Barely loads

The app barely ever loads. It spins and spins and spins. When it finally does load it rarely ever applies the settings. I’m trying to use parental controls and it will take about 20 minutes of trying just to get the app to load, and then for the settings to finally work.

Utter junk

It’s hard to believe that a company as big as Linksys (aka Belkin) who are still operating and still selling routers could possibly make an app as bad as this. It is utterly useless and completely broken. It hasn’t been updated for years and it still remains the only way to control the devices they are STILL SELLING. If you haven’t already invested in Linksys routers, DON’T! If you have, you have my sympathies. If you work for Linksys and you’re reading this, FOR GODS SAKE SORT OUT YOUR APP, it’s embarrassing!

Linksys App

This app constantly freezes and is not fit for purpose. Could seriously do with an update. Would have expected better from Linksys

App

Doesnt even let me log in. Worst app

Terrible app

Terrible user interface, full of bugs and super slow.
Every time I open this app it wants to restart my modem because “something’s gone wrong”

Impossible to use

Login stuck multiple times. Can’t get in typing exact router password. Screen just resets.

Sad decline

Was great once upon a time. I rely on this app to monitor networks at 4 locations and have 15 nodes in total. Now dog slow, can’t get to some networks randomly, or just locks up.

it doesn’t update the actual stats

one of the nodes keeps getting disconnected.unplugged the power and the app still says connected.app doesn’t show the actual status of the device.

Awful

Awful app, does not work, try to login and enter router password, just redirects me to homepage

Integration Is Very difficult

Stupid, can’t setup bridge easily. TP link much better.

Won’t login

Trying to login and after putting password in, just loops back round to the login page.

Slowest app of all time

Slowest app of all time if your WiFi provider forces you to use this stuff just switch broadbands.

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.
