It's a $100.00 device, but it works awesome for what I needed. Normally FingBox is available on Amazon, but currently out of stock (due to the covid related global chip shortages I assume). If that were not the case, I'd be more annoyed in spending $100 on a FingBox to add a feature which really should already be in place and free to us on Eero. I already owned my FingBox for this use, way be fore I switched to Eero.

I hope Eero adds this functionality in the future. NOTE: I'm not a Fing shill and don't have anything to do with the company, I just use their device and like it
#VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK MAC ADDRESS FILTERING PRO#
I use a FingBox with my Eero Pro network to block all MAC addresses automatically until I choose to unblock them. I only saw this because I saw my son's computer with about 4 different MAC addresses showing up as separate devices on the log. New devices are not automatically added to a profile, so all you have to do is spoof your MAC and you're back in WiFi business, no time restrictions. Even a simple default schedule that applies to all connections regardless of whether they have been added to a profile would be better than the current setup. The controls on the Eero are just too weak. I really like the simplicity of the Eero products (would love to continue using it), but I will be scrapping your router today and swapping to a device with better parental controls. It would be similar in use to many 2 factor authentication systems. Ideally the app would notify you of new connection attempts and have a pop-up for ALLOW or DENY. It's not a failsafe as MAC addresses can be manipulated, but you should absolutely be able to block all new connections by default. This is a critical feature for securing a network against new connections that have not been approved.
