Plume Home
Home all-access
Give full home Wi-Fi access to people you trust. This will allow their devices to interact with all other connected devices in your home.
Limited Guest Access
Create custom passwords for each guest and then choose which connected devices—like printers, TVs, security cameras, or thermostats—they can access to make them feel instantly at home.
Internet-Only Access
Devices with Internet-only Wi-Fi passwords will only be connected to the Internet and not any of the connected devices in your home.
Parental Controls
Make the internet a safer place by managing the type of content that each device or profile can access. Additionally, approve or block specific websites per device or profile to keep your family safe.
Internet Freeze
Going offline is sometimes a good habit! Schedule an Internet freeze, give a time-out to a specific device or person, and monitor their internet usage levels.
Download Plume Home for your device.
AI Security™
Online Protection
Plume filters out suspicious content as your devices connect to the Internet, providing you with real-time threat protection against crypto-mining, ransomware, malware, viruses, botnets, phishing attacks, and more.
Advanced IoT (Internet of Things) Protection
Plume identifies all your connected devices and continuously monitors them for suspicious activity. If a device is compromised, Plume quarantines the device, preventing the threat from spreading to the rest of your connected devices.
Adblocking
Plume blocks the ad content coming from known ad servers, significantly improving your browsing experience.
Plume Motion™
Whole-Home Awareness
Now your wireless devices work together to detect movement in your home, just by measuring Wi-Fi signals – and they alert you via the Plume app. Which means peace of mind, privacy, and no need to buy new equipment.
People at Home
The moment there is movement in your home, you’ll be alerted. So you’ll know if it’s family you’re expecting or something you’re not.
Smart Activation
No need to turn the system on or off manually, because it uses your connected device’s GPS to establish your location – so it always knows if you’re at home.
Historical Motion
See the movement patterns in your home over the last seven days, in simple, clear data visualizations available in the app.
Pet Mode
If you have pets, you don’t want them causing false alarms. So you can customize the system to ignore the movement of animals below any size you select.
Extend Your Coverage
SuperPod™
Add more Pods for wider coverage depending on your home or business size.
SuperPods feature tri-band Wi-Fi radios and dual ethernet ports.
Plume offers more than most other mesh Wi-Fi systems with Plume Motion, AI Security, and HomePass.
Plume Adaptive WiFi™
Never a dull moment
Walk room-to-room on a FaceTime call, stream your favorite 4K content, or download a large work file – all at the same time. Using breakthrough cloud-based technology powered by AI, Plume provides you with full-strength, uninterrupted connectivity where and when you need it.
Getting smarter all the time
Unlike other mesh network systems, Plume continuously learns about your Internet needs and performs advanced self-optimizations, allocating capacity to devices that need it most. And it gets better each day!
What is a Mesh System? It’s similar to how cell service works, except inside your network. You can move from pod to pod without dropping your connection.
