This DD-WRT app uses the web interface of your DD-WRT enabled router, so please make sure you have this enabled. Accessing your router remotely (away from the local network) requires you to know the WAN IP address and port of your network OR to have a DDNS address setup that forwards to your network. (You can set up DNS forwarding at www.dyn.com) DD-WRT has many different versions, so if you have any problems accessing any data please get in touch using the Feedback button so we can look at adding more support.

Uninstalled as I moved to OpenWrt for my routers and access points. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-25, version 3.0.17* Can’t add router yet. Not working ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t be a subscription! *2024-04-26, version 3.0.15* One should not have to pay for a subscription to use features of a router we own!! Sell it as a one time purchase!! ### 5/5 — You bastard *2024-01-24* You made it so nice and then put the rest of the features behind a paywall, bravo. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Customer Service *2022-12-29* I’d like to commend Darren Jones for outstanding customer service. I was having difficult getting the app to work and he was very professional in helping me resolve my issue. Additionally, he noticed that my router had outdated firmware and sent me the URL to get the latest. I appreciate all of his help. ### 2/5 — Previous supporter now disappointed *2022-09-10* I had previously supported this app when it was called DD-WRT HD and it was a great app. However I haven’t had to use it for a while. Today I opened it and received a message that the new app requires subscriptions, but as a previous supporter I can get a free permanent unlimited subscription by downloading the new app. That sounds great, but when I open the new app I am bombarded by a screen asking me subscribe, so I can only assume that the account transfer doesn't really work. I was also informed by my original app that I could download the original legacy app for free by going into my purchase history, but this is also appears to be untrue. I’m wondering if it is because my version of the app doesn’t match the same name as has replaced it in the App Store. I am willing to change my rating if it is an error on my part for trying to upgrade incorrectly, but I’m not holding my breath. **Developer response:** Hi, I have uploaded the paid version you can get for free as DD-WRT Legacy, however an issue with the app store meant users that bought the HD version instead of the Pro version didn't get awarded it for free. If you email me I can get it sorted for you. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to connect to my router *2022-08-31, version 3.0.4* Can’t get it to connect to my Archer C7 router with DD-WRT standard. What am I doing wrong? I will update my rating if I can get the app to connect. ### 1/5 — Do yourself a favor. Just go download a different app for your router *2022-05-27, version 3.0.3* You’re better off looking for a different DD-WRT control app from the App Store (or using the normal web interface for your router). The alternatives have to work better than this subscription locked app from a company that doesn’t appear to value the customers that helped it get to where it is today. It would be kind to say that the Version 3 update is garbage. Garbage can often be composted or turned into energy or recycled. This app is only suitable for the delete bin. In defense of the update one could say that the version 3 update “looks pretty”. Unfortunately that “pretty face” hides a total lack of functionality as none of the buttons or features now work in the new app after the developer updated the app from version 2. In version 2, the prior major release, all the tools, the web gui links, and everything worked great. The UI was responsive and users could easily reboot their router. This changed with the new version 3 app update. Nothing works, there is no functionality available after the update. Just a pretty UI and a “this requires a subscription” screen that appears whenever you click anything. To do anything with the router users need to download a different app. In short: The New v3 app version is useless. I wish I could trust the positive 5 star glowing reviews, but they seem like they are from when the developer had a good product and support process prior to the v3 release and when they valued their prior customers. They provided a lot of customer support back then as the company used to care for the customers who had helped get the company to where it is today. You can tell they used to care about customers. It was apparent from their patch notes where they gave an unlimited free subscription to this new app to their original customers (who had purchased their non-subscription app) after moving to the new application that used a subscription model. Now the company has moved on … to a “what have you done for me lately” point of view. Apparently that care they used to have? It just isn’t there anymore because they took that unlimited subscription they granted to the new app away for all their old supporters and now try to wave their hands saying that nothing was taken away. “Go download a different app. You can’t use this new app where we gave you an unlimited free subscription.” So do yourself a favor. Just go download a different app for your router. It’s the advice the dev is giving their old customers. ### 3/5 — V3 experience lacking *2022-05-07, version 3.0.2* Initial experience with v3 does not support claim of speed improvement, cannot actually get responsive interface at all. V2.15 far superior, returning. V3 not even allowing transfer to web gui without subscription is absurd. Not sure if you are actually trying to convince your user base that they should just use that instead? Avid supporter and willing to consider continuing with subscription model but at this price and initial feature list it’s going to fail. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-04-21, version 3.0* Can believe what they have done with this application. It was ok I the past, but you can login to the router and do the same think. How you have to pay to do anything. I will be deleting from my devices. ## Frequently asked questions about DD ### What does this app do? This app allows you to manage and monitor your DD-WRT enabled routers both locally and remotely.
