What is TP-Link HomeCare TM?
TP-Link HomeCare TM powered by Trend Micro TM provides a kit of features to help you create a personalized, secure network that caters for the whole family. Features include Antivirus, Parental Controls and QoS (quality of service).
-
Parental Controls
Whether you want to block inappropriate content, set daily limits for the total time spent online, see which sites your kids are using or pause the internet, you can do it with parental controls, all from the convenience of an app.
-
Quality of Service
Choose devices or activities you want to prioritize on your network with Quality of Service (QoS). In just a few taps, you can make sure your laptop or movie stream is first in line for Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
-
Antivirus
Every device accesses the internet through your router. That includes products that don’t normally have their own protection from cyber threats. HomeCare TM provides comprehensive antivirus protection for your router, keeping all your connected devices safe.
Adaptive Antivirus
Sensitive information like bank details, medical records and passwords must be kept secure at all times. And with the increasing popularity of smart home devices, such as smart locks and IP cameras, effective network security is no longer something that’s optional.
Antivirus powered by Trend Micro TM protects every device on your network. It provides malicious content filtering and intrusion prevention, as well as a quarantine for infected devices. An active database protects every connected device from external threats.
