Ratings and reviews

Recently upgraded to the develop Wi-Fi 7 product, I find there are issues with the app. For one, on the main screen the node display when tapped does not function. To see the nodes you must go through the network administrator function of the menu. Devices list does not function properly, it does not pull proper device names, as an example I have a emporia wifi device that shows up with two Wi-Fi connections and a wired connection. Only one of the MAC addresses match the device.

This app has really gone downhill over the years. I've only bought Linksys routers over the past 15 plus years. All this app does now is try to load settings. Circle just spins and spins. It used to be such a great app. I could see every device that's currently logged in and past devices. So unfortunate. Really thinking of finding a new brand that has now reliable apps

App is trash. 90% of the time I open it and it says my router is offline despite the fact that everything is still connected and online. Takes numerous times opening to connect. Nodes show offline, while actively being used. Better off just using the web interface for network management, though it's not much better. Maybe it's not the app, but just poor equipment design. Tired of this app and the router. Done. 5/6 - Yep, still trash.
