Perfect WiFi tool. But it would be even better if it could support channel 149 and above in the 5 GHz graph on the LOCATION tab.

I like the app, but as long as the app doesn't close via recents, notifications or has an embedded close the app button I have to give 1 star for this annoying closure process which forces me to go to the android app settings and push the Force Stop button

Junk. Installed only to help locate a repeater. Just says "No FritzBox found" and "evaluate position" is disabled. My 3490 is configured as a master already. Why on earth does it need to see that anyway ?

For the handling of wifi it is doing the job...but one very important feature is missing - on the network devices i can't change the access profile of the user, for example if you want to grant/block internet time to your children

The application works great. I would like to propose one enhancement request: to use this application as a "sonar" to determine the WLAN signal strength. Pitcher sound for higher signal strength 😉

What a joke! I use this with Fritz Box Router which is fantastic device but this app is useless joke. Since yesterday I have problem with my internet connection eg. no internet, but this app showing constantly that my internet connection is strong and fast. Useless. Unistalling.

The app seems quite good for monitoring my WLAN; the name is a bit confusing, as it is installed just as "WLAN" and it can be missed in the App menu...

Problem is not fixed, and app is not ready for Wifi 6. Does not display up to channel 172. Great app, but this is a flaw or omission. Have to use other apps to manage ALL my ap's......

After the update the App no longer worked with Repeaters. I had to uninstall, then remove all remanents of the App before reinstalling the App. Now it works again.

Useful functionality and design, especially the goodput measurement! There's just an issue where it breaks when app-switching in the graph.

Good layout with lots of information. Good to check wifi quality in the house. Especially useful when you have Fritz mesh devices as you can easily compare connection quality to the different devices in your mesh.

App and help Websites from avm do not work at all. Network just keeps removing all Devices. Can't connect any device, can't change settings and even with the App it's no use.

Would be nice if the app could trigger WPS for the Fritz's guest WiFi through its Share Network feature. There's a lot of stuff here that I don't need. Ideally, the Share WiFi feature should be incorporated into the MyFritz app.

Good concept, doesn't work for me, though. I was trying to use it in order to connect to eduroam (the european education wifi network), wich works with a user/password combination. The app asks for a password, but doesn't do anything after that.

I have only downloaded this app because i needed to set up my new repeater. The app doesnt recognize my FRITZ REPEATER so its basically useless for me. I wanted to use it to help locate the best position for the repeater but if the app says there isnt one, while i am actively using its wifi in my house, is just trash. Im really disappointed because fritz products are so good in general. Yeah and im also really pissed off that you want my location data when its not even working. Its bad guys! Sry

This app is very good and does its job. However, I don't know why it doesn't allow us to see channels 149+ in the 5Ghz band... I'd like it if you added support for those channels in the related graph :)

I have been using this for years and I like the functionality, But I DON't like that since some version it demands to use LOCATION SERVICE. You don't need that, you only need WiFi. And I don't want to have to switch that on, often forgetting to switch it off again. So REMOVE that.

I was trying to set up my Fritz!Box for almost 5 hours now and I don't even know what the problem is. I've been trying to reach the customers interface for hours and no matter what I do it won't open. Tried to get the app but still nothing works and I'm really fed up. I do have some good experiences with another Fritz!Box though. It worked absolutely smoothly and there was nothing to complain about but I really don't like the new 7590 this thing is super unreliable.

AVM is really top designers about routers and same devices' FW, but I am sorry to say that this is the second app which I am forced to define "elementary" and almost useless. A caothic container of connection's info which can be easily retrived browsing android settings pages. Every tap, this app asks for location access and other info permissions. Immediately removed.
