## What is Portal WiFi Router?

The world's best router for apartments, busy neighborhoods, and crowded areas comes with an easy app. The Portal Smart WiFi Router provides fast, reliable, congestion-free WiFi that you can control from anywhere with your smartphone.

Easy. Smart. Different. WiFi.

Congestion Slows Down Your WiFi
If you see five or more networks when connecting to your home WiFi, chances are your Internet is slower than it should be. WiFi networks compete with each other. This is called congestion, and means more buffering, interruptions, and slower speeds than you pay for. Portal solves this.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-09-20*

App won’t connect to the Portal router. I’d like to be able to enable fast lane after a recent reset, but there is no ability to do so from the web config page. 
Very lame. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Just a terrible experience

*2023-05-21*

The app is useless, the site is less helpful, the design of the devices is not bad but rather large. I should just be easy to set up and go. Nothing on worked. I have not been able to just get them to connect to anything. The web app is also… what’s the point this thing is the worst.

### 2/5 — When it works, it kinda works

*2021-11-04, version 1.0.28*

The app is okay, limited, when it works it kinda works. When it doesn’t work there is absolutely nothing you can do to adjust settings. Been needing to adjust for almost a day and the app keeps telling me the portal is offline.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2021-02-23, version 1.0.28*

Tried to pair with my existing and functional portal router. Three different phones, all up to date, failed to pair. Impossible to setup mesh network without pairing. No support available.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2021-02-15, version 1.0.28*

This app is terrible. I’m connected to the internet through Portal. But the app says “Something is wrong. Portal is offline”. I have the latest iOS installed on iPhone 12 Pro.

### 1/5 — Can’t find Portal router

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.28*

I set my phone right on top of the router trying to pair the app via Bluetooth and it STILL couldn’t find the darn router.  Giving up after many many attempts.

### 1/5 — You can’t change anything

*2020-08-07, version 1.0.28*

I like the device but the app doesn’t allow meaningful changes to WiFi.

### 3/5 — App needs more features

*2020-06-13, version 1.0.28*

Seems fine so far, I was hoping the app would have more tools.

### 1/5 — Turned into trash

*2020-04-16, version 1.0.28*

The first couple of years were awesome. This product had the best reviews so after a ton of research I opted to buy this unreasonably expensive router over others. Now, I’m stuck resetting this stupid piece of trash all the time and using the regular network in my house because it’s impossible to get it to work now a days. 

The app is even more trash than the product. It’s cute and all that this company prides itself on simplicity but when it comes to complicated issues getting the same 4 stupid steps to plug it in and download the app are a waste of my time and not helpful in the least.

This is trash.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2020-04-10, version 1.0.28*

The app can no longer find my routers, although I can use the web-based browser. I regret ever buying these portals
