It used to work but now that I actually need to login into the app to find out why my network isn't working properly I can't get into it. I've tried resetting , clearing the cache...apparently I'm not the only person with an issue. Edit: So the response gives a link to get help. It's the social media messenger chat interface, not a help link. App still sucks and apparently won't be fixed. We should have an option for negative stars. 1 star is far to good a rating.

The app is barely functional as it is, it is incredibly frustrating to get at any actual settings. Whoever decided to disable administrative functionality of the modem to force people to use this app needs to be the first one against the wall when the revolution comes. 1-star is 2 too many.

This app is ok but lacks several important features. The most important being the ability to seperate the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. We need to name them seperatly with different passwords. Or at least give us the ability to turn off wifi or enable bridge mode. Also would be nice to change the DHCP range to something other than 3 pre programmed options. Just let us be able to choose what we want it. Lastly, remove the GPS requirements for the app. You already have the service address, don't need GPS.

Hi, Tech Geoff. Thanks for the feedback! 1) If you're referring to DHCP IP reservation, here's a support article: https://support.cogeco.ca/hc/en-ca/articles/12744677457303. 2) GPS permission should not be required for setup or usage of the app. If you're unable to disable the permission, please contact: cogeco.ca/en/socialmedia. - Steven Cogeco
