Ratings and reviews

A horrendous app. Trying to set up a new Blast router, and it just won't connect. The QR code scanner picks up the device with the correct MAC address and serial number. Then I get, "We are unable to connect at this time. Please try again later." The embedded web interface EWI isn't any good either. The features are very limited as compared to other modern routers. The login page at default 192.168.1.1 gives me an authentication error. Although, I know that I am entering the correct password. It works after several tries. Most of the time, the pages are blank and don't show any configuration info, like connected devices and Wifi SSID, etc.

Same issue others are having. The app allows you to pause internet connectivity for specific devices that the app shows as connected to your network. The app then drops the device from the list. Once the device is dropped from the list it cannot be reconnected to your router, it is permanently blocked. Go to the router itself it will show the device but won't allow you to change anything. The router pops up a window stating that parental controls can only be changed in the app.

What a disappointment. Nice UI but poorly executed. Often misidentifies a devices connection as LAN when in fact its wifi. Sometimes turning off a devices internet access doesn't work. Does not allow any detailed control of the router. Usage calculations look bogus. Sometimes doesn't find all the devices on my network. So much more that it doesn't do or that doesn't work. And where are the bandwidth tests????
