Most buildings now have more than one way onto the internet: fibre, fixed wireless, satellite, cellular. Having two is not the same as staying online, because nothing moves your traffic when one of them stops. That is what this does. smart.router manages the router on your premises. It watches every connection, moves your traffic to a working one when one fails, and moves it back when it recovers. The router decides on its own, in seconds, and keeps deciding even when it cannot reach us. The app is how you see it and set it. IN THE APP • Every line into the building, whether it is carrying your traffic right now, and how it is doing • Live traffic, and the last hour, day or week • A speed test on any line, run by the router itself rather than by your phone, so you measure the line and not your wifi • Network Health Test: your router and every line, tested from anywhere. On your own network it tests the WiFi too • A nightly speed test on every line, so the day something changed is a point on a chart instead of an argument • The devices on your network, what they are, and whether they are really there • A private connection back to your own network from anywhere • Which line is primary and which is backup, chosen by you • A message when your internet moves, and another when it comes back • Nate, a built-in assistant that answers questions about your router in plain language NO SMART.ROUTER? WIFI TEST No account and no smart.router needed. In about 30 seconds the app tells you in plain words whether a slow connection is your WiFi or your internet line. • Phone to router and phone to internet, measured side by side • Whether large data gets through • Whether the connection is slow • A result you can share with whoever supports you WHAT IT TELLS YOU PLAINLY A line that keeps dropping is held off until it is steady, and the app says so in words: what happened, and what is usually behind it. You should not have to read a routing table to find out that a cable is failing. WHAT YOU NEED For the WiFi Test: nothing. For everything else: a supported router, managed by smart.router. The app is the companion to that service, so it shows your own routers and nothing else. Speeds and connections shown in the App Store images are examples. The app is free and there is nothing to buy in it. Sign in with Apple or Google. You can delete your account in the app. No advertising.

On your own network it tests your WiFi too. Without a smart.router the same test is now called WiFi Test. It now works on IPv6 networks as well. Nate now asks before your first question is sent, and Preferences turns it off. Speed history shows latency, and every test opens the full list. Support is one tap away in the menu. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-25 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
