App is crazy laggy, doesn't open up at times. Need parental controls., would make app more effective, was hoping to not have to always get out my laptop for parental controls.....

Just wanted what it says it will do but it doesn't even run. Refuse to download the info grabbing, invasive, app it wants to force me to use. Complete waste of bits to download it. You owe me Linksys! Stuff like this is starting to make me regret buying your router!! Strike One! Since I only installed it yesterday... the return just might happen. Thought your company was digging its way back from the dark days under Cisco?

The app was working great on my S5, but for some reason I have lost connectivity in the last couple of days. Can't get the app to connect. Uninstalled, reloaded, restarted router, etc. No effect.

Does nothing but direct you to a needlessly complex, invasive app (when no app should be required in the first place; the router has an admin interface, but it's also been nerfed).

I guess the EA6400 isn't a supported router. Even the link to the list of supported routers doesn't work.

As others have mentioned, this app now forces you to download the other app, which requires the release of too much personal information. Why would I even open my home network to the Internet just to manage my a WAP? Lame.

Love being able to manage my router just using my phone. Sure the Web interface helps, but I don't have to enable .js for this to work. My unit locks up every 10 mins now. No clue! RoadRunner assumes it's me.

Forces to update to the new stupid app that requires online registration to manage the router. This is insecure, and requires providing entirely unnecessary information to Linksys. Selecting the Later button still takes you to the app store to download the new app with decreased capability. Upgrades that remove features are not upgrades.

My router recently reset and erased all configuration settings. Linksys prompted me to install via CD, which I no longer had. This did the trick for me. REMEMBER: default password is admin

I have the e4200 router, re1000 range expander and.the.media bridge in a fairly good.size home 3000sf. Most recently the range expander provide very weak signals on the side of the home.opposite from the router. Within the last seveal days I am not able.to access the wi fi network on my devices unless I am within a few feet of the range expander. I have even reset and rebooted all devices - modem, rputer, range expander. Looking for new equipment at this point. Still like Linksys Cisco products

I left off a star because I haven't yet figured out how to change the guest network password. I'll update if I can figure it out.

Great idea but lacking in features i.e. parental controls, QoS, Mac Cloning, etc. No landscape mode is a MUST or tablets! Get it right...

This app is good which makes u to have a control on the router settings but i suggest that it should also have a feature which tells about the amount of data used by a single connected device and also make restricted amount of data usage of a particular device

Wps push button, guest access, and rebooting are really the only features. It's ok at best.

Doesn't have all the settings that the web interface does but this app does exactly what I needed. Refresh IP, view connected devices, reboot, view connection stats. Works great with my older e1000. Props and thanks to linksys!

The app can only control very limited number of basic features. Only want you see on the screenshots. I'm giving one extra star to encourage Cisco to develop this app further. It would be nice to have a fully functional router admin on your phone or tablet.
