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
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
What is Multi-Link Operation (MLO)?
Worth comparing29 of 79 listed here
A Wi-Fi 7 device uses two bands at the same time over one connection, instead of picking one and living with it.
Look at instead: whether your phone and laptop are Wi-Fi 7 — nothing older can use this
Full entry → - 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
Full entry → - Band steering
What is Band steering?
Depends on your setup16 of 79 listed here
Nudges a device onto the faster band when it would otherwise settle on the slow one and stay there.
Look at instead: whether the router lets you split the bands into separate networks — some devices need that
Full entry → - 160 MHz channels
What is 160 MHz channels?
Table stakes47 of 79 listed here
A double-width channel that roughly doubles throughput when the airwaves are clear enough to sustain it.
Look at instead: whether the band has room for it — on 5 GHz that almost always means DFS
Full entry → - 320 MHz channels
What is 320 MHz channels?
Worth comparing23 of 79 listed here
Wi-Fi 7's double-again channel width, available only on 6 GHz, where there is finally enough spectrum to fit it.
Look at instead: whether you own 6 GHz devices, and whether they will be in the same room as the router
