Apps to pause WiFi on connected devices?

Portoman — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 20:44:48 GMT

I'm looking for an app to pause or stop the WiFi on devices that are connected to it. I've been told that other ISPs have apps that can be downloaded, but does Plusnet?

I did use to use Fing but you now have to pay to use the app, if you want to pause devices (I'm not paying each month for that). So are there others? Thanks

@Portoman Plusnet do not have such an app, and I am not aware of any ISP that does. However, there is an 'access control' option on the Plusnet Hub which will do what you want - I think - but as I don't have a PN Hub, and have never used the option, I can't advise on setting it up, or its functions.

@MisterW / @Dan_the_Van ?

Thanks for bringing this up. I had a similar issue trying to manage connected devices at home. As @jab1 mentioned, the Hub's access control option is useful. For tracking activity on connected devices, I also found this app handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftlog.app.sportaz&gl=de&hl=de — it helps monitor usage patterns when you want to see which devices are most active. Hope it helps!
