With ALLOIQ, you can easily set up separate Wi-Fi networks in addition to your main home network. Whether you have weekend guests, want a secure connection for working from home, or need a dedicated network for smart home devices, you can set it up in just a few taps.
Types of Networks You Can Create
- Guest Network: Perfect for visitors. It lets friends and family get online without giving them access to your private home devices (like printers, smart TVs, or security cameras). You can keep it on permanently or set it to automatically expire when your guests leave.
- Work From Home (WFH) Network: Designed for your work laptop and office gear. It automatically isolates your work devices for extra security and prioritizes work traffic so your video meetings and calls run smoothly.
- Custom Network: Ideal for smart home gadgets (IoT) or older electronics that work best on specific Wi-Fi bands (like 2.4 GHz).
