More Protection for the Internet You Use Every Day

#

Today’s homes are more connected than ever. From smart TVs and gaming systems to security cameras and thermostats, many devices rely on your home Wi‑Fi every day. While these technologies bring convenience, they also increase the need for strong, reliable network security.

Many smart devices have limited built-in protections, which can leave them vulnerable to malicious websites, viruses, and other cyber threats. That is why protecting your entire home network, not just individual devices, is more important than ever.

ProtectIQ® is a powerful network-level security solution that works quietly in the background to help keep your connected devices safe. By monitoring Internet traffic in real time and comparing it to a continuously updated cloud database of known threats, ProtectIQ® can block malicious websites, viruses, ransomware, and intrusion attempts before they reach devices on your network. Because threat data is updated regularly, you are protected against newly emerging risks without needing to install software or manage complicated settings.

Great News for Our Members

We are excited to share that ProtectIQ® is now included at no additional cost for members who subscribe to our Explorer package (100Mbps/100Mbps) or higher, and have a GigaSpire router with Blast Wi‑Fi.

If you meet these requirements, ProtectIQ® will be available automatically, providing 24/7 protection for all the devices connected to your home network.

Not currently on an Explorer package or higher with Blast Wi‑Fi? Upgrading your Internet plan or adding Blast Wi‑Fi is a simple way to take advantage of this added security. We can help you explore upgrade options and ensure you have the equipment needed to get the most from your home Wi‑Fi.
