Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.4 Build 20210719 rel.12163

Why do you include features in Tether for iOS but NOT include them in the browser-based administration app? For obvious reasons, I can see how some features in the browser-based app might not be in the mobile app, but vice versa? For example, viewing Wi-Fi connections in the iOS app will show the band for each connection while the browser app does not.

 

Were these two tools developed by completely separated teams who were prohibited from communication with one another? What was the logic behind denial of that feature in the browser app?

 

Due to this oversight in the browser-based app, viewing wireless connections from the Basic tab requires me to add a "2.4G" or "5G" suffix to each custom connection name in order to quickly see which band is used by that connection. This custom naming and identification of the band for each was incredibly labor intensive. Thank you so much for that.

 

Can you share whether or not any future firmware updates are planned so I'd know whether or not to submit this as a bug fix? (I say "bug" because resolving the omission of this feature is not an enhancement.

  @MSStateDawg,

Thanks for letting us know that this is not available from WebUI. The apps are most likely developed by two separate teams as the WebUI is technically a part of the firmware for each device, while the Tether App is simply a user-friendly way of interacting with the router's settings. There are other settings that are also unavailable from the WebUI, such as the HomeShield and Parental Control features. 

 

The Tether App recently received an overhaul and has been receiving regular updates, so this may have been added in the newest version but the device's firmware hasn't received an update to use the feature from the WebUI. This is one advantage to the Tether App, is that it allows the company to push the latest feature updates and experiences to all users despite having different router models.

 

I will make sure to forward this to the development team to see if this can be added in a future update to the app.
