Doesn’t work with Arris Modem (model NVG468MQ)

Will not connect to my modem. Was following an Arris modem video published by Arris. It suggested using the app by this name.

Doesn't work

This app doesn't work anymore and hasnt been updated/bug fixes in over a year. Initially I cpuld log in and manage devices, parental controls, etc. All of a sudden I can't log in to see or manage devices, even after several resets of the modem/ router. This app does not work!

Doesn’t work

The app doesn’t even work. They quit updating the app as OS upgrades occurred. I have a router advertising this app, but I can’t even connect to set up parental controls…
