ROG Connect on iphone and ipad now available!

[itcrashed]

Okay I checked both Verizon amd AT&T iPhone plans. You need to be subscribed to both a Data Plan and the tethering option.

Verizon
Unlimited data for $30/month (temporary offer).
2 GB of data for tethering or hot-spotting for $20/month

AT&T
200 MB for $15/month.
2 GB for $25/month.
Tethering for $20/month; no additional data included. (No hot-spotting available.)

...which is why I refuse to pay AT&T for a feature that should be included in their 2GB monthly plan....they make no sense charging an additional fee for tethering. If you use 2GB, you use 2GB...it shouldn't matter if it's tethered or directly used on the phone.

I may jailbreak using greenpoison...seems easy enough to do.

I have the Data plan which allows access to the internet the Tethering is another charge on top of the Data plan. Both Verizon and AT&T want to make some extra money allowing you to use your phone as a modem to connect your laptop to the internet. Best option i guess would be to be able to use WiFi to connext to the R3E. But for some reason that doesn't work either. I'm not sure if it's the phone or if I am just doing something wrong connecting. I know that when my phone connects to my home network that I don't get charged for any Data usage on my plan.

I understand that tethering is the issue for bluetooth connections on the iPhone, but why does it fail to connect to the iPod? Obviously tethering isn't an issue with it. I still cannot get these two to pair, much less use iDirect. Not to mention the latest update to the iDirect app killed all my connections. I was able to at least use USB or wi-fi with the previous version.

I just noticed this feature was released for iphone and ipad. I've read all i can to get this feature going, but still epic fail for me. I didnt install the bluetooth connector to motherboard when i built this rig. I just want to use the WIFI to connect. It just wont work. I have installed Mobilink 10037 and checked that it is running in task manager, and it is. My iPad with Firmware 4.2.1 is connected to WIFI. iPad is Jailbroken. Still all i get is "unable to connect to the computer. Please check the connection type in connection," I have selected WIFI in connection and typed in IP Address. Nothing. Am i missing a step here? Any suggestions? Cheers

The current version of the application is broken and they have yet to release a fix.

It would be nice if they made the IPA for the earlier version of the app available so we could at least roll it back. The board may not be bleeding edge flagship it once was, but it's most certainly not a bargain bin special either. I was hoping it would be afforded a bit more post release attention. Rather irritating to have an advertised, not to mention useful function, be broken in the course of an update go seemingly unacknowledged. I've always liked the build quality of ASUS boards, but the post release support has sometimes left a bad taste in my mouth, and was a consideration for me during the final decision that lead to me buying this board. No one is asking for daily progress reports and monthly BIOS revisions, but an update that renders a function unusable should warrant some level of acknowledgement.

Unfortunately I dont think it will ever get fixed because its my understanding that they dont think there is anything wrong with it since it works just fine if you use bluetooth with tethering.

I've been waiting for almost 8 months for a solution since I bought this mobo. Id say its pretty hopeless at this point.

Just so you know, version 1.0.0.17 of the ROG Connect iPhone app was released today on the app store. Unfortunaly I am unable to test it as my main pc is undergoing a major overhaul
