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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cisco Business Wireless at none against DD's 9. Cisco Business Wireless also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). DD's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (327 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DD sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 3 months. Cisco Business Wireless asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DD holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 327 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of DD's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cisco Business Wireless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DD ships an update monthly, Cisco Business Wireless every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
