This app is here just so that ASUS can say their router can be configured with phone. Good luck with that! Workflow is jumbled, app does not support all the features (expressway for one) and labeling is misguiding and confusing. At the end, it boils down to using the web UI that is designed for desktop/laptop on my tiny phone screen.
All of you guys are complete morons. This isn't the app that you're supposed to specifically use in order to configure your new router. Don't just buy something without any knowledge beforehand or you're gonna end up embarrassing yourself once again and get angry. The real ASUS router app is by far the best compared to all competitors, and yes I've had all brands.
APP is unstable and reads "Offline" frequently. Customer service is a waste of time as I was rushed and hang-up on three times. I has to figure it out. Their lost says my older RT-AC1750 is compatible with my newer RP-AC1900. But, the AiMesh node never appears in my AC1750 even after latest firmware. I'm sending it back for a refund because it works as an overpriced extender. I'll purchase another $50 plug-in Netgear extender that's given me zero problems and providems more internet speed.
Great, then not. The network tools in this app were fantastic until they suddenly stopped working. Clearing app cache didn't fix, full uninstall/reinstall didn't fix. Disappointing, there's a lot of potential.
I could not have setup my repeater without this app. It wasn't easy, tho. Updated firmware thru this app. Then reset again. Then (after uninstalling & reinstalling this app) set up thu this app again. Logged into repeater with a web browser. Switched setting to *Ai Mesh Mode*. Installed "Asus Router" app on phone. Ai Mesh Mode still didn't work after trying to do it thru "Asus Router" app. Plugged extender into Asus router w/a CAT5 cable, worked w/Asus router app. I tried every other way. No.
How to use this app..... First, install app. Press "set up extender" button on main paid of app. It tells you to do 2 things then doesn't let you do them because the app overlay is hiding android settings. Go back to main screen. Marvel at how there is no way to set up a network map of an existing network. Try button 2. Still no way to set up map. Try button 3 for FAQ. Notice how the app doesn't take you to an FAQ. Rate app 1 star while wishing zero stars was an option and uninstall.
Don't waste your time, so buggy. Doesn't support spaces in SSID's so completely useless to me and took a while to even get to that point due to the overlaid buttons being inconsistent and placed under graphics.
It is incredible how useless this app is. It is bringing more confusion to the setup process just by it's existance. You need to know how to use web-ui if you really want to configure your device. And the web config is not phone-friendly. Horrible experience, money wasted, someone at ASUS should loose their job for doing this to the company.
After updating to the lates version, the Network tool->wifi scanner and wifi Analyzer stopped working. Both selections just go to a blank screen.
Unable to connect whatsoever method we use. Call centre is for fun as no one ever answered. I am never ever will buy any Asus products in my life. Still unable to extend my wifi even after following all due process
Good for basic operation. To make it work cable to WiFi you will need to use the web interface anyway.
IT SUCKED BECAUSE ALL BUTTONS ARE BROKEN AND THE APP DOES NOTHING BUT TROLLING YOU please Asus fix this I would be proud if I give you 5 Stars but no so if it's been a improvement then 3,4,5 stars so please fix this glitch and stop messing with my time ASUS and thanks for the developers who is going to fix this Thank you Asus (In Search Of Incredible)
The GUI is awful and can't connect to the repeater. FAQ is worthless.
ASUS had good products in the past, but with the RP-AC55 they screwed up. Repeater crashes frequently, and support has no answer :(
Literally does nothing but tell you to open your settings and connect to a SSID that doesn't exist yet.
The router app does something. This extender app doesn't seem to do anything.
Somehow firmware update* failed, now repeater doesn't work, app is useless
Cannot set up the extender, even after selecting the default SSID in the network settings, it says before setting the extender select the default SSID.
WiFi from RP AC55 works but cannot connect to Internet on either repeater or mesh setting
Really bad i dunno what should I do. I tried tons of times but it doesn't work anymore. I did everything. Damn
Worked for setup, never worked again, did it manual.
Some tools didn't function at all... Pls fix this then will rate again...
My password doesn't have numbers. I cannot add the reporter to my network.
Crashes every time on startup
Cant log in even if user and pass is correct
Unable to communicate with app. Sent question To developer. Will see.
After selecting device you cannot recofingure it. Need to restart to factory
Enormous waste of time and money.
No more headaches. I agree with a previous reviewer that Asus has by far the best equipment and ui/firmware/software in this range. I don't have experience with large business based systems but as far as home/family/personal wifi and networking go... Nothing compares in a similar category and price range. I spent just under $200 on my router and it has all the features I wanted and more. A comparable router with similar features from the 4 other major competitors I looked at was $350 and above.
