I highly recommend this router! And the app is insane! It shows you everything that's connected to your Wi-Fi and even lets you pause internet access and block websites you wouldn't want anyone accessing. My only complaint is sometimes it doesn't know what exactly is connected. Such as it showed my Alexa as a smart phone and other things as network devices. However you can change the names and icons to what the device actually is when this happens.

App is trash. 90% of the time I open it and it says my router is offline despite the fact that everything is still connected and online. Takes numerous times opening to connect. Nodes show offline, while actively being used. Better off just using the web interface for network management, though it's not much better. Maybe it's not the app, but just poor equipment design. Tired of this app and the router. Done. 5/6 - Yep, still trash.

Linksys has again managed to take administrative software that was half-way decent and make it 3x more combersome and unintuitive. Good luck trying to get to the password management interface! You've just lost 50 of all your network customizations too. Your best bet is to download the dd-wrt firmware and upgrade it! Linksys should stick to making hardware and borrow some ideas from the open source firmware world to make their systems more enjoyable for all!
