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.
