Getting Started
Connect your OpenWRT router to WRTune and start managing your network.
This guide walks you through connecting WRTune to your OpenWRT router for the first time.
Prerequisites 🔗
- An OpenWRT router running 24.10.x or newer
- The router’s IP address on your local network
- The root username and password for your router
- Wi-Fi connection to the router’s local network
First Login 🔗
- Download and install WRTune from the App Store or Google Play
- Open the app — you’ll see the splash screen, then the login page
- Enter your router’s IP address (e.g.,
192.168.1.1) - Enter the password for the
rootaccount - The username defaults to
root— no need to change it - Enable “Save credential” to store your login for future sessions
- Tap Login
WRTune will automatically detect whether your router uses HTTP or HTTPS, and handle self-signed certificates.
Demo Mode 🔗
To explore WRTune without a physical router, use demo mode:
- IP:
1.1.1.1 - Password:
dummy_test
This activates an offline demo with mock data across all features.
Quick Actions 🔗
After login, the dashboard shows Quick Action buttons for common tasks:
- Wake — Wake-on-LAN for sleeping devices
- Guest WiFi — Set up a time-limited guest network
- Reboot — Restart your router remotely
