NETGEAR Mobile 4+

Update: Allow users to view battery temp in Fahrenheit. My Unite Explore lets us view battery temps under advanced but it's in Celsius. We Americans would prefer Fahrenheit please.

This is a great app that I use with my AT&T Netgear 781S AirCard hotspot. It tells you everything you need to know about your hotspot such as battery percentage, monthly usage, session usage, number of devices connected and so much more! The app gives you essentially the same information you'd see on the actual Netgear screen, but this allows for mobile viewing if you have your hotspot placed away from you such as your office or room. Awesome app to have if you use any of the supported devices listed.

This app is fast and simple, but for myself, trying to do some advanced setting and convert my previous nighthawk AX120 into a bridge/AP and make my newer AXE500 the new network hub. It’s difficult to even get to the online router login page to make these changes, but since that’s not supported very well, it eventually kicks you out of the router admin settings and sends you to netgears home page. It’s very frustrating trying to get this system setup and having to go back. And forth in the online portal that you can’t get back into instead of having this in the APP like previous generations and other products. I expected more from netgear, especially if I had know this , I may have tried to buy into another system/network .

While I find the app to be adequate I am using the MR1100 for Rural internet access and my main access device is an IPAD Pro with Keyboard. This app does not support Landscape mode which is beyond me why developers don’t simply add this feature. I have the same problem with a couple Financial apps as well. If they would support Landscape or Tablet mode, I would have given it 5 stars. Does everything it needs to do without being overly complicated. There is a lot to be said for keeping it simple!
