Heaven help you if you forget any one of the three different passwords required to manage a TP network. There's a router, Tether, and Wi-Fi password and for the life of me can't understand why the router needs a password when using Tether. Access to the network is already provided at that point so it acts like a system filled with credential walls because they didn't know how to manage access.

Setting up the device was smooth and quick. There was only a few settings that I cannot set via the app. Great piece of software. I had a little trouble due to the Aura app. Which after disabling it no problems which only showed up during finding the router the first time. After the setup the app didn't affect the operation of the program at all.

The app is pretty good but there are some things I would change. 1) Not all settings can be done in the app. I can understand some like changing the password. 2) The notification of a device joining the network is inadequate. The notification does not say which device/mac (and which network [I have 2]) and if you go into the app there is no log of notifications. Keep them with a setting for how long and a clear all option.
