User Reviews

HINT Control is praised for its well-designed interface and better functionality compared to T-Mobile's native app, offering greater control over gateways including Wi-Fi management and device information. However, multiple users report inability to disable the 5GHz Wi-Fi band due to device limitations, and some face login issues with newer gateway models. Advanced networking features like bridging and DHCP control are missing but requested by users. Overall, the app is appreciated especially by technical users despite some functional limitations imposed by gateway firmware.

Pros

Provides access to more settings and information than the native T-Mobile app.
Well designed and easy to use interface that improves on T-Mobile's original app.
Helpful for controlling Wi-Fi, such as turning Wi-Fi radios on or off, assisting with antenna placement.
Supports multiple device platforms beyond just Android.
Developer is responsive to gateway and firmware changes, maintaining app compatibility.

Cons

Cannot disable the 5GHz Wi-Fi band on some gateways due to device or firmware restrictions.
Issues logging in with certain gateway models, resulting in authorization errors or JSON errors.
Lacks advanced features like bridging mode or disabling NAT/DHCP, which some advanced users desire.
Some features do not work as intended on specific devices or firmware versions, limiting full wireless control.
