Was a good app

The Linksys app was a very handy tool until iOS 27. Now the app opens and keeps on saying there’s a new network even though the network has not changed.

Too many bugs

This app frequently tells me that my router has no Internet connection when I can stream videos from the router. Clearly it has an Internet connection. Also, I have two separate networks at completely separate locations. I only want to use the app for one network. When I try to log onto that network it always sees the other one and asks me me if I want to add it. When I say no, I get a permanent blank screen. This is a major bug in the software.

App doesn’t work

It worked in the past but now states that my home network has no internet connection when I do have internet. Under troubleshooting, clicked to check internet. States it could take up to a minute, but it never finds it. Incredible that a tech company can’t develop and support a reliable and functional app.

Broken

Since IOS 27 I’m stuck in the dreaded “ Username and Password is Incorrect “ loop of death.

Hot garbage

Unsupported, unusable. I’d love to share a video of me entering a password in a web based version on my Mac (works) and then in this “app”. Which fails. Zero response from customer service. Not updated in who knows how long. Abandon-ware for sure.
