Ratings and reviews

Don't pay extra for Homeshield to access advanced parental controls. They very plainly do not work. Not even basic bedtime restrictions work. I've used this app for four years, and while appearing well-polished, it is very buggy. 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.

Really helpful to customize my extender for best performance! Absolutely beats the web version. One problem though is that since for some reason the web version does not work I'm forced to use the app, which I don't mind, but I can't disable both extended networks in the app. It tells me to use the web version, which doesn't work for me. I use Ethernet from my extender to my laptop and disabling the extended networks would improve performance, so I hope tplink can add that in the app. 😁

easy to use and feature filled app that allows controlling my TPLink network and even adding adding new devices to automatically create a MESH network. it's very cool. much better app than the one from Netgear, Orbi. and yes I have both . also, there's no ADS. the closest things are merely recommendations of other TPLink devices for network or smart home. It sometimes even offers special discounts.
