I installed Google WiFi for a friend.

I found aggravating that:

- I need a smart phone and install an app to set up and configure the router.

- I also like the effort of simplifying the router configuration but I found it is lacking an "advanced mode"

- why if the Internet is down, the internal network does not work at all?

Wow, really? Am i reading that right, that without an active WAN connection, the internal LAN connections don't work on Google WiFi hardware? That sounds more like an "Internet appliance" than it does a router.
