Mid Century Fiber App Tour

 Do you take full advantage of all the things your Mid Century Fiber App can do? Here is a short rundown going over all the features it offers, and as always if you need help with anything streaming or smart home related you can contact us at 309-778-8611 or by emailing us at OneSource@midcentury.com


Did a family member gift you a smart home device that requires a 2.4Ghz network? Have you forgotten your wireless password, or have company over and want to create a guest network? "My Network" has got you covered, simply select "My Network" and all these options and more are available to you. 

The Mid Century Fiber app notifies you whenever a new device connects to your home network, but maybe you want some more information than that. "Things" allows you to not only see what devices are connected but see how much data usage individual devices have used, pause the internet, and see their IP address. 
"People" allows you to create profiles for people in your home, as a parent of three I have found this particularly useful for when our kids have homework assignments. It allows me to assign my children's electronics to their profile and be able to pause or limit the Wi-Fi for each individual that may be finding social media or video games too distracting. 
"Places" like "People" gives you the ability to create profiles but based on the location of the device, and not to an individual.
