I'm a little concerned that an android device is listed as _required_... i would hope all functions of the wifi devices can be configured/administrated from the web or just an internal browser pointed to the device(s).

There is no Web interface; you really do have to use the app.

  Well, that's a deal breaker. I don't own an Android device. There's no excuse for not providing a web interface.

    iPhone or Android.

      Okay, that's a bit better, but it should still have a web interface.

        There are security implications: How do you provision a cert for it? Do you really want it running a full web server? The native application is pretty great, because I can manage it from anywhere. (Which includes managing my parents one from anywhere.) I've honestly not needed a web interface, after getting used to it. A web interface is reportedly on the roadmap, but not a high priority. The last time it came up on reddit, the question asked by the PM was "how would you use it differently than the native app?" And the nice thing is, he takes those suggestions and feedback seriously.

    I own an Android device and it's still a dealbreaker. I thought it was cool to deploy a web application from my smartphone but after having done it once or twice, and two or three times having to hotfix production stuff from my smartphone, I can say it's not a device made to configure anything except alarm clocks.

      In this case, OnHub has pretty much no configuration other than the SSID and password.

        That's terrible. What about: - Proxy settings - MAC address cloning - Port forwarding - Strict security controls - Wifi bands, 2.4 vs 5GHz (I guess this is less important) - Logs

        It does have port forwarding buried under advanced settings but I didn't see the others.

That's the one thing I hate about my Apple airport - great wifi, but I need a fscking app in order to configure it.
