I have been using this app for a long time now and it's always been great... Until the most recent update. Now after I log in to a router (AX50, for example) I no longer have the option to see what the 2.4GHz & 5GHz SSIDs are or to check if smart connect is enabled or not. I don't mind simplistic but this is ridiculous as a lot of the options just aren't there anymore compared to previous app builds. And yes I updated the router firmware. Please look into this.

If you're looking for a router/app that will allow you manage online activity for your family, look elsewhere. This one doesn't work. Scheduling and block/allow lists are inconsistent and unreliable. I frequently just have to turn off monitoring during allowed time and then turn it back on, which is a hassle and doesn't provide content filtering. Definitely don't buy TP-Link or Tether.

The extender really sucks for a $100 device. Like many owners have said, the extender sometimes connects sometimes doesn't, even though the app shows that it is clearly connected. Also, takes many tries to connect a device to the extender because it doesn't recognize the device or, in my opinion, something is wrong with the extender. The location it is plugged in is excellent as the signal has the full 5 bars. This is very frustrating.

The Tether app gives a lot of flexibility for controlling your router that you don't always get from other routers' apps. You still have to connect to your router via web browser, or direct through a cable connected to your computer, for more advanced options. That said, this app gives a lot of control right from your phone.

The primary reason I used this app was because it showed IP addresses in the client list. I have many smart home devices and that info is needed for onboarding. IPs have been removed from the client list in this last update so the app is now useless for me. Clicking on individual items shows it, but I have 80+ devices so that's extremely inconvenient. Time to find a decent network scanner app. If stuff works well, please leave it alone.

I'm using this app to manage the AP portion of a trio of BE9300's and what a mess. The mesh doesn't work whatsoever as randomly one of the two other routers would elect itself as the primary. So that's doa, let's see now back to strict APs using pfsense, no mesh support whatsoever in this config. You'll also get bare minimum device config in this arrangement. also if you're thinking about using the web- don't it's one of those redirect apps that aren't made for a multi device environment (oddly)
