Wi-Fi & connectivity

[stevewi]

I have a Roku Ultra that I bought in 2018.  I also have an Eero router with a subscription to Eero Secure.  The Roku is hardwired to the network...no wi-fi.

Lately, my Eero has been blocking phishing/deception threats to my Roku Ultra.  Attached are the threat blocks graphs my router gives me for the last two weeks and for this week (so far).  I've never seen this before.

Are other people seeing this?  Is this something Roku knows about?  If not, how can I report it?  This doesn't affect my wi-fi connected Roku streaming stick.

Thanks in advance...

Not that much can be known from your pics (first pic mentions a Windows laptop, not a Roku) , but this is most likely false positives/over aggressive reporting based on normal HTTP/SSDP/SOAP/etc traffic for the Roku (checking for firmware/app updates, announcing itself to other devices on the LAN, etc).

Such services are notorious for being "too sensitive" by default and flagging anything and everything in terms of packet/connection traffic.

If you can't reduce the triggering/reporting level (and get detailed information about each and every supposed "phishing attempt" or "threat blocked"), id either ignore it, or unsubscribe.

That was the week I wasn't seeing the activity...the week before it started..posted for comparison.

I agree...I'll inquire of Eero and see if I can get more specific information.  It could be that Eero introduced some new AI thingie during the week of 5/18-15/2021 and it was learning.  The ongoing report for this week shows much less suspect activity.
