What happened? Upgraded to a RAX43 from a 7800 that worked flawlessly for many years. After over a year, the RAX43 forgets it has a 5G band, which takes several restarts to get it to remember it has a 5G band. The app is the slowest I've even seen. When controlling devices, the app will lock up and fail to do what it was supposed to do. No updates are available, and it seems to be getting worse. Disappointed with network.

Maybe it's just my experience, and comparison to a different brand router that I've used for years and will likely return to, but I don't really see the point of this app beyond rebooting and adjusting WiFi settings. Network scan shows devices and their MACs, but no IPs? No real-time monitoring data? Virtually no settings can be adjusted. And the security scan showed 2 devices with vulnerabilities but doesn't provide any details. Maybe I'm just spoiled, or maybe mine's just not working right.

Terrible application. It often doesn't show connected devices, and will show hardware as on when it's not (which is often as the nighthawk mesh system is awful). The app is realistically useless as the only info it shows is usually incorrect. It doesn't let you edit most settings. The most you can do is test the speed, which again doesn't help when it's usually disconnected anyway.
