This app works maybe half the time. Just went through two hours of troubleshooting a satellite that wasn't coming up with the core router's SSID. It's ludicrous that there's no internal web page on these devices. Instead of troubleshooting directly on the device, you have to troubleshoot the device AND the app. Maybe it's the device, maybe it's the app. I understand the goal is to make setup user-friendly, but troubleshooting for 2 hours with customer support because there's no visibility into the device's actual configuration is NOT user-friendly. (The app insisted that the satellite SSID was the correct one, meanwhile the hardware was advertising a default SSID of "ARRISFH-a bunch of numbers" on the actual satellite radio.) The fact that these devices cost ~$300 apiece, and don't have any kind of internal management interface is a stunningly bad decision on Arris' part.

Main router loses connection to the satellite every 2 days. Had to do a factory reset multiple times, until finally the main router and satellite unit will not even talk to one another. Placed 6" apart, it can not find the satellite. Very very disappointed in a $650.00 system, i'll be returning mine. When it does work, great speeds via wi-fi, but irrelevant if you can't connect the second level of your house. App is very lacking, loses connection with router name and devices on router disappear.

This app is really bad. Most of the time, my satellite device doesn't even show up and I can't click on my main device to reboot it. This happens after about two days of runtime without unplugging the units and plugging them back in. And then there's so many features missing compared to a normal router. I can't even select what channel I want to run the devices on so that they don't conflict with other devices in the neighborhood. I feel incredibly unhappy with this very expensive product.
