Configure a router in Home on iPod touch

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 .
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.
