About DD-WRT Companion Lite
DD-WRT is a Linux based alternative OpenSource firmware suitable for a great variety of wireless (WLAN) routers and embedded systems.
This app lets you monitor and manage your DD-WRT routers on the go. Anytime. Anywhere.
Management features are being added progressively.
This release contains non-intrusive Ads to help support its development. Please consider purchasing the ad-free version to unlock all the premium features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.rm3l.ddwrt
Differences between the two versions here: https://ddwrt-companion.rm3l.org/#plans
This app requires Secure SHell (SSH) to be enabled (and working!) on the router.
See the support website for instructions: http://ddwrt-companion.rm3l.org
DD-WRT Companion supports both private key and password-based SSH authentication methods.
Features (some of them may not be available in this Lite version)
• Material Design UI, with Dark and Light themes
• Can handle multiple routers, each with different set of settings. Free version is limited to only one Router
• It supports both private key and password-based SSH authentication methods. Of course, such sensitive info is encrypted locally and never ever leave your mobile device.
• PIN protection
• Access Restrictions (Parental Control)
• Speed Testing
• WAN connection status
• Traffic monitoring (realtime and monthly traffic data) + sharing with detailed daily breakdown
→ Backup (as RAW or CSV) and Restore WAN Monthly Traffic Data
• List of hosts connected to the router
→ Notifications - can also show up on wearable devices like smartwatches
→ View details on the network card manufacturer
→ Monitor Active IP Connections (overall and per-client)
→ Distribution Pie charts: view top hosts (destination IPs with the most active connections, or local hosts with the most active connections)
→ View name, IP and MAC addresses, Last Seen date, download/upload rates, total download/upload bandwidth usage, wireless network name, ...
→ View RSSI, Signal Strength and SNR for wireless clients
→ Various sorting and filters options
→ Monitor WAN (Internet) Realtime Traffic for each connected host, with the ability to disable or enable WAN Access with the click of a finger
→ Set local aliases, so you won't always have to remember which MAC Address belongs to which user/device
• Wake on LAN (WOL) support
• Syslog stream output, with keyword lookup and sorting capability
• Ability to set per-router preferences (sync interval, theme, ...)
• OpenVPN logs, with keyword lookup
• OpenVPN Client settings editing: for example, you can change the target VPN server
• WiFi QR-Codes: you now no longer need to share your WiFi password to your guests. Just share the generated QR Code and they can connect instantly (provided they use a compatible QR Code scanner app)
• NVRAM variables listing, editing and sharing
• Actions on Router: reboot, factory defaults, backup / restore
• Toolbox utilities: network diagnostics tools (e.g., ping, traceroute, nslookup, ...)
• Commands: issue any commands to your router, remotely, and retrieve the output
• Home Screen Widgets
Please note that this app is not affiliated to the official DD-WRT project.
For details on which permissions we request and why: http://help.ddwrt-companion.rm3l.org/android/permissions.html
Notes
→ Some DD-WRT builds (e.g., r21061) reportedly have SSH issues. The issue is with the SSH server itself, not with this app.
If the app cannot connect to your Router, first ensure you can SSH into your Router from a computer, using the same credentials you provided to the app.

It asked for a review but it wasn't nagging me and the app is really useful, especially with dynamic DNS set up. 10/10 would DDWRT again

At first go it won't work. Then learnt about SSH. Turned on SSH on ddwrt page, entered all details about router & logged in with root/admin combination & ta-da! It works.

I was hoping for a touchscreen friendly interface for managing my router. Handling reboots pings most of the stuff Luci does but in a touchscreen way. This seems to be just for monitoring uptime of the router. Not useful to me at all. Build Luci interface for my phone as we'll be good.

Good functionality but for some reason the picture in the sidebar causes my device to lag an extreme amount. This is not an issue with other apps. It becomes tedious when I need to open the sidebar. Please fix this and I will consider purchasing this app.

Ok wanted to update my rating to 5. The app totally works and it was my fault I couldn't connect, after going through all my router settings I found I had the wrong ssh enabled. So far everything looks great and I'll most likely be purchasing the full app. Thanks to the developer for reaching out. Edit: lol yep forgot to change the rating.

Only one issue with the actual nuts and bolts of this app is the loading time from page to page. Caching some of the putputs that vary less often maybe? The ads are aweful, i would buy this in a second to get rid of them but the powers that be have shut my wallet off. I wish i could support this app and my sanity these adams are grinding away every day!

Been looking for this idea for months now. It saves me so much time and effort and it works flawlessly. This app really increased my efficiency over squinting at the web interface in chrome on my Nexus 5. Outstanding!

App has real potential. I like it a lot, but I'm running a Tomato version with experimental support and it times out or doesn't work in some areas. Would love to see that fixed and it could be 5 stars.
