Ratings and Reviews
Very basic app, but nice and easy to setup
Quickest and easier network extender setup I’ve used. I’ve got a network that’s got to cover a large area and only a small budget to make it happen. I’ve ended up with 3 different extenders from different brands each with a different way to set it up, 2 have apps & 1 needed a browser.
Using the tether app I was able to setup the TP-Link extender so quickly and easily that I was sure it had missed something, but it worked 1st try and when I had to reset the network it was just as easy the second time.
Not so many bells and whistles or extra controls, but when all we need is to extend the wifi, keep it secure and block anything unrecognised this does exactly what we need
Could be so much better
It’s easy to set up and mostly user friendly. Wifi Detective in the Tether Lab displays fewer clients than the page for my router and it identifies so few clients with the majority just listed as “generic” and there’s no way to identify each one when you’ve a lot of lights and other smart devices on the network. Finally, it shows my phone as being a wired connection when it’s definitely not. I don’t pretend to be a technical person (I have networked my own home and utilise every resource available on my children’s devices as well as my home network to monitor and regulate their internet exposure so I’m not a total idiot, I hope) so I’ve no idea how difficult it would be to fix the issues above, I just wish I could label all of the clients to ensure everything is working as it should be and be confident nothing is hijacking my connection for other purposes.
Forced to create an online account to manage your local device...
So, here is a gem these geniuses didn’t think about. You are there, looking at your router as you need to check why your internet is down, fish out your iPad to tether your router and now, you are requested to create an online account to be able to use the app... on the flipping device you are trying to connect to the internet.
Probably this was some kind of senior marketing manager thinking “I got the perfect way to increase our reach ability and user engagement, let flipping force them to sign up to use any of our devices that are meant to be providing internet. HaHaHa marvellous idea! What a big dock head am I !HaHaHa!
I swear there is zero reasons I can think off to buy one of your devices in the future. Great way of shooting yourselves in the foot I hope whoever came up with this outstanding idea will be looking for an outstanding place to work when you realise the f-up you just made
