use this thread to post your experiences (both good and bad) with the new firmware update as well as letting us know about any changes you notice.
Official Software Update Notes
Reminder: eero software updates are made available via a staged rollout process, where the update is installed on a small but gradually increasing percentage of eero networks. You may not see this update available in the app for a few days (or weeks, depending on the rollout’s progression). Per previous explanations from eero, “most networks” should be automatically updated to the new version within a few weeks of public release.
Official release notes are made available on eero’s Software Release Notes page.
If you have existing issues with your eero network(s) that you think this update may help solve, and you don’t want to wait, eero support can sometimes help you “skip the line” and push the new update directly to your network. Using the e-mail account associated with your eero account, send an e-mail to eero support ([email protected]) with the subject line “Reddit Followup - manual firmware push”. Be sure to let them know in the e-mail what time works best for you (the support team follows U.S. daytime working hours and thus can only accommodate requests in that timeframe) and which network(s) you’d like updated if you have multiple networks associated with a single e-mail.
I need more going on in my life. I get too excited for a router update that doesn’t change anything in my life lol
That’s a lot of builds.
This update has finally fixed my 6ghz throughput issues on my Max 7s!
Ugh. Do I install this tonight, or wait until eero bestows this upon me? My Max 7s have been humming along nicely under 7.6.5-8, no issues at all to report. Normally I’m jumping on these as fast as possible but I feel some incentive to hold off.
EDIT: I couldn’t resist the temptation. I regret it. Upload performance on wireless client devices is abysmal now. I’m seeing insanely lopsided speed test results on multiple devices - like 1350/20Mbps in the worst case scenario so far. Toggling Wi-Fi on the clients themselves helps a little bit, but even then some devices are only back to ~50% of their upload performance compared to 7.6.5-8.
EDIT 2: Not sure what’s changed but it seems like the performance issues have sorted themselves out? Since yesterday afternoon into this morning I’m seeing back to normal and expected speeds on my network. No idea what happened but glad it seems sorted out.
Hoping this will solve my Pro 6 issues. The update before this one seemed to add weird latency and speed issues.
Edit: Updated with no issues. Speed is still impacted on Apple devices, but not a big deal. Latency is more stable than before.
After one of the recent updates (in the past couple months), I’ve noticed my Apple laptops often have slow speeds over Wifi. A good/typical result might be 400/100 Mbps, and the bad result might be something like 90/5 Mbps. The problem fixes itself if I turn Wifi off and back on. The laptop is connected to the same eero before and after toggling the Wifi. Anyone else experience some odd behavior with Apple laptops lately?
In any case, hopefully this 7.7.0 fixes it!
Thank goodness. Things have been not performing and quite unstable. /s
All 4 eero 7s are upgraded and working very well
Anyone else experiencing connectivity issues with this update? My AppleTV 4k on tvOS 18.2 keeps dropping connection since this update. iPhone 16 pro connection is just fine. Have two max 7s
MLO is still in the works, due to the issues from the last launch were Guest network enabled was causing conflict issues so they had to pull it ASAP, it wont be a firmware update as they can just switch it back on to enable through eero apps and insight.
Ok, so things are stable for me, all Max 7’s for wifi…with a PoE gateway. Since the upgrade, my 2.4 band is just insanely noisy and tons of interference. Anyone else seeing this? I’ve rebooted all of my Max 7’s (individually) to no effect and rebooted almost all of my 2.4 devices. Next is reboot the whole network. I dont see any other connectivity issues, I just hate bad charts!
3 networks upgraded - 2nd gen, 6E and 6 Pro. All working fine!
Suddenly getting so much Ping/Packet Loss on my Eero Max 7 since the update. I used to only have ~20ms w max up to ~30ms. Since this update I’m getting ~140ms
Cisco vpn anyconnect not working on work computer after updating to this version
Truthfully I am kind of afraid to update, the last update the eero pro 6e somehow corrupted & broke.
Then our isp had to give us a new one.
Also wasn’t a fun 4 days because the whole family was mad the internet wasn’t working.
So really hopping this update doesn’t corrupt & break the eero.
No issues with a Gateway PoE with Max 7’s.
Applied the update before going to sleep last night. Woke up to a working Eero 6+ system. No issues all day
Eero Pro update on model 81000113 fails every night and manual es well. Had to „turn it off and on again.
