App no longer allows you to manage external storage. Can only access it through the router. Since I'm at it.. You have no idea what devices are connecting to your network except for big name devices. At least put an incremental number so you can know what you're trying to block. It's bad, been using Linksys for probably 20 years (not exclusively). When this mesh network eventually stops working because of some update I'll be switching. It's apparent they have no desire to improve anything

A recent update seems to have broken the app. Now when you open the app, it tells you that the router has no Internet connection. But then if you run a router internet speed test in the app, it shows the connection is fine and running properly. But even after the test, the main summary page in the app still shows that there is allegedly no Internet connection. Using a Pixel 5a, Android 14, and EA8300 router. UPDATE: The March 18 app update has resolved the issue for me. Thanks Linksys!

App used to work OK but apparently after some updates it now reports that my network is Offline even though it's definitely online (since I'm able to post this review). Behaves same way on all my devices (two tablets and my cell phone - all running different Android versions) If I manage my router through its web page, everything reports correctly. App won't let me login with email. I must use router password. Yeah, I reset the router...
