Mid Century Fiber App – What is it? And why is it useful?


The Mid Century fiber app is a very simple, yet intuitive tool for getting your home the ultimate Wi-Fi experience. Having an application at your fingertips that allows you to monitor and make changes easily from the use of your phone or tablet can be extremely beneficial to a homeowner. Not only that, but you can customize your Wireless network in so many ways with the Midcentury Fiber App. You can do several of the following useful things with our new app:

  •   Change network name & password
  •  Prioritize traffic
  •  Set up guest networks
  •  See devices connected when you are away
  •  Set time limits
  •  Parental controls: content restrictions, website, apps, safe search
  •  Get alerted when new devices connect
  •  Virus, intrusions, and web threat notifications
  •  Access to turn on/off internet access for devices/users
  •  View the efficiency of connection on your devices.
  •  Run speed tests




Having an easy way to access your network allows you to get the most usage and best experience out of your wireless network. The Mid Century Fiber app gives you the capability of setting up increased security measures for you and your family as well as access to parental controls to safeguard your children while they are surfing the web. Setting time limits for how long you want your kids to be able to access the internet is beneficial especially for the evening and bedtime. This can also be useful for making sure they are not just playing online games all day.

Additionally, the Mid Century Fiber app gives you the power to make certain websites restricted to different users and devices in your home and block access to them altogether. Another useful feature is getting notifications when a new device connects to your network. Beforehand, you would never really know if someone connected to your Wi-Fi network, but now through the power of this new application, you will get notified when a new device connects. This feature can be useful as it allows you to monitor and deny access to devices you do not want on your network. Viewing usage on your network is also very simple to access and allows you to visually see graphs and charts of your devices and how much data they are using and what it is for.

There are many advanced features within the app that you can modify and adjust to your liking. Changing your network display name and password is extremely simple with the Mid Century app. Setting up guest networks is equally as easy and can provide a safe way of giving internet access to guests and users you don’t necessarily want on your main network. The Mid Century Fiber app also makes prioritizing network traffic very easy for the homeowner by dropping and dragging devices in the listed order. Prioritizing certain devices on your network can be important to ensure that specific applications and subnets are always guaranteed a certain amount of the uplink bandwidth. Lastly, the app also has a built-in speed test feature which will run a bandwidth speed test within the app.
