About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Keeps logging me out . Can't use the app on two houses have to use two phones for two houses home internet. update. it can be used for multiple homes/routers. but there are privacy violatios in app. it is invasive and sees all unencrypted traffic. why? it seems we must use Chinese routers to get some privacy!

Another update. Not so happy with the app redesign and update - doesn't feel as easy to use, with some functions moved onto sub menus etc. I'm sure i'll get used to it. My big issue at the moment is the inability to easily unblock sites as easily as before. I've followed the help pages (with pictures), but I don't get the on screen pop up to allow me to approve sites the help pages say I should get. This means the only way to unblock is to manually type in web addresses! Frustrating!

Great app, great product, just what I needed. I get full control of children's internet use, I get to schedule when they can be connected, when they have to be disconnected, i get to cut them off whenever I want to, it is very very useful. Additionally, I don't have to share my password with anyone, i can just give temporary auto expiring access to any guests, I am confident, that family are not on any phishing sites or anything like that, absolutely love it, and I use it all the time.
