Version 4.12.28
performance_and_bugsupdates_and_maintenancemonetizationcustomer_supportUpdate. The app is mostly unresponsive. When it does "work", I have to perform each action at least twice Update. Every time that I want to view the router, I click on it and then it says I'm not connected to the network. Update. Still not fixed. Why do they want you to pay a subscription when the features never work. Most features don't work all of the time. It's very hit or miss for the controls. Worked marginally OK before, now it's worse. It's very slow to start and sync to wifi.

cross_platform_consistencyfeature_requestsperformance_and_bugsSo far, so good. I wish it was as functional as the web GUI so I wouldn't have to use both! There is at least one inconsistency between them, though, which I consider to be a bug in the GUI: Tether allows pretty much any type of character when naming a device, including spaces (as it should) but the GUI limits characters to "A-Z", "a-z", "0-9", "-", or "_". Obviously the router itself can handle the extra characters, so the GUI needs to be fixed.

securityfeature_requestsserviceI agree with Withkeys Quilkert. "It does what it does best. Access to the router configuration through the cloud as well as locally on network in an easy GUI. However, more needs to be done to secure access to it besides just a password for cloud account. They need to allow multi-factor authentication and track logins to the cloud account. Until they address that, I do not recommend allowing the wifi router access over the cloud. Once password is compromised, it gives unauthorized users access.
