Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of false positives with legitimate web addresses blocked as suspected phishing attempts. For the most part the box operates invisibly in the background, only flagging issues through the bitdefender central app when it detects something amiss. I had no issues with the box connecting to my wave heating control, nest camera and smoke detector. The box 2 ‘clones’ your existing wifi network and you then switch off the isp routers wifi. I have had the box 2 for three months running first with plusnet broadband and then with virgin media. Internet usage seems not impacted by the device – speed etc as good as it was before. Instructions were clear and installation went smoothly. Hi, this product arrived on time and in a nice package. I’ll update this if my experience changes.
Not using a mesh router setup so install was fine. I was a tad apprehensive but i’m happy at the moment with my decision. The phone app is very easy to use and set up. You can rename the devices if you login to bitdefender central on your pc, i don’t think you can do this from your phone app.
I made sure that all devices were off before i started set up then turned each one on at a time. I am very pleased that it does not interfere with the internet speed at all and the bedroom tv’s can play netflix at the same time without any buffing. The bedroom tv i had to try and connect it about 10 times but it eventually picked up the signal. I just had to click on forget the old connection then it found the new one. The subnet setting on my printer was not connecting to the default subnet setting on the box. I had a problem with my printer connecting so i contacted bitdefender by email and had a quick response and was very helpful.
I set the box 2 up with isp provided router( virgin media). Very easy to set up and works without any issues.
