Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for four years. Fearures are laid out poorly, interface is bad, and it just plain doesn't work sometimes. Random gremlins appear(bedtimes don't work), then go away for no apparent reason. Trying to do any custom configuration of settings and getting them to stick for longer than a week is a gamble. I wouldn't recommend the app or the routers to be honest.

The features are kind of ok, When they mention the subscription they don't mention you have to buy some of the "Protection" with other vendors, only thing you get is "antivirus" which isn't even at kernel level, so basically useless save your money not worth $150, then theirs the connection issue when you try to input a new device the app claims "long password" even if it's six letters, when you try to do it online all they have are useless links that take you no where. save your money.

Range Extenders in AP mode lose Internet connection. I can get the range extenders connected to the router, but as soon as I switch them from wireless extensions to Access Point mode everything falls apart. The range extenders lose Internet connection. I've set them up countless times, trying many different things, and it leads to the same issue over and over. For $150 - $200 a piece, this setup process is garbage. For that price, it better be flawless. About time I return to get my $600.
