There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Long story short, this is NOT a production quality product. The price is ridiculous to its quality. I would not buy it for half or quarter the price. Because it is a totally waste of time and money!
Since there's no monthly or annual fee, I probably shouldn't complain. :)
For future development, I'd love more specific control over how it interacts with my network. The VLAN it creates when using its own DHCP server works but I'd rather it not be there. I'd prefer to use my own address range and be able to assign IP address from this device. Another thing I'd love to see would be a web based interface so I'm not dependent on my phone. Phone is great when I'm at work and the kids do something I need to know about, but at home I'd rather my computer.
Time will tell I guess
