means the manufacturer doesn't list it, which isn't the same as the product lacking it.
OpenWrt
No support found. Checked against OpenWrt's own Table of Hardware, which carries no qualifying row for this model. That is a weaker statement than "this router cannot run OpenWrt" and a much stronger one than silence.
Zero ToH rows for the eero brand at any model, ever. This is a brand-level absence rather than a gap on one product.

Wi-Fi features
- OFDMA
What is OFDMA?
Table stakes50 of 79 listed here
Splits a channel into smaller slices so several devices are served in the same instant instead of taking turns.
Look at instead: streams per radio and channel width — those set the ceiling OFDMA divides up
Full entry → - MU-MIMO
What is MU-MIMO?
Table stakes46 of 79 listed here
Lets the router hold separate conversations with several devices at once using different antenna streams.
Look at instead: the stream count on each radio — a 4×4 radio has twice the streams of a 2×2 to hand out
Full entry → - Beamforming
What is Beamforming?
Table stakes37 of 79 listed here
Shapes the signal toward where a device actually is, rather than radiating evenly in every direction like a bare bulb.
Look at instead: where you physically put the router — placement beats every antenna trick on this list
