Rio Router puts your whole home network in one simple app. See what is connected, keep it safe, and set it up the way your home actually works.
Version 2.0 is a ground-up redesign: cleaner, faster, and easier to use.
Your network at a glance
See your connection status, connected devices, and network health the moment you open the app.
Simple device management
See every device that joins your network, approve the ones you trust, and block anything you do not recognize, all in a tap.
Organize by room
Group devices into rooms so a problem with one device cannot reach the others. Each room gets its own controls: VPN, content filtering for kids, and schedules.
Built-in VPN
Turn on a private, encrypted connection for a room with a single switch.
Name your Wi-Fi networks
Give your family, guest, and work networks names that feel like yours.
Parental controls and guest access
Set schedules and filtering for kids, and share Wi-Fi with guests using a simple code instead of a password.
Rio is designed to make a secure home network something anyone can manage, not just experts.
Note: Rio Router works with Rio router hardware on your home network.
The app works great! If your phone is in lockdown mode however it will not connect to the router which is why I suspect some network engineers are struggling to connect to the router. I fortunately have 2 phones and while one phone gave me issues my second phone connected with no problems.

Thank you, and thanks for the great tip about Lockdown Mode. It will help other owners too. If you ever need a hand, email support@riorouter.com. Alex, Rio Router
Router needed a firmware update
Password Flaw
This app used to work fine but now every time I try to login I get a null error. Contacted support and they walked me through the firmware update on the router. Great customer service.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words! We're glad support got you back up and running. If you ever need a hand again, email support@riorouter.com. Alex, Rio Router
Worst Router software
Terrible router app
After hours of finally trying to connect one router to another as is advertised to work the second router refuses to login. I am a communications equipment engineer, and I can’t get this working. This app is extremely slow and clunky, and it doesn’t even update the status automatically. You have to keep refreshing to see if new devices were connected. Extremely frustrating.
Developer Response
Thank you for the detailed feedback, and sorry for the frustration. We've rebuilt the app since then, and it now refreshes your devices on its own. Adding a second Rio takes a couple of extra steps. Email support@riorouter.com and a real person will walk you through them. Alex, Rio Router
Awesome product and app
Aneta A
Great app. This made my Rio simple to set up… the previous reviewer probably didn’t follow the instructions on the screen 😵💫 Dashboard is nice, responsive, and works as described. Love the VPN.
Developer Response
Thank you! We're so glad setup was simple and that you're enjoying Rio VPN. If you ever need anything, email support@riorouter.com. Alex, Rio Router
Rio now rotates on iPad.
• Turn your iPad sideways and Rio turns with it.
• On iPad the app stays a comfortable width, centred on the screen.
• Small fixes behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.
