What features do I lose if I put my eeros in bridge mode?

By putting your eero network into bridge mode, you can continue managing your network through your existing router. While this approach is necessary for a small subset of customers with specific network configurations, we generally don’t recommend placing your eero network into bridge mode. 

Doing so will cause you to lose access to the following features:

• Profiles 
• Historical Data Usage details
• Device blocking
• Several advanced network settings through the eero App including:
  • IP reservations and port forwarding
  • Local DNS caching
  • Smart Queue Management (SQM)
  • Thread
  • Upstream IPv6
  • Custom DNS
  • UPnP
• All eero Plus features except partner services from Malwarebytes, 1Password, and Guardian VPN
• Eligibility to subscribe to eero Plus or eero Business
• Apple HomeKit Secure Router

Note: If your network configuration does require you to bridge your eeros, rest assured you'll still experience all of the speed and stability benefits of our patented TrueMesh technology.
