Worst app I have ever used

Literally can’t do anything on it, can’t even login. How did this get released in this state. Shocking

Used to work, now it’s completely useless

When I first joined community fibre 3 years ago, I was directed to the app by the installation engineers. Worked a treat absolutely flawlessly. I have a hub with 4 additional boosters scattered across my property and never had an issue.

Recently upgraded my plan to 10GB fibre. Community fibre sent me our new nodes, this app is now completely useless, does not connect to the nodes and won’t register a single one so I’m basically having to start from scratch connecting every single one of my devices to the new system. Also none of the new nodes pair to each other 🤷

Buggy and over simplified

Silently fails to update admin password. Make sure you note the old one when changing!

No options to disconnect from the cloud and only have local admin.

Not working

I logged in to the app and added my network but when i came back to it it kept on telling me to add a network when i didnt want to and there was no exit button

Good but simple

Needs some work. Not many features for custom settings. Can’t select fixed channels and bandwidth.
