Settings
A world of customisation is available to you.
Customise
With the advanced features in My Lit Fibre, you can tailor your internet to fit your life.
People
Connect your Things (devices) with people in your home network. This allows you to set time limits and so much more.
Places
Places are a great way to tailor your WiFi to devices connecting to a specific area in your home like an office, living room or kids room. This allows you to optimise your WiFi performance by being able to pause Internet access to devices in locations that don’t need to be on.
Things
You can easily find your network details here to connect a new device to your WiFi.
Network
Add a guest network at any time to keep your main WiFi network and data safe while you have guests over. You can set a duration and even text the WiFi network name and password to your visitors.
Lit WiFi
Extend the reach of your WiFi network by connecting a Lit WiFi unit. Please contact Customer Support for more information.
Time Limits
To create a time limit profile:
- From the home screen, select the ‘People’ tab to create a new profile
- Enter the name for the profile in the box and select the devices you would like to add to this profile
- Select ‘Done’ (at the top of the screen)
Once the profile is created you can do the following:
- Tap ‘Edit’ in the profile and add a picture if desired.
- Swipe the Internet Access toggle off to pause all devices connected to this profile.
- Set time limit schedules to turn Internet access off for all devices in a profile during specific times and days.

- Tap ‘Edit’ and ‘Add’ to add more devices to this profile.
- Tap the red minus icon to remove devices from this profile.
Note: If a device has the My Lit Fibre App, do not add it to a profile, as you may inadvertently cut off your access to these controls. If this happens, switch to mobile data to restart the profile with your app device.
Guest Network
Creating a guest network has never been easier! When you tap the ‘My Network’ section from the top of the main menu you will have the option to create a guest network by selecting Networks.
In the ‘Add Network’ screen, follow these simple steps:
- Set the name of the wireless guest network as you want it to appear for your guests.
- In the drop down box, you can choose to set a password for this guest network, which is highly recommended to keep your network safe.
- This will bring up additional boxes for you to set and confirm your password.
- If you set this network to Endless, it will stay available.
- The alternative is to set a Start and End time for this guest login.
- Once you have set the parameters for your guest network, select ‘Done’ at the top of the screen.
- Press ‘Done’ to complete setup. You can share your new network with your guests via text, email or other messaging services.
- To edit your guest network, select ‘My Network’ from the home screen. Select ‘Networks’ and the network you wish to edit or delete.
