SCAM

This is the worst router I’ve ever used app never works and its always a problem.The company definitely ran with our money and never looked back.

Response from developer

We're so sorry. This isn't the experience you paid for, and it isn't a scam. Some Rios on older router software can't connect to the app, and we want to make it right. Please email support@riorouter.com with your order email, and a real person will help you get it working. Alex, Rio Router

Router needed a firmware update

This app used to work fine but now every time I try to login I get a null error. Contacted support and they walked me through the firmware update on the router. Great customer service.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad support got you back up and running. If you ever need a hand again, email support@riorouter.com. Alex, Rio Router

Great app but don’t use lockdown mode

The app works great! If your phone is in lockdown mode however it will not connect to the router which is why I suspect some network engineers are struggling to connect to the router. I fortunately have 2 phones and while one phone gave me issues my second phone connected with no problems.

Response from developer

Thank you, and thanks for the great tip about Lockdown Mode. It will help other owners too. If you ever need a hand, email support@riorouter.com. Alex, Rio Router

Worst Router software

After hours of finally trying to connect one router to another as is advertised to work the second router refuses to login. I am a communications equipment engineer, and I can’t get this working. This app is extremely slow and clunky, and it doesn’t even update the status automatically. You have to keep refreshing to see if new devices were connected. Extremely frustrating.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback, and sorry for the frustration. We've rebuilt the app since then, and it now refreshes your devices on its own. Adding a second Rio takes a couple of extra steps. Email support@riorouter.com and a real person will walk you through them. Alex, Rio Router
