#Notice With the release of the 05011603.00.009 firmware, the problem has been fixed by the manufacturer. This program is not needed anymore but it will remain on GitHub for documentary purposes.

##General This Java program is intended to "fix" Speedport W724V Typ A's misrouting of packets to destinations in the 169.0.0.0 subnet. Due to wrong settings by the manufacturer, any packet gets routed to the router itself, and thus does not reach its intended endpoint. A common symptom of that behaviour is that WhatsApp media files (images, audio, ...) can not be sent nor received over WiFi. To "fix" that, this program logs into the router and deletes the incorrect route. This however only persists until the next reboot of your router. Then you have to run this program again.

###Usage Just start the jar file.
