Ratings and reviews

Does what it says on the tin! Now freed from the Powerline Adapters to connect TV 'box' to the router which were cutting broadband speeds by 50%! Good strong and fast broadband connection now up and running. Don't follow the written instructions! (I did and had to start again to get the app to recognise the Extender). Just use the app, watch the YouTube video and get it all set up fairly easily. 'Live Chat' helpful to undo any mistakes in setting up!

I am not sure if it's just for me, but the LED control is not working properly. When I would like to set up the time frame of nite mode, no matter which row I tap on, it only brings up the "From" option. I know it's not the most important feature of the device and/or app, but still annoying, especially if you keep it in your badroom! Otherwise it does the job!

Very elegant and useful access to most (not all) features in a simple way. Can rename the devices and change their icons. It is good to be able to check and reboot the router from afar if needed and to count connected clients. It can set up and manage the guest network too. I am pleased and impressed. P.S. However the VPN features of the router have been ignored.
