Nokia WiFi

Before unpacking I had set aside 1+hr to get it set up and working. Downloaded the setup instructions, started the setup and to my surprise I had set up two devices in less than 30 min. I have ATT U-verse giga bit service to the house and 100% wireless in the house (nothing connected with Ethernet). Without the mesh my upload and download speeds were terrible and I was considering switching back to cable. With the mesh I am seeing a 10 fold increase in upload and download speeds . The app is helpful in seeing and managing connected devices. The only annoying thing are the emails the system sends when the system detects a connection issue. It’s annoying because there appear to be no actionable steps for me to take. Aside from the system emails this is a great solution.

Overall I had a little difficulty setting up the device. The instructions on the web and on the app pretty much match. The app is a bit clunky to start I think it has a lot of great tools and potential and I hope that over the next couple months they will fine tune those tools and make it a lot more user-friendly to tweak and configure your own personal network. Overall I have seen around a 200% increase in my speeds and my various areas of the house that were typically problematic. It’s nice to finally get the full benefit of the band with that I’m paying for instead of going through supplier given Wi-Fi routers.

Good app, works as advertised, simple and intuitive to use for anybody regardless of Wifi “expertise”. It would however be nice to have an “expert” mode for people who want to dig deeper into their wifi performance and setup (considering the beacon sw has all sorts of cool info about interference and dynamic performance data). Good app, lots more potential.

Mesh feature is amazing and the app lets you see what devices are currently connected to what beacon. I have 16 WiFi connected devices in one 2 story house and they are all this fast! The app is needed to get the full benefit and very simple and easy to use.

The setup of the WIFI using the APP worked well. However, I cannot use the APP to make changes or check on any network status. The APP always claims it cannot find the Nokia WiFi device. The manual claims that if the network was already setup then the WiFi device may be Offline. Seems dumb since I am using the WiFi. The APP might assume SSID is unchanged. I changed my SSID and it does not have Nokia in the name. The network is up but I can’t do any changes or access any useful information.
