Routerdesk: Router Admin

Routerdesk finds your router address (like 192.168.1.1) and opens its admin login page right in the app. Run a WiFi speed test, change your Wi-Fi password with step guides, and follow a step-by-step fix when the internet is down.

New in 1.1: compare with your internet plan. Enter the speed you pay for, and every test shows how much of it you actually get. Your history also shows a plan line and a count of tests below 80%. It's in the outage report you can send to your provider, too. Each test now shows how much data it used, and your history remembers your internet provider (and Wi-Fi name, if you turned Wi-Fi info on). The CSV export includes all of this. Thanks for using Routerdesk!

When the internet drops, open Routerdesk. The home screen is a live line map, drawn like a metro map: this iPhone, your router, the internet. If the line breaks, the map shows which stop is the problem and gives a one-sentence verdict: the router, something outside the home, DNS, a sign-in page, or mobile data.

Then the app walks you through the fix, one question at a time. The guided fix works offline, and it includes a restart timer so you know how long to wait before checking again.

Routerdesk is for your own router and your own network.

Five places to start
• It's slow
• It's not working
• Who's on it
• A guest is here
• Is it safe

Speed test that explains itself
• Download, upload, delay, jitter and packet loss
• Delay when the line is busy
• A plain answer on whether calls, HD, 4K and online games will run well
• A history chart of past measurements, with CSV export

Room by room
Measure from each room, place the rooms on a simple home plan, and see where the weak spot is.

Keep watch and report
• Keep watch logs connection drops while the app stays open on screen
• Make a PDF report of outages and speeds to send to your internet provider

Your router's admin page
• Open the admin page inside the app, with desktop view and find on page

• Router sign-in notes stay on this device in Keychain behind Face ID and are never synced

Devices on your network
See the devices that answer on your network, give them names and rooms, and spot new ones. Ping a device or check its ports. Only devices that answer will appear, so the list may not include everything.

No ads, no account, nothing collected.
