Long-lived connections getting interrupted all at once across network After the 7.16.2 update, my network has become unstable for long-lived connections. Think of long-lived socket connections that last for minutes at a time (SSH sessions, database connections, IoT telemetry). Every 8 minutes, all persistent TCP connections across the entire network would reset simultaneously. I worked with Claude Code to write a Python diagnostic script with asynchronous TCP sockets testing connection lifetimes, latency spikes, and keep-alive probes across different subnets. The script provided concrete, timestamped, reproducible packet trace evidence proving that the router gateway was aggressively dropping idle TCP states. I submitted the test script and diagnostic logs to Eero senior engineering support. They escalated the bug, rolled back the faulty firmware update, and confirmed a fix in the subsequent patch release. Network is rock solid now!
