Ratings and reviews

Heaven help you if you forget any one of the three different passwords required to manage a TP network. There's a router, Tether, and Wi-Fi password and for the life of me can't understand why the router needs a password when using Tether. Access to the network is already provided at that point so it acts like a system filled with credential walls because they didn't know how to manage access.

The one thing I need to do on this app is to be able to turn on Wi-Fi using my remote access login. I usually leave the Wi-Fi turned off for health and security reasons, and wish to turn it on once in awhile from my phone instead of my laptop. This process worked fine until two updates ago. now you either have to use Smart connect which enables 2GM 5G which I don't need, or you can't do it at all without a laptop and an ethernet cord. There is no good reason why this should function this way.

Overall good app for kicking unwanted connections. I just wish you could add Mac address. So I wouldn't have to reset my router. When the account holder's puter ups dies. If I could have added the new puter to the allowed list from my phone it would have saved me so much time. But at least I can see the connections and block if needed be. IP tablet is a nice 2nd lock downs.
