  • Plume Adaptive WiFi™: Using artificial intelligence, Plume’s Adaptive WiFi™ uses data from the local area network to optimize the location for maximum capacity and throughput to provide a better quality of service for consumer services utilizing the Wi-Fi network. Adaptive WiFi™ automatically identifies devices on the network, uses device information and limitations, running applications, time of day, interference, Wi-Fi bands, channels and other local area network data to provide a better Wi-Fi experience at the location.
  • Parental and Access Controls: Features that enable parents to monitor and control website access and protect kids online, including features to freeze internet instantly or on a schedule. Guest and device access can be controlled and managed via custom passwords.
