User Reviews

User reviews praise the app for basic setup and quick device visibility, but consistently criticize its limited in-app management, reliability problems, and firmware/admin issues. Privacy/upsell concerns and a slow, buggy experience are common. Most issues stem from needing the web app for full control, with stability and modern UI/UX improvements frequently requested.

Pros

Easy setup and onboarding within the app
Basic setup and monitoring capabilities (view devices and network status)
Quick visibility into which Orbi unit is active and overall network health
Basic device management and security-related controls available in the app

Cons

Limited in-app functionality; many detailed/advanced options require the web app
Reliability and connectivity instability (outages, devices showing offline, slow handoffs)
Firmware/admin issues (updates can corrupt the admin interface, login problems, some support is paid)
Privacy/upsell concerns (privacy policy issues, location data requests, frequent upgrade prompts)
Overall UX/Performance drawbacks (slow, buggy, lacks features like in-app speed/mesh tests)

I have fiber optic incoming and lose a lot of speed using wireless

by Be*****, 2026-07-20

I have tried to check for updates for over a year and it always fails and says try again later. I have no idea if my firmware is up to date or secure. I like the system but the support seems poor at best.
