Pros and cons of Linksys app for iPhone and iPad
Linksys app good for
I love this app. It is so convenient to manage my router and network with this.
Havent had this app for long but I went through all the features. I made some minor adjustments to the network settings etc, and I must say it was very easy to do with this app. Much easier than logging in through the routers IP or using a disc. So far so good and cant think of a single hiccup in the app. Great UI too, its very easy to navigate and use. Anyone with a compatible Linksys router would benefit from having this app even if you dont plan on making many changes to your network. Its useful to see which devices are connected and the bandwidth prioritization feature is absolutely amazing and VERY easy to operate. Its easily my favourite feature of the app so far. All in all I recommend it for Linksys owners. It can be useful when needed, even if that is very seldom.
Easy to use and to setup! But it doesnt work anymore on the new iOS9 ...
Works a lot better now since the new update and no more errors when I log in!!
Kinda lackluster on features compared to the web gui but works ok.
Some bad moments
Missing desktop features like setting parental control access times.
Using ipod or iphone apps i couldnt set up specific time in parental control. Only always or never can be picked. Once i set this through browser then i could see the specific time.
Also missing some devices sometimes!
Useless app that cant even recognize that I am using their smart wifi enabled router (firmware up to date, connected by cable to mac)
After much research I choose the Linksys EA6900 for what I believe is the best in class solution for parental controls. Knowing this unit and its "smart wi-fi" would give me the ability to remotely control my childrens access to the internet through my iphone was a great advantage. However I was dismayed that when using the app you do not have the same functionality as you would as if you were to sign in to the website via the browser. The main feature that is missing from this app is the ability to change the specific times that Internet access is blocked to individual devices. My only option currently is to always allow the device or never allow the device. Once I choose one of these options I lose all of the other scheduling rules that I have previously set-up. For example I get a call from my wife that my teenager is acting up or not doing his homework.I should be able to go in and instead of Internet shutting down at 10 for him I change it to block out the internet at the current time. Then I get a call that he is finished homework and then I restore his connection. The silly thing is all of these functions work via the website but if you try to access the website with your Iphone it says browser not supported, download app. And whats even stranger is I can access the website with my Ipad and I have full functionality. The number one reason I would think to even use this app would be to remotely control devices to the internet from outside your home and you just cant do that properly with this app.
Router is useless and constantly needs to be rebooted (about once a week). Then works fine for a while, app is crap and will not connect to the router most of the time ( says router is offline even though you are connecting through it to the internet! App features are poor at best. What a let down, just switched back to my old router after trying this for three weeks, what a let down for a expensive router.
As others note, this app is buggy and has limited functionality. Parental controls are particularly disappointing. It is reasonable to expect more than what this app delivers.
Usually Linksys iOS app used & searched for
lynksys,
linksys smart wi-fi,
and other. So, download free Linksys .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
