ENHANCED MANAGED WIFI

The Enhanced Managed Wifi service is able to install and run applications for this router providing increased insights into your home network.  The apps available today are ExperienceIQTM and ProtectIQTM.  Enhanced Managed Wifi offers the ability to use these applications to protect your home devices from external threats in this digital age.  Digital engagement is today's normal.  Schools are allowing many students to attend classes from home.  Employers are allowing remote working as opposed to driving into an office at a rapidly increasing rate.  ExperienceIQTM enables Subscribers to leverage digital connectivity and prioritize communications.  This app also enables parents and guardians to minimize the online media distractions.  ExperienceIQTM provides additional flexibility to create guest networks for short-term use and turn-off access quickly.  The following apps provided these features:

  • ExperienceIQTM - "Create balance, prioritize and manage your home Wi-Fi with ExperienceIQTM."  A service that protects children or grandchildren from harmful or inappropriate content, limits screen time on devices or applications, and displays online usage through our enhanced parental control app. It also enables you to prioritize types of traffic or devices on your network.
    • Are you concerned about your children or grandchildren seeing inappropriate content online?
      Provide a safer internet experience based on what YOU feel is appropriate. You can now block entire categories of content (like pornography or violence).
    • Are you concerned about how much time your children are spending on apps like TikTok or Fortnite?
      It is very easy for kids to get lost in these social applications.  Now, you can set time limits to create healthier routines and enforce boundaries.
    • Are you worried about what your kids might accidentally see on YouTube?
      YouTube has great content for your kids, but it also has lots of content you likely don't think is appropriate. YouTube Restriction keeps your kids safer by blocking specific videos AND blocking comments displayed under videos.
    • Do you know how much time your kids are spending on their devices, or on specific applications?
      With usage data get insight into how your children are using technology and create healthy boundaries.
    • Are you tired of battling for bandwidth against your family?
      With more devices connected in our homes every day, conflicts can occur. You can now prioritize application groups (like work apps during the day, and streaming apps in the evening) or devices (like your work laptop) to make sure the most important devices have dedicated bandwidth.
    • Do you work from home?
      Set a priority for your work laptop to make sure you always have the bandwidth you need for video conferences. Are you a gamer? Set a priority when you are gaming to make sure your gaming traffic is prioritized. Are you a streaming family? Give priority to all your streaming traffic so no one gets the spinning wheel of "not enough bandwidth".

      Hackers continue to get more sophisticated finding new ways to gain access and create havoc in our networks. You need a solution that protects ALL of the devices in your network.
    • When was the last time you updated the virus protection for your smart doorbell or thermostat?
      Virus protection solutions (like Norton or McAfee) don't protect everything. They might protect a laptop or desktop, but there is no protection for your smart home devices. You can't install virus protection on a Nest Thermostat or Ring Doorbell.
    • How many times have you ignored the suggested updates for virus protection you might have installed on a computer?
      ProtectIQ updates every single week, automatically protecting you from a growth list of known threats, for every connected device in your home. No manual update requried.
