The App That Does It All

Let’s be real, nothing kills a vibe faster than buffering. Whether you’re streaming the latest binge-worthy show, hopping on a Zoom call, or trying to beat your bestie in your favourite online game, don't let spotty Wi-Fi get in your way. That’s where CityWest HomeNet swoops in like the internet superhero you didn’t know you needed. 

HomeNet gives you total control of your home network right from your phone. Yep, you read that right. With the HomeNet app (available on the App Store and Google Play), you can see which devices are connected, monitor usage, set up guest Wi-Fi for your friends (because sharing is caring), and even pause the internet when it’s time for dinner or homework, set device priority and more.  

Let’s break down what is included in your HomeNet App!  

 ExperienceIQ is all about managing how people use the internet in your home. You can: 

  • Set time limits on internet use (hello, bedtime!) 

  • Block specific apps or websites (looking at you, TikTok at the dinner table) 

  • Schedule internet access so devices go offline when you say so 

  • Filter content by age group  

  • Prioritize certain devices or activities 

  • Visibility into who’s using what and how much. 

  • Create custom user profiles for each person in your household. Assign devices to each profile, set personalized filters and schedules, and adjust settings without affecting the whole network. 

ProtectIQ is focused on keeping your home network safe from outside threats. This technology is always watching for suspicious activity, and it instantly blocks threats like: 

  • Malware 

  • Viruses

  • Intrusion attempts

  • Phishing and ransomware attacks 

But wait, let's back up one minute. What is ExperienceIQ and ProtectIQ? and how do they connect with HomeNet? (So many names happening!) 

In short, ExperienceIQ and ProtectIQ are advanced features offered that work within the HomeNet app to enhance your home Wi-Fi experience.  

So, if your current Wi-Fi situation is more “ugh” than “awesome,” it might be time to make the switch to CityWest. CityWest HomeNet is all about giving you better control, stronger security, and faster connections…all in one super sleek setup.
