App alone makes me want to switch brands

App works about 1% of the time. I always have to check my router on a laptop because as far as I can tell the app consists of just a screen telling me I have no wifi while my phone is connected to wifi. I tried reinstalling. I have tried resetting router. I have tried making a new account. Nothing on earth makes this app work past the first time I ever used it when I first got the router. Shameful when we are supposed to trust our network security to this.

Utterly useless now

I’ve used Linksys networking products for every major generation of WiFi going back to WiFi 2. I’ve had a Velop Mesh system of theirs since 2018 or 19 when gen 6 was just starting to make it into the market, and used this app as the only interface to maintain my home network because that’s all I’m aware of that’s ever been available. It’s completely unusable now on iPhone Duo and keeps wanting me to log in even though I did a dozen times. It just wants to keep adding a new network it thinks it found even though nothing has changed with the network for at least 3 1/2 years. Now I have to find another way to access my network settings without this stupid POS app but I fear that’s probably not even possible. This app was perfectly fine for me for years and one day I go into it out of the blue only to discover it’s become complete garbage. I’m due to upgrade my home network anyway now that WiFi 7 has arrived and guess which company I will definitely NOT be going with for any of the necessary equipment. Yup you guessed it…

Most useless app in the world

Impossible to do anything

App is broken?

App appears to be broken, won’t connect to me Linksys router with the password. Appears to timeout before connecting. Was working fine in mid-September, 2026. Did iOS update break it — don’t know.

Fix the app

As of lately the app has been way too glitchy

Nearly obsolete

Even if you’re using a legacy Linksys network, you may receive a firmware update to address the recent Php issue, and if you apply it this app will no longer work.

Please fix the app

Crashes as soon as it open

Worthless

App stop working with latest IOS update. Access via MAC works but not IOS.

Poor at identifying devices

Hard to identify what devices are linked and normally crashes when trying to individually name them

Good but simple

Needs some work. Lacks of features for custom settings. Can’t select fixed channels and bandwidth. Please update the app. It has been more than two years.

Doesn’t work

Set up the account, it finds the WiFi, try to add it to the account and. Nothing.
Changed the passwords and done it again. Nothing!

Apple: Remove this app

Struggles to collect attached devices , and when to does it's incomplete. Apple should remove this App, as it's not maintained.

Does not work

I’ve had these for a couple years now, but for I’ve never been able to use all the capabilities as featured as most of the time I couldn’t access my Wi-Fi settings but now I can’t even access the Wi-Fi

Doesn’t work

You can’t login and are constantly sent back to the home page. The most useless app I’ve ever used

Utter garbage

This app was tolerable five years ago. It’s now complete garbage.
Interface keeps seizing up & causes phone to overheat. Most of the time it won’t even log in with router password; instead it just gets stuck in a loop without even showing an error message.

(although - in the latter case it’s possible that this wasn’t the app’s fault per se, but the router’s. the blame is still on linksys though)

Doesn't work

Bad and doesn't let me log in

Muy mala

Lenta, se queda trancada se sale de la aplicación. Desesperante

App isn’t working right!

I have never had a problem with my Linksys until recently. When I got on the app to change some parental controls, my app said that my router was offline but then it would pop up and say there was a new network. I tried signing in on the new network but it won’t go past the password screen. The system is still working fine, I just can’t use the app.

Extremely glitchy

Terrible app, parental controls rarely work, it’s always freezing - one time I couldn’t unpause my daughter’s internet and had to reset the entire system and two child nodes. Please improve.

Circle Jerk

Been 3 days going in circles with password changes, app claiming I’m not connected, found a new network, but it can’t find its own router. MR75WH as host for a mesh system. My internet is working. App claims it is not, and couldn’t find its butt with both hands. I’m moving to Wi-Fi 7 soon, and I’m not even considering Linksys. Whoever is raving about this app should come over. I enter the router password, press the button, and nothing happens. Wow.
