For all those here complaining, I think you all need to do a bit of tinkering in the channels if you are having WiFi problems. I live in an all Apple household:
2 iPhone 6, 2 iPad Air, a MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini, and a 3rd gen AppleTV.
I have a 50 Mbps down, 5 Mbps connection up from Comcast in Houston, Texas. On the 5 GHz band, I routinely get 50-55 Mbps, and 6-7 Mbps up, which was a HUGE speed increase from my previous router, which was a dual band Belkin.
I don't experience any of the WiFi issues, except if it goes more than 30 days without being rebooted, thus I put both my A+ and my cable modem on a wallplug timer, and they both reboot weekly at 3 AM, and that has resolved all issues that I ever see.
I stream Netflix and Amazon Prime frequently without hardly any delay or buffering. I routinely use 275-290 GB of data each month from Comcast. Thank goodness for unlimited!
As far home automation goes, perhaps there are better solutions out there, but I never tried any of them prior to the A+. I currently have 11 Z wave/ZigBee devices connected and they function nearly flawlessly 95% of the time.
6 GE light bulbs
2 Thermostats
1 Schlage dead bolt lock
2 motion detectors
I use the motion detectors + built in rules to turn certain lights on/off and they work flawlessly. I was so excited. Maybe many people had extremely high expectations for this product, but for me, it has met or exceeded my expectations with time and firmware updates.
Yes there definitely are app interface issues. Yes, the development team has put Android development ahead of iOS development (which is kinda rare). Yes, it would be nice if there is a public roadmap, but this is a "smallish" company, not Netgear, Linksys, Cisco, etc., so I've decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure their staff resources aren't as deep as one of the big boys. This is David, not Goliath.
I'm attaching screenshots of my WiFi speeds for all of you who already think I work for Securifi. If you want to find me on social media, I use the same handle here that I am on both Twitter and Instagram.
