admin page

OK, so with the 1.00.16 firmware upgrade of the Arcadyan you can NO longer enter the admin level with the gateway. You are forced to use the mobile application if you want to do so.

It is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion but it is how T-Mobile has decided it will be I guess. Maybe the developers just messed up and now the admin option is not there or it was a decision they made. I personally dislike the mobile application as I prefer the web GUI interface for management. It makes no sense to me as you can ONLY use the mobile application to communicate with the gateway when connected to the WIFI. That prevents you from being able to make changes with a wired Ethernet connection and not having to wait for the gateway to respond after changes to the wireless LAN settings. Lets see, you have a problem with your phone or don’t have it on you so you cant manage the gateway. A single inferior option for management is a poor solution. Letting the bean counters drive the solution is always a bad idea.

It is what it is. If users want to make noise and push for improvements they all have to make lots of noise. It is about the bottom line more than likely. Pushing to make more money with less effort. 2022
