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.

Works Great! Ez Setup! I already set up the router via PC before using the app. The connection process was still super quick and ez, just make sure you know your administrator password for your router before your start the setup process. I would imagine setting up the router via the app is also quick & ez. The app user interface is very mobile device friendly. My only ( Mehhh... ) would be that you are forced into a free 30 day trial of Netgear Armor. Nothing is required so it's Mehhh.

Really hate being forced to create an account and use this trash app just to setup a router. the webUI on computer is already pretty limited, this app is basically worthless after (unnecessarily required during) initial setup except to maybe reboot the router. that only works half the time too. Netgear, do better. Or don't idc i wont be buying your products anymore
