People profiles allow you to conveniently monitor and manage WiFi access for each person on the network.
During the initial setup, a profile is created automatically using the information provided during account creation. Additional people profiles allow you quickly set Content Access, Guard settings, and schedule internet freezes or set a Time out to all devices assigned to a person. You can also share access to the HomePass app with the additional people added to the network.
Devices that are not assigned to an individual person remain under the At home profile.
