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.

Features
Read full description

This app is a simplified interface for editing switch port settings within the RG Nets revenue eXtraction gateway (rXg). The goal of this app is to allow the operator to give this app to support personnel thus enabling limited admin control. The app uses the rXg RESTful API. The rXg must be deployed on a publicly accessible IP, associated with a public DNS record and configured with a valid SSL certified for this app to function. The account linked to the API key used as a login for this must be have read and write access for this app to be functional. This app is meant to be used by administrators of networks that run RGNets rXg routers. Administrators of the network will have access to a QR code in console of the rXg that can be scanned using the app, which will log the administrator into the app. This app is meant for external distribution and is available to anyone who wants to use it and can be purchased by any company. This app will be distributed anywhere in the world.
