The Plume Home app brings together WiFi intelligence, security and easy management of your network and household to enhance your connectivity experience. Unlike other mesh WiFi systems, Plume automatically fine-tunes your network for peak performance—blocking interference, allocating bandwidth appropriately to all your connected devices, and prioritizing speed to live apps like video conferencing and streaming. All managed through a single mobile app. - Simple setup In a matter of minutes you will be able to add all your connected devices and ensure extenders are properly placed around the home for optimal coverage. - Profiles and groups Create user profiles for each member of the household to assign devices to them or even assign devices to groups like ‘light bulbs’ or ‘living room’ to easily manage them. Use profiles and device groups to set security policies, schedule Focus time, apply internet Timeouts, and optimize bandwidth with Traffic Boosts—giving you better control over online time and network performance. - Traffic Boost Prioritize your network how you want to. Choose to make sure specific applications, profiles, devices, or whole app categories are first in line for bandwidth. Feel confident that your video meeting, live TV stream, or gaming session has what it needs. Want Plume to handle it? Plume Home’s default Automatic Mode will prioritize any live traffic that needs it. - Home security Protect your devices from cyber threats like malware and phishing. No one home? Prioritize the network for security devices and applications like smart locks and cameras, and get instant alerts for any unusual activity. Use Motion to detect any movement when the home should be empty. - Parental controls Set predefined access profiles for kids, teens, or adults to automatically filter restricted content. Schedule Focus time to pause connectivity for specific profiles, devices, app categories, or the entire network. Need a quick break? Instantly restrict internet access from the home dashboard with a Timeout. Want to see where your bandwidth is going? See detailed usage graphs for all profiles and devices down to individual apps.
