Ratings and reviews

Loved it when I got it years ago, even though there was a huge discrepancy in the app vs browser interface when it came to devices and names. The app has gotten so much worse. Every time I log in, there is an error that keeps popping up every few seconds. Reboot of the system only sometimes resolves it, and only temporarily. Devices never load. UI is very unresponsive. Simply unusable now. Time to give up on Linksys. Too much hassle.

This app is a joke. Tried using it to finish setting up my mesh. When first trying to sign in via the router it kept saying it couldn't find it. Then I created an account and when I try to add an existing mesh, it doesn't even search for one. When I click the button, it pops up instantly saying something went wrong and to call them.

Does not ever fully open and show nodes or connected devices. This app has been worthless for quite some time. I've been a linksys owner for years but am now having to shop around for a new router that has an app which actually connects to it so I can access my settings and troubleshoot when necessary.
