Works well for what it does - this is a really dumbed-down configuration tool that hits most of the high points, but without a ton of configuration options that might confuse people. There's very little documentation, because there simply aren't a lot of configuration options - there's something to be said for "it just works," and this does. The app frequently doesn't realize it's connected to its own network when you first open it - just select the wifi name in the app itself and it figures it out. Annoying, but not a serious issue. It does not allow you to assign a reserved IP address to a device, which is an important feature for things like printers. It loses 2 stars for missing critical functionality. I don't think it's enough for me to return the devices, but it sours me on the product. Guest network does appear isolated from main network, which is good - put your IoT devices on that guest network, primarily, to minimize risk of exposing your main network. The app doesn't tell you that, though, or give you an option to change it - again, dumbed-down, but in the way that's best for most users.

There is no option in the app to reboot the system on demand. The QoS settings are severely lacking, and don't allow options for setting priority groups. There is no option to set a preferred access point for any given device. My PC consistently connects to an access point 80 feet away, rather than the one 20 feet away (presumably because the data speeds -look- better), and constantly disconnects, but won't switch to any of the 3 closer points.

Excellent app for an excellent product. I was skeptical at first of using an app to setup a network instead of the typical web based interface, until I tried it... Made setup and management of my Meshforce devices quick and effortless! I just had to connect to the first mesh node and plug the others in to the power, and the app automatically detected them and set everything up for me. It walks you through everything. Definitely a step above the competition!
