are you guys willing to change the router interface anytime soon ? + the mobile app looks old too

 

[bobsilver]

There is a series of new apps coming from Netgear built around cloud access to network shares. In the past Netgear routers used a different but similar app to that of their ReadyNas devices. They are merging the two into a common interface and creating interoperability. Look for announcements in the January timeframe.

Regarding the UI?? This was redone about a year ago and no plans I am aware of for a change. Personally I like it.
