Configure a router in Home on iPhone

You can use the Home app to make your smart home more secure by allowing a compatible router to control which services your HomeKit accessories can communicate with on your home Wi-Fi network and on the internet. HomeKit-enabled routers require that you have a HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad set up as a home hub. See the Home Accessories website for a list of compatible routers.

To configure the router’s settings, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the router with the manufacturer’s app on an iOS device.

  2. Open the Home app , then tap the Homes and Home Settings button.

  3. Tap Home Settings, then tap Wi-Fi Network & Routers.

  4. Tap an accessory, then choose one of these settings:

    • No Restriction: The router allows the accessory to connect to any internet service or local device.

      This provides the lowest level of security.

    • Automatic: The router allows the accessory to connect to an automatically updated list of manufacturer approved internet services and local devices.

    • Restrict to Home: The router only allows the accessory to connect to your home hub.

      This option may prevent firmware updates or other services.
