Ratings and reviews

After the recent time change, I figured I would reboot the router. I tried multiple times logging in through the app, and despite everything working ok on the network, the app tells me the router is offline and won't log me in, just as several others have posted. If you try logging in via 192.168.1.1, it won't recognize Firefox on your phone as a supported browser unless you're in desktop mode. Bottom line, the app has been rendered completely useless. Time to install DD-WRT.

This is my last linksys item. There is no reason I should have to download an app on my phone to connect to a router on my computer. There is already an accessible interface accessible via IP and ethernet. Phone app is abysmal, crashes constantly, won't allow you to proceed with setup unless you agree to send them diagnostic info (had to restart the app no less than 10 times because the "Next" button stopped functioning if you uncheck Agree to send dianostic data.

App no longer allows you to manage external storage. Can only access it through the router. Since I'm at it.. You have no idea what devices are connecting to your network except for big name devices. At least put an incremental number so you can know what you're trying to block. It's bad, been using Linksys for probably 20 years (not exclusively). When this mesh network eventually stops working because of some update I'll be switching. It's apparent they have no desire to improve anything
