How Smart WiFi can help your family stay connected, safe, and focused this fall.
The back-to-school season is here, which means new routines, more devices online, and a lot more competition on your home network. The good news? With Smart WiFi powered by the Plume Home app, you have the tools to keep your household connected and balanced all season long. Here are a few quick tips to make this school year smoother:
1. Use Parental Controls for Peace of Mind
Kids need the internet for school, but they also need guidance. With built-in parental controls in the Home app, you can manage what your children access online and keep them safer while they learn and explore.
The Plume Home app parental control features include:
- Filter inappropriate websites
- Block access to certain platforms during study hours
- Set different rules for different devices
It’s a quick way to ensure your students stay focused while giving you peace of mind.
2. Set Device Priority During Homework Time
It is common in our homes to have multiple devices competing for bandwidth: laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and phones. With Smart WiFi, you can set device priority so homework gets the bandwidth it needs: even if the rest of the family is streaming or gaming.
That way, assignments can be uploaded smoothly, video calls don’t drop, and the rest of the household can still enjoy their online activities without interruptions.
3. Create Time Limits and Homework Zones
When it’s time to hit the books, distractions are only a click away. Smart WiFi lets you set time limits for internet use or schedule offline times so that kids can focus without endless notifications pulling them away.
Features like “Time Freeze” or “Focus” can help you create structured study sessions while allowing free time flexibility later in the evening.
4. Build a Safe Internet for Kids
Beyond schoolwork, kids spend plenty of time on social media and entertainment platforms. Smart WiFi makes it easy to encourage safe internet use for kids by monitoring usage and giving parents visibility into which devices are online and when. Thus supporting healthy digital habits that encourage both learning and downtime.
5. Choose the Best WiFi for Families
Every family has unique routines, devices, and needs. The best WiFi for families is one that adapts to you. With Smart WiFi, your network learns from your household’s activity patterns and automatically optimizes itself to deliver more reliable connections everywhere in your home.
That means fewer dead zones, fewer arguments over “who’s hogging the WiFi,” and more harmony as everyone gets what they need from your network.
Back-to-School Success Starts with Smarter WiFi
This fall, set your household up for success with tools that make learning easier, safer, and less stressful. From parental controls to device prioritization, Smart WiFi gives you the power to manage your network in a way that works for your family.
Because while the school year is full of challenges, your internet connection shouldn’t be one of them.
