Scott,
Can you give me a little direction for setting up a network drive.
We have the main Eero device with one ethernet port. We also have four
beacons that do not have any ports. We have one not very accessible Acu Rite
weather station plugged into the one ethernet port on the router.
You could jump through some hoops and share a thumb drive or some routers
Can this drive be a USB device like a thumb drive?
Do we need a device that can power itself?
Do we need to have an always on computer managing the network drive?Depends again on what path you choose. If you buy a small dedicated network

I appreciate any help you can offer.

That is completely untrue, there should be no issues using network drives
with Eero. I use a Seagate cheap network attached drive system along with a
Network Appliance Filer which is a drive system worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars new and both work flawlessly. You can attach via a wired port
with out issue and there’s no whacky configurations needed. If you have a
system that requires port forwarding / opening of ports then that’s no
problem and PnP is also supported.
Go for the network drive.

A year ago I bought a house next to my partner's house. The main unit is in
Dawn's house, and about 30 feet away in my garage window is a beacon which
gives me internet access in my house. I have another one at the other end
of the house in the living room. It is working very well. We have over 20
devices connected. We have another beacon in her garage which gives us good
connectivity in her backyard.
We recently discussed the possibility of having a network drive, but given
what I read, this is not easy to do with our Eero network.

Eero is completely accessible under both Android and IOS.
This is the system I use and I’m very very happy with it. Do go with the
pro models if you go for it and the latest generation. Extremely fast
performance, very easy to set up and configure using the IOS or Android app,
good security features available by subscription if you want (not required),
and if you go with the pro version you get Tri Band radios that also support
WPA3.
Do note you’ll probably want to replace your provider router or what
ever router you use now with Eero to get the most functionality. You can use
them as access points only and attach to an existing router but then you
don’t get all the groovyQOS and other features. Also integrates well with
Alexa for voice operation of the network. Hope that helps, if it were me
I’d run and not walk and go buy an Eero system.:)
Thanks

Is this system accessible with voiceover? I have used the google wifi
system for the last 2 years, and it seems to be unstable. And Eero seems
to get the best reviews, plus they have renewed there product last
September. So can anyone verify if this is accessible? Thanks.
