Does not work on Wifi7 routers

Lagging behind needs updating for the newest routers. Should not have to use web interface which most browsers don’t like citing unsecured

NOT AT ALL SMART

Who developed this app and why are they special needs? Software doesn’t recognize hardware, hardware won’t communicate properly, glitches and bugs everywhere. Do better!

Unstable rubbish

This app hasn’t been updated for some time, frustrating, unstable and buggy. Constantly telling me I am not connected to the wireless when I am, log in immediately kicked out and have to log in again . have to keep forcing stop to continue. Can’t manage SSID names from the app.

Slow

This app constantly freezes and shows no progress/loading when selecting various features. Otherwise it works

Downhill

I’m not sure what has gone on but the app has become increasingly unreliable over the past year or so. It often fails to load, reports an error that doesn’t exists and the mesh network is doing a horrible job handing off devices.

Great app

Easy to set up, reliable and fast.

Trash

This app literally does nothing. Can’t login because it gets stuck in a refresh loop. Coded by children.

Frustrated

Always crashes, auth never works so you can never log in and forced to set insecure passwords for the route with restrictions like no repeats characters that is against all best practices.

bottled 5 stars

app is horrible delayed and just doesn’t work well at all

Update needed

Please incorporate a way to change which node a device is connected to. Sometimes the choice of which node is connected appears inferior, and at least a trial of a switch would be useful.

Abysmal

App crashes in a different way depending on its mood. Either blanks out at a white screen, does pick up network or stays on the password page despite entering the correct code. Tried at different times, devices and deleted/reinstalled. Would be fine if the app wasn’t the only way to connect the additional node we need (costing additional £5/month) to our network and use the WiFi upstairs

Fed up

Awful software, literally the worst I’ve ever used steer well clear it never ever works you will have zero control over your network, parental controls don’t exist it is literally the worst I’ve ever used and the hardware is as bad as the software steer clear please stay away you’ll regret it even if these are given to you by your internet provider ditch them do not use buy something else anything will do but this rubbish

A real weak link in the experience

Does not work with password tool. Not designed with users. Constantly freezing.

Reliability

Works most times, but when it doesn’t it’s a pain to get back up and running

Rubbish

The app will not open on my iPhone 13 yet it works well on my MacBook .
For a phone it’s rubbish

Flaky

One day, the app works like intended and the following day it won’t tell me which node my devices are connected to.

Constant “Offline Node” Errors with No Details

Why is it taking slow now, when I'm trying to scan for channels.

I have a 3 Gig internet, but node mesh output only 60 Mbps speed

Stupid app, my cousin visited last Christmas 2025. So how does the app still shows that she is online on the app, even though she doesn't live here. Wouldn't it say offline on the device list on it.

It’s frustrating that the app keeps reporting a node as offline, even though all of them show normal status and no red lights. It would really help if Linksys could indicate which node is actually affected instead of forcing users to manually check each one.

Just doesn’t work

Downloaded this after issues with my WiFi as it wasn’t properly setup by the provider. When installs it simply says found network with no name given and that’s it, absolutely useless.

Unusable

I go into the app and it loads for ages then once it finally loads it says my wifi box has no internet connection while giving completely fast internet to over 10 of my devices so this app is just completely lying to me and it won’t let me get past this message

Junk App

Get the hammer out. Time to play Golf with the mesh network .
Give it some flight lessons.
