It does what it does best. Access to the router configuration through the cloud as well as locally on network in an easy GUI. However, more needs to be done to secure access to it besides just a password for cloud account. They need to allow multi-factor authentication and track logins to the cloud account. Until they address that, I do not recommend allowing the wifi router access over the cloud. Once password is compromised, it gives unauthorized users access. Not secure in my opinion.

Half the time when I try to log into my router, it tells me "Login failed. You may be connected to a guest network (I'm not), limited by Parental Controls (I'm the parent), or your network may be unstable (I have fiber)." So it is pretty useless most of the time. When it does work, it's great and the parental controls are a really nice feature. It's just not being able to access and use those features more than half the time (and times when I really want to use them) that is super annoying.

Mostly great. There's a bug with setting devices as High Priority, though. It prompts you to set QoS first, which I've done several times, but still no luck. You also need to set total bandwidth apparently, which isn't obvious until you click Edit. But even after doing both of those things, still no dice on setting a device as High Priority.
