eero Beacon port forwarding is not working

The checks in more detail

Without a reservation, a forward breaks when the device gets a new address. Services that need forwards, such as game servers, cameras and remote desktops, fail if the network is in double NAT, if the provider uses carrier-grade NAT with no public address, or if the device's own firewall blocks the port. Check the device is on the eero network, not a guest network. After saving, test from outside your network with an online port checker.

Remember that in bridge mode the forwarding must be made on the other router. For safer access, prefer a VPN or a vendor cloud service over opening ports to the internet. eero Plus subscribers also see a security dashboard, but the port forward rules stay on the gateway and appear in the Reservations and port forwarding list, where you can edit or delete them.

Keep a note of the ports you open and remove rules you no longer use, since open ports are a security risk. If you use a game console with an eero, reserve its address and set up the ports the game lists, but also try enabling UPnP in the app, which opens ports automatically when the game asks, and is often enough for consoles without manual rules. UPnP is convenient but opens ports without review, so weigh it against safety.
