Ratings and reviews

Frustrating- Even though the modem had internet, the router would not connect to it. Several days later I was finally able to get to the internet via the mesh router (MR70). Then the devices that now had access, stopped having access. I had to use a browser to get to the Security Access Control to turn it off. Everytime I tried to unblock devices, it would not save using the Apply button at the bottom of the page. In the App, there was no toggle buttons to control access as in the screenshot.

Not that good honestly. Why are half the devices just named "unknown" with no way to change it? I even updated it in the Access Control settings on the actual webpage but it didn't update on the app. And the app doesn't have nearly the same number of settings available. Other than that, no complaints. It works well, no crashes, no errors, good UI, quick and responsive

It makes setting up the Mesh system simple. If that's what you're doing, you won't regret downloading it (and setting up a Netgear account). You're forced to set up a Netgear account. If you want to fine time your local network, such as even simple "advanced" settings, like allocating fixed IP addresses, this app doesn't help. Direct HTTP access to the router is *slightly* better. Also, if you want to be reminded of other Netgear services you could buy, this is the app for you.
