SURFboard Central mobile app features
The main navigational features of the SURFboard Central mobile app are the Home,
Network, and Parental Control screens - all accessible by tapping the corresponding icon at
the bottom of the SURFboard Central mobile app - and a Side menu, accessed by tapping
the Collapsed menu icon at the top, left-hand corner of the Home screen.
The Home screen gives you router and satellite information as well as details about devices
both connected and offline.
The Network screen gives you access to view, edit, and enable/disable network settings.
These settings include IP addresses and various configurations such as Port Forwarding,
DNS, and Time Zone. In addition, it provides information about your main network, a button
to test your connection speed, and a switch to enable or disable your Guest network - a
separately secured network apart from your main network.
The Parental Control screen is where you create profiles for your household members. You
can add devices to individual profiles which allows you to control the days and times those
devices are permitted access to your mAX Wi-Fi home network, as well as the ability to
instantly pause all Internet access for a particular profile or all the devices on your entire
network.
The Side menu, accessed by tapping the Collapsed menu icon at the top, left-hand corner
of the Home screen, has six buttons from which you can perform a Speed Test, Add a New
Satellite, Get Alexa Skills, get Help, learn more About your mAX versions and the licensing,
and view your account Settings.
