It’s straight I guess

Ok so I’m not too sure there was a mistake in buying this router. The app loads way too slow.. I mean like my phone is connected to the WiFi for goodness sake so to be slow with loading is insane. Can’t even try to get in it when I’m not home because I know it just won’t work. This app is not useful. It’s showing 4 other unidentifiable devices but doesn’t list them. The parental controls are Not Easy to understand and the App itself was not simple to set up but once it did it happened in the blink of an eye so I don’t even know how I managed to set up the account. Fix all the bugs please!

Unworkable schedule

Digikey disappointment
1) The clock gets confused at 12:00 AM/PM. If I want to set the access time from 10AM to Midnight, I should be able to select 12:00AM, but I can’t because the app says the end time can’t be before the start time. So I choose 12:00PM, same message. It treats noon and midnight as both AM and PM. I cannot allow access across noon and midnight.2) Once you set a time, it can’t be edited. Why? You have to delete and add another. If you make an AM/PM mistake, tough, you have to start over.

Almost useless

Warns you of a unknown device connecting but there is no way of knowing which one. Currently I see 29 unidentified devices, but I can’t tell one from the other, I only see the brand or manufacturer, but several devices have the same basic description with no mac address or any other different identifying feature. I can much more effectively manage my network without this useless app. Deleted, done. It was advertised as added security in the router/modem i bought, however I now realize I was duped into buying the router by mcafee selling its name recognition to the modem manufacturer, but it has no functionality

Can’t find the Arris modem/ router

After installing the Arris modem / router combo and installing Surfboard Manager, I got to the recommended last step....Mcafee. And the app can’t find the router. A note in the App Store description says supports IOS 11. I’m on IOS 13. What a hassle. C’mon developers.....Updating this review. Tried it again, and the app was able to find the router and my network devices. I successfully completed the app installation but the app doesn’t do anything. It’s just wants to tell you that the network isn’t secure and you need to install Mcafee software......and eventually bill you for It. Ugh. I deleted the app.
