Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Old app

    By Levi Rhodes (Pcmac user)

    I really wish this app would be updated. My phone says that this app might be slowing down my iPhone. I think this app and the the app Smart WiFi app should be one app together. This app also does not offer features that the web browser offers.
  • Long time no see!!!

    By LicF. (Pcmac user)

    Finally felt something different that no 'unknown device' showed up after iOS 6 or whatever. And finally I can add it back on iOS 8.x without errors probably. And I am glad to see the easy-to-control-and-simply-functional router app again.
  • Update now works on iOS 8.1

    By wichase (Pcmac user)

    Finally, after about 2.5 years of no updates, the renamed app no longer crashes when opening and find my M10 router again. It also now fits the 5s screen size. No new features seem to have been added, but it does seem a little bit faster
  • APP WON'T LAUNCH

    By ROBYNS-RATINGS (Pcmac user)

    A pop message appears upon launching... It says: "A new mobile App is available to use for managing your the app Smart Wi-Fi Router. It allows you to access network information from anywhere at any time, even when you're away from home, and it's free. Get the new app from the App Store. App Store [link] I have the app it refers too... yet I have no other option, then to click on the link @ bottom "App Store" it just takes to me to the App I already have & when I return, even after opening that app... same message pops up again... there is no way around it... the App will NOT launch... I checked for a setting on my device... did not come up with a solution... Deleting if I don't get a response/resolution to this problem.
