Hand the hotel Wi-Fi to your travel router.
Join the Wi-Fi on your iPhone or Mac, tap once, and your router connects to it. Password included.
Or try the Mac app todayIt starts from the network you're on.
No scanning list, no router panel. RouterSync reads the name of your current Wi-Fi and finds its password: from the keychain on Mac, pasted once on iPhone.
It brings you back to the router's Wi-Fi.
If your router can't be reached from the hotel network, RouterSync joins the router's Wi-Fi for you. One system prompt, no settings to dig through.
It hands the network over.
Name and password go to the router over your local network and stay saved: next time it reconnects on its own.
It waits until the router is online.
Then it tells you. If the hotel asks you to sign in, RouterSync notices and opens its page for you.
On your Mac. In your pocket.
The same sign on both, sized for each. The router you're using sits at the top: with Pro you switch routers from there.
Mac, from the menu bar
Reads the password from your keychain and shows the band and signal of the network you're on. With Pro it hands new networks to the router by itself.
iPhone: scan the Wi-Fi QR code
Point it at the card on the hotel desk, or pick a screenshot. The router joins that network and your phone stays where it is. Works with Shortcuts and Siri too.
Back at a place you've been?
Your router keeps every network you hand it. Switch back with one tap: the last 3 for free, all of them with Pro.
Screenshots from the app's demo mode, with a sample network. The app speaks English and Italian.
Your Wi-Fi passwords stay yours.
RouterSync talks to your router, on your local network. It has no server of its own: nothing reaches us.
Kept in your keychainWi-Fi passwords live in the keychain of your iPhone or Mac, next to the ones Apple keeps.
Sent only to your routerOver your local network. They never pass through a server of ours, because there isn't one.
No account, no trackingNo sign-up and no analytics in the app. The router's admin password stays on your device as well.

Switch the router back to any network it knows, with one tap. Free: the last 3 you used.
More routers
Your travel router, the one at home, the one at the office: each with its own saved networks; switch from the name at the top.
Widgets and Control Center
Your router and its network on the Home and Lock Screen; hand over a network or scan a QR code from Control Center.
Hotel sign-in alerts
When the hotel asks you to sign in again, a notification opens its page, and another tells you when the router is back online.
Questions
- Routers
- GL.iNet with firmware 4, such as Beryl AX, Slate AX, Slate 7 and Opal. OpenWrt 23.05 or later with the travelmate package. ASUS Go series in Public Wi-Fi mode, in testing: the router restarts to switch network, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Devices
- iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Mac with macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
- Networks
- Open and password-protected Wi-Fi (WPA, WPA2, WPA3). Not enterprise networks that ask for a username.
Why does the iPhone ask me to paste the password?
iOS never lets apps read saved Wi-Fi passwords. Copy it once from Settings › Wi-Fi › ⓘ › Password, paste it in RouterSync, and it's remembered for that network. If the network has a QR code, scan that instead.
Can I scan the Wi-Fi QR code at the hotel?
Yes, on iPhone, for free. Scan the code on the card at the desk, on a router's label or on a friend's phone sharing their Wi-Fi, or pick a photo or screenshot of it. RouterSync hands that network to your router without joining it on your phone, password included.
Why does it need my location?
Apple treats the name of the Wi-Fi you're on as location data, so iPhone and Mac share it only with apps that have location access. RouterSync uses it to know which network to hand over and doesn't record where you are.
What about hotel sign-in pages?
RouterSync notices when the hotel stops the internet at its sign-in page and opens the page for you: signing in once counts for every device on the router. When the sign-in runs out after some hours, RouterSync Pro tells you and opens the page again.
Why does OpenWrt need travelmate?
travelmate is the OpenWrt package for hotel and hotspot networks. It tries the new network and falls back to the ones it knows, so a wrong password never takes down the router's own Wi-Fi. Install luci-app-travelmate once from System › Software.
Can I use more than one router?
Yes, with Pro: your travel router, the one at home, the one at the office, each with its own saved networks. Switch from the name at the top of the app; the free version keeps one.
Does it replace my router's app?
No. It does what you need on the road: hands the network you're on to the router, switches it back to saved ones, turns its VPN on and off, takes you to the hotel's sign-in page. For the rest it opens the router's panel.
How much does it cost?
Handing over the network you're on is always free, and so is switching back to the last 3 networks you used. Pro costs $1.99 once: what it adds is listed above. On Mac you buy it here and the license key arrives by email; on iPhone it will be an in-app purchase.
