5 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do With Your MTC Connect Wi-Fi App

Your home Wi-Fi does a lot of work every day. From streaming your favorite shows to connecting phones, tablets, computers, gaming systems and smart devices, there’s probably more happening on your network than you realize.

That’s where the MTC Connect Wi-Fi App comes in. Powered by Calix CommandIQ®, the app puts more control over your home Wi-Fi right in the palm of your hand. Calix designed CommandIQ to give internet subscribers an easy way to view and manage their home network from a mobile device.

Here are five things you might not know you can do with your MTC Wi-Fi App.

1. See What’s Connected to Your Wi-Fi

Ever wonder just how many devices are using your Wi-Fi?

The app allows you to view the devices connected to your home network. That could include your phones, TVs, tablets, laptops, smart speakers and other connected devices. Calix also allows devices to be organized to make managing a busy connected home easier.

2. Create a Guest Wi-Fi Network

Having friends or family over? You don’t necessarily have to give everyone access to your main Wi-Fi network.

CommandIQ allows users to create a separate guest network for visitors. It’s an easy way to provide Wi-Fi access while keeping your primary home network separate.

3. Run a Speed Test

Wondering how your connection is performing? You can check it right from the app.

CommandIQ includes bandwidth testing that can display information such as download speed, upload speed and latency. It’s a convenient first step when you want to check how your connection is performing.

4. Change Your Wi-Fi Name or Password

We've all been there — someone asks for the Wi-Fi password and you can barely remember it yourself.

With the app, you can manage your Wi-Fi network name and password without having to dig through complicated router settings. Calix specifically includes changing the SSID (your Wi-Fi network name) and password among CommandIQ's self-service features.

5. Take More Control of Your Household’s Internet

Depending on the services enabled on your MTC account, CommandIQ can offer additional tools for managing how your household uses the internet. Calix's ExperienceIQ®, for example, provides features such as parental controls, content filtering, screen-time management and controls for individual users and devices.

Your Wi-Fi, Made Simpler

You don't have to be a tech expert to have more control over your home network. The MTC Wi-Fi App makes everyday Wi-Fi management easier and puts useful tools right on your phone.
