I thoroughly enjoy the throughput of the device. However, basic functionality of a wireless router is completely missing from the smart phone app. Even the simple capability of hiding the SSID cannot be accomplished through the smartphone app. About the only thing that can be done through the smartphone app is set up the wireless and agree to sign up for add on features for additional costs.
