New app is not that great. Very slow to start up. Tried remote management and it doesnt seem to want to connect. The connected devices list just has everything marked as connected to the router rather than identifying the satellite (if they are connected there). Once I very briefly saw a device marked as connected to one of my satellites and then it changed - I know that there are several devices connected to the satellites as I can see them when I login to them.
If you pop up the system map and click on a satellite, none of the connected devices are shown - everything appears on the router.
I think you mean not great for you.
Why would you want remote management, are you actually remote? (I think RM is a horrible idea for 99+% of users). Most can barely manage when locally connected.
Regardless, mine opens with the speed of any other IOS app (maybe it is your phone?). And it displays all of my services and any unique names I've given them (per satellite in network map).
So, it - along with Orbi in general - work great for me. What I don't get is how it would be possible for Netgear to have such horrible manufacturing processes. Seems like a huge amount of skew given the majority of owners globally work fine (if they didn't I think there would be an uproar beyond this forum) and those that seem to have ones that are broken.
