Nokia WiFi Reviews

App is very limited. Single unit setup worked fine, but the wifi mesh provides lower performance, much lower. Positioning and setup of additional unit is frustrating. I ended up using another switch to have all of the Beacons connected over Ethernet backhaul which performs well. I have found that moving about the house, sometimes the connection will not switch between Beacons (e.g. going upstairs to downstairs) so I turn off and turn back on wifi. The software is extremely limited and it appears there are no updates planned. No bridge mode, no ability to rename devices. What I would call standard features for any system I have owned in the last 10-15 years. Support is non-existent and they are obviously given the job of pushing all support tickets away (I.e. get support where you bought it from) even though I bought these units NEW from an online store. Very very disappointing, and the software hobbled what would otherwise be a great product. All of the high star reviews appear to be from a Click Farm as they have limited supporting commentary for their rating.

Having 4 teens in my house, NokiaWiFi was awesome...at first. I had the ability to turn off their phones and laptops at bedtime and during homework. It was the best thing ever to parents....
But it has stopped working. First it was if it turned on cell phone off, it shut down all devices. Now I can’t turn any off. I have sent chats on NokiaWiFi , no response. Can anyone on here help?! It’s a pain to have to collect cell phones and laptops every night. I have also deleted NokiaWiFi several times and downloaded again. HELP please!?

I installed two Beacon 1 routers yesterday. Using NokiaWiFi and getting the network setup was straight forward. Today I can’t login to NokiaWiFi . I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling a couple of times, and nothing.

I tried using the Nokia support through the website. Did not get any immediate response and as of 8 hours since still have received zero communication from Nokia.

At least the WiFi is still up.

You better hope NokiaWiFi works for you the first time, if not, Nokia’s support provides zero help, trying instead to push you off on the place you got the router.

My experience with NokiaWiFi is that it freezes at the screen where you add your router and would not progress. There is no next button or way to move on. Despite this clearly being a problem with the application itself, Nokia provided no support.

The setup of the WIFI using NokiaWiFi worked well. However, I cannot use NokiaWiFi to make changes or check on any network status. NokiaWiFi always claims it cannot find the Nokia WiFi device. The manual claims that if the network was already setup then the WiFi device may be Offline. Seems dumb since I am using the WiFi. NokiaWiFi might assume SSID is unchanged. I changed my SSID and it does not have Nokia in the name. The network is up but I can’t do any changes or access any useful information.

Some odd reason said session expired. I logged back in I got this annoying notification.
another login detected.
Please sign out from other device
and try again.
I don’t have another device even deleted NokiaWiFi in reinstalled got the same annoying notification. There is no sign out so how I’m I supposed to sign out?

I just had fiber internet installed less than 6 hours ago, and was given the Nokia Beacon g6. The device itself seems fine, however, NokiaWiFi is completely garbage. I was in NokiaWiFi completely fine, and left it temporarily, I went to use NokiaWiFi about 4 hours later to install another beacon to put closer to my garage to get my security cameras back up online. NokiaWiFi just keeps telling me that I have NO internet and that I need to connect to the internet. Except, I have internet, I contacted my provider to confirm as well, it’s connected to ALL my devices except for the ones on my garage as I can’t add a new beacon nor change my passwords and network name being NokiaWiFi doesn’t work. I was given the number from my provider to contact Nokia but they are in FINLAND, so I would have to add international calling, which I refuse to do as it costs too much, not to mention time zone issues!!!! This has been a nightmare!! Nokia used to be so good, wth happened?!

Actually, when NokiaWiFi worked if was fine. It was easy to set up and use. The problem is that it doesn’t want to stay working. A week after installing and using NokiaWiFi I got the message “Can’t find your Nokia device. You must be connected to your Nokia WiFi network to use NokiaWiFi. Please check your WiFi settings on your phone.”
Oddly enough the WiFi settings on my phone say that I am on my Nokia WiFi.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling app. That doesn’t work. The only way to get app working again is to turn off Nokia device and to turn it back on. This seems like a ridiculous way to get an app to work.

Horribly unfriendly from an end user standpoint. When new devices connect it doesn’t even give you an inkling of what it is. The last app I used for a WiFi device it would at least say it was a TV or a game system or something to that effect. This tells you 63:68:45:23 connected to your device. And when there is multiple that connect at once like I did when I migrated its nearly impossible to figure them out. Which makes the groupings and possible parental control nearly useless. And the groupings are also not ideal. First, my app appears to be on eastern time zone and I can not change it. Second, you can’t seem to reassign a device to a group. Once you make a decision, thats your only option apparently or you delete the whole group and start over. If anyone knows how to fix the things I’ve mentioned please let me know as I am beyond frustrated with the uselessness of NokiaWiFi!

Adding WiFi statistics is great. If we could get the same stats for wired devices would fantastic. Seeing release notes on firmware updates would be great too so we could see what has been changed. All in all, NokiaWiFi has come a long way and is heading in the right direction as far as providing as much info about your LAN and WAN as other systems like eero.

I have a 2017 Asus 3100 WiFi router, never been hooked up. I tried connecting both direct to the Nokia WAN and through the Ethernet - no luck.
I couldn’t get the Asus router to work until I got NokiaWiFi. NokiaWiFi found the Ethernet connection so I swapped it to the WAN to try that. Connected fine.
Setting security was straightforward, no problems. I’m new to NokiaWiFi and happy so far.

Overall I had a little difficulty setting up the device. The instructions on the web and on NokiaWiFi pretty much match. NokiaWiFi is a bit clunky to start I think it has a lot of great tools and potential and I hope that over the next couple months they will fine tune those tools and make it a lot more user-friendly to tweak and configure your own personal network. Overall I have seen around a 200% increase in my speeds and my various areas of the house that were typically problematic. It’s nice to finally get the full benefit of the band with that I’m paying for instead of going through supplier given Wi-Fi routers.

A little less configuration than I'm used to with my routers, but what is here is smooth and works well. Wish it tried a little harder to identify devices, usually it just shows a MAC address and you have to figure it out and label appropriately.

I don’t want everyone that have had access to my WiFi before to always have access

Good app, works as advertised, simple and intuitive to use for anybody regardless of Wifi “expertise”. It would however be nice to have an “expert” mode for people who want to dig deeper into their wifi performance and setup (considering the beacon sw has all sorts of cool info about interference and dynamic performance data). Good app, lots more potential.

This is a great app to monitor and maintain your home Wi-Fi network. You can easily tell which devices are on your network and which band they are using. Well I miss the bad steering capability that used to be in NokiaWiFi , everything I need for normal home Wi-Fi monitoring is included.

After having Xfinity for years, love that my service is consistently working. Better price, fiber to the modem, able to see everything connected through NokiaWiFi . What more can you ask for.

Before this I was paying double of what I am paying now…with lot better service and speed.

Love NokiaWiFi! I can now control my kids’ screen times by scheduling shut down for dinner, homework, chores and sleep. Slowly at first with sleep. Then move right into the other times. They thought it is just slow wifi. Lol
