I have the question into D-Link but haven't heard back yet. you're probably right and that these use a different form of client steering so not compatible. not sure how I missed that in the FAQ.

I guess I could try the app and see if it recognizes the QR code of my COVRs. the app looks like it's branched off the same stuff they've been using for years.
Interesting that this line isn't really popular in the U.S. I've seen a bunch of reviews out of Australia though.
