User Reviews
Reviews are overwhelmingly negative, with recurring login and router-detection failures, especially when Wi‑Fi names have changed or the router was configured on a computer. Crashes and other reliability problems are also frequently mentioned. A few users say the app is easy to use and works well when it connects, but those positive experiences are outweighed by access problems.
Pros
- Some users found the app easy to set up and useful for managing the router when it worked.
Cons
- Login problems are widespread: users report being sent into repeated sign-in or Wi‑Fi connection loops, even while connected to the router.
- The app often fails to detect the router when its Wi‑Fi names have been changed or no longer use the default MSI names.
- Users report crashes, freezes, and unreliable behavior, sometimes requiring cache clearing or repeated attempts.
- Several users say the app has trouble binding to routers configured through a computer and may require setup through the app or a factory reset.
- Password recovery is limited: users mention no “forgot password” option and lockouts after failed attempts.

Useless trying to get into a router that you can't get into using the main gateway address that you should be able to. App MUST have default wi-fi ssid for it to find, wont look for anything else! Also, not being able to turn off the antenna lights through the firmware stupid and crazy! We should be able to turn those stupid lights off so they stay off and that stupid button is only temporary, not permanent.
