I'm booted off without notification! Then ALWAYS prompted to sign in to account. I never signed out. Send I have to change my password at every login in ? not impressed

Why should I have create a Netgear account to use this app?

Bad idea to put your network access/management online. Even worse idea to even consider using a Facebook account for authentication. Why can’t this app be used on my local network to manage my Netgear devices????

Only worked for 3 months .. always having to unplug then plug it back in .. want money to get help.. and was too expensive..AC750 definitely not worth the $67.54 with tax.

The hardware is in the shelf life, but it is ignored after the sale.

After less than six months of use, the device can't be powered, the hardware is in the shelf life, but the after-sales is ignored.The switch cannot be powered on, no indicator is displayed, the reset is invalid, and the network port has no indicator.

Not designed for iDevices

Or at least nobody bothered to test it. Couldn’t create a new account. Period. But along the way I fount hat I couldn’t even tap the create a new account link on an iPhone because the keyboard covers it an the is no scroll. If you have an account, fine. Otherwise, Tantalus. So I switched to my iPad. Now there is enough room to see the link. But guess what? It doesn’t work. Seriously!

This is awful don’t buy the hardware or use the software

This is an awful software. Not intuitive. The hardware is worse. Don’t buy this. I consider myself pretty tech savvy. But this requires too much energy to resolve.

App review - hard to use

This is NOT a renew of the hardware but rather the software and the installation/setup process which was rather like watching Scotland trying to qualify for the World Cup: disappointing and irritating. First the app forces portrait mode rendering my iPad Pro with a keyboard rather useless. The setup is not very intuitive and perhaps confusing if things are done in the ‘wrong’ order. I purchased a NAS214 and four 12TB disks, the max configuration for this device. Putting the disks in before configuring the device maybe made things more difficult. As soon as I put the disks in and power on the device it started syncing the data. I let this run for about 5 hours and then powered down to get this app and configure the device. After configuration was done the device was recognized, on my LAN with an IP. Status showed it configured as RAID5 giving about 37TG. With about 12 hours of resyncing the formatting is about 1/3 complete. With RAID5 there is no need to write 48TB of zeros. You can write the control structures only. No real validation of the ‘health’ of the disk is accomplished by this as its almost certain the the controller with ‘eat’ bad sectors with no errors until the free pool is exhausted. You only to a setup once so if the hardware is reliable I would probably get a bigger one of these if all goes well.
