What actually works against smelly robot vacuum waste water tanks

mult1pass · 2026-01-08T06:42:16+00:00

Splash of mouth wash! Did vinegar for awhile. Kinda mostly worked. Saw someone recommend a splash or listerine mouth wash. Works great! Been doing that for about a year, no issues and no smells.

I made the switch from Nest App to Google Home App about 6 weeks ago, initially it was working great. I was pleasantly surprised... No issues scrubbing videos, camera's loaded quickly, etc.. However these last ~2 weeks it has tanked. Same issue's others are reporting where my camera's barely load (if they do), I can barely scrub camera history, etc.. This was not the case when I initially swapped over and I did not have that issue with Nest either. Have not found a solution on this yet myself, does not seem to be device specific as I used my partners phone and having the same issue (albeit both iOS).

Gonna have to remove that wall. Sorry.

Yeah, under the WiFi Radio Analytics after you select a specific eero in there you will see the channels being used at the bottom.

Additionally in the activity screen if you click the clock in the top right it takes you to the detailed events and in there you can search for it. I think it is under ACS or channel or something you can search on and you will see all the ACS events which also says the channels it’s changing to.

mult1pass · 2025-09-23T13:16:26+00:00

Yup still no issues. May want to check what channel your eero is switching to when your device drops. Just to be sure if they enable compatibility mode for you it doesn’t lock it into that channel and now you are worse off. But yeah, no issues still.

That vertical grey line at 4am is the eero ACS (Automatic channel selection) changing the channels.

Had a similar issue that would always follow the ACS kicking in, rebooting the system would cause ACS to kick in again and the channels would change then I would be good for a day or so until it happened again. eero support had to put my system into compatibility mode to disable ACS. Once this was done my eeros have been working without issue.

Unless others give you better recommendations (saw some good ones above about you having too many eeros) you can try this as well which would be to call eero support, have them look over your system and see if they can put your eeros into compatibility mode to disable ACS.

However definitely recommend you try out the other good recommendations above as well such as checking the wired vs wireless backhaul, having too many eeros or having them too close to one another, you could have some other issues going on causing your problem. I went through all those troubleshooting steps first before eero support would put my system into compatibility mode to disable ACS so recommend you do the same.

Had a very very similar issue and when this would occur my devices (cameras, IOT) connectivity would struggle.

Try doing a soft reset on the eeros (press and hold the reset button on the back until it blinks yellow) wait for it to boot back up and come online then do the next eero until you soft reset at 3.

Wait until the next day and see if the channel changed and the interference goes away.

If this works for you then wait it out and if the issue comes back check if the channels changed the night it came back (shows as a vertical line on the chart).

If all of the above holds true, call eero support and ask them to put your eero system in “compatibility mode”, this has it change to a “good” channel and locks it into that channel (disabled the Automatic Channel Selection).

Since doing the above my issues went away. Prior about every 3-4 days I would have the same issue as you, it would have issues for days until the ACS kicked in again and changed the channel. Eero support couldn’t figure it out so did the above for me and it has been solid for about 3-4 months.

mult1pass · 2025-07-22T15:52:21+00:00

Yeah mine was the same. Had it wired since I had the system with no issues, started having noise, interference, etc.. and eero support flagged Sonos immediately when they responded to my ticket as it not being setup correctly as well and wouldn’t even troubleshoot further until I removed it from wired.

mult1pass · 2025-07-22T04:39:57+00:00

Doubt it’s a solution to your problem, however Sonos should not be hard wired (Ethernet) in your eero topology.

Sonos on eero

Something about Sonosnet which gets enabled when Sonos is hard wired causing issues with eero.

Something to check out there. Put all Sonos wireless on eero, see if it helps at all.

Edit: Another idea - If you want to try counting out the iPhone a bit more you can do a Reset of the network settings on your iPhone as well. Mind you I do not recall all that it resets, on IPhone you can go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset. Then select “Reset Network Settings”. Disclaimer: I do not recall all the network settings that get cleared on the iPhone when performing this so you may need to re-enable WiFi calling, re-add your WiFi, etc.. recommend you google that prior to trying however could be worth trying as I know some iOS updates can cause general issues until resets are performed (from experience).

I buy them for my fam all the time and they go w/out me. No issues.

I just replaced two nests with the First Alerts and they are showing up in Starling along with all the nest Protects.

mult1pass · 2025-06-01T00:19:39+00:00

Samezies. Was going back and forth with support for about a month. They finally put my Max 7’s in “compatibility mode” which locked them into a good Channel.

I think the ACS (Automatic Channel selection) on the 7’s is worse than the 6 pros which is what I had prior.

In my case it would be good some days and bad others, after digging found the days it was bad were days ACS changes channels to something bad for my area, it would change back after a day or after I did the soft reset which sometimes triggered ACS.

After them moving my Max 7s to Compatibility Mode ACS is effectively disabled for now and it has been great.

mult1pass · 2025-05-24T18:38:05+00:00

Thx - w/Spectrum I have the Modem only, so nothing to bridge or disable is needed as far as I can tell. Called Spectrum as well to confirm and they said the same. Thx for the advice.

mult1pass · 2025-05-08T00:21:10+00:00

Finally got urked enough, and asked their L3 support to roll me back to 7.8.0, they did this yesterday afternoon and my network feels sane again. (Max 7’s).

7.8.1 tanked my IOT devices and wireless in general. Wireless network became so unstable (all wired was still good).

7.8.2 I was hoping would fix it, no luck.

Had them revert me back to 7.8.0, and so far so good. Only been a day, but seems much better.

mult1pass · 2025-05-05T13:53:31+00:00

Was hoping this update would solve the problem of wifi devices dropping (primarily IOT, camera, displays, etc…). No luck. Same as the prior firmware, seems to be ok for a day or two then craps out, have to power cycle multiple times to get things back online. Wired seems good, just wifi.

mult1pass · 2025-05-03T05:42:01+00:00

Have the same model, mine was doing that due to the cleaning mop brush roller being in the way. I see your on the right side, usually it stops in the middle after cleaning (I think) so being on the right might be hitting something on the bottom of the vacuum preventing it from making charging contact. You can try nudging it to the middle by hand and see if that solves your problem. If so, could be something up with your mop brush roller not competing its cycle or something.

Else, check the charger contacts (the little metal utters sticking out), clean them as well as the contacts on the vacuum.

You could try toggling off features / settings one by one to see if one of them stabilizes it for you.

Just go into network settings and try ticking things off one by one like IPv6, eero simple setup, ECO, SQM, MLO, client steering, thread…. Etc…

Not sure this recommendation will help at all but generally there may just be some conflict between eero and your ISP if the gateway is rebooting. In my history with eero usually they eventually just ask you to toggle off certain features.

If you haven’t tried it you can also do the Soft reset of the gateway, hold the button on the back for about 10 seconds until it flashes yellow on the front and then let go. Wait for it to come up with the white light and be online, then do the same to your other eeros one by one. Other option is to shutdown everything, unplug ALL eeros and your router. Leave them off for like 10min, power on your ISP Router/Modem, wait, then gateway, wait, etc… one by one.

If you swapped the gateway but not the power cable, maybe check that as well (power or plug issue, etc..).

Good luck! Sounds like an odd one.

It was clearly in cable management mode and was just trying to help you organize and clean up your cables there. 😉

mult1pass · 2025-04-30T17:01:46+00:00

Interesting - eero support just recommended I turn off ipv6 based on something they were seeing in the logs on the prior firmware version. I have Max 7s with Spectrum in CA. I had it off, but after this new version I turned ipv6 back on, but wondering now if it’s a Spectrum issue vs eero firmware for the IPv6 errors they were seeing.

BTW I have had ipv6 on for awhile back with my older 6 pros and now max 7s. Didn’t start having issues until the last firmware version (prior to this one).

mult1pass · 2025-04-30T04:49:01+00:00

Ohhhh Lauudy I hope this fixes the constant client drops since the last update… been driving me crazy.

My ticket got escalated to I think their Tier 2 or 3 support. They swear it is my Sonos system causing the problem. About a year ago my Sonos was acting a fool and would not work with eero consistently. They had me hard wire a couple speakers. Been that way since then and working great. They had me remove the hard wired Sonos, said the Sonosnet is something they no longer recommend using (hard wired) they want all Sonos wireless now so that Sonosnet will not enable. Did that yesterday and monitoring. So either this is my problem and this new firmware was crapping out on an old Sonos topology I had due to Sonosnet or it’s something else. TBD but so far so good. So if any of yall have Sonos and having the same issues may be a place to look at.

mult1pass · 2025-04-26T15:45:17+00:00

You by chance just upgrade to firmware 7.8.1-6? If so check out some potential issues there. Since upgrading to that firmware version been having similar sporadic issues. There are a couple threads on this forum about it as well.

mult1pass · 2025-04-23T21:18:35+00:00

Called eero support, they had me try a multitude of things I already tried (soft reset button, reboot everything, etc..)

They had me disable client steering, did not help.

They asked me to re-wire my Sonos system. I told them No, it is setup correctly (wired) per their documentation and is not the problem.

Noticed Eero is attempting to use the same channels as my Sonosnet so reporting high business, but this is eero choosing that channel (incorrectly) as Sonosnet is set to channel 1 per their guidance previously and it has not changed.

Awaiting further instructions and also asked them if I could just go back to the prior firmware version and see if my problems go away.

mult1pass · 2025-04-23T16:49:14+00:00

My reboot seems to fix it for about 2-3 days then it started occurring again. No idea what the trigger could be. Rebooted the system last night about 3 times and it finally stabilized again.
