The app is really good, its very clear and easy to understand. The only issues I have is that it doesn't stay connected it seems as when I click one it has to connect to the router and then goes to the homepage. Then I have to go to notifications anyway. The other is when selecting a device on the network it will try to go into it but then return to the list so can take a few goes to select it and then sometimes a few attempts to save the device details.

It works but why create an account for something that is just supposed to be to set up the thing? I would not have needed it if there was a PROPER manual supplied. Getting very fed up with companies making you set up accounts just so you can set THEIR equipment up. just create temp email for the setup then never use it again is best way. App itself does work and does set up but if you have to go to another r app or screen to find a password details at it needs to refresh each time,

Very simple to use and works. At first I just explored it, a few minutes later I selected the options I needed, it told me it needed a reboot, rebooted and everything worked as it should. It was much easier than using the actual router to set everything up. I haven't signed up to their security. I haven't heard good things about that and it's just another subscription on top of ever increasing, ever pricier subscriptions to various things in my home.
