Private In-Unit Networks
Every resident gets a network of their own.
On a ResidentFi network, each apartment has its own private wireless network. Residents choose their password, their smart TVs and printers see only their own devices, and the same credentials work in the fitness center and on the rooftop. It is the privacy of a home router with the reach of a campus.
The problem with one big network
A single shared password across a building is easy to set up and hard to live with. Neighbors see each other's devices, casting to the wrong television is common, and one compromised password exposes everyone. Residents respond by plugging in their own routers, which interfere with each other and with the building network.
How private unit networks work
ResidentFi assigns each unit its own network identity. A resident's phone, laptop, television, game console, printer, and speakers join that network and can talk to each other, and to nothing else. The access points in the hallway and the clubhouse recognize the same credentials, so a resident walking to the pool stays connected without reconnecting.
Security built in
Every unit network is encrypted and isolated at the network level, not by a setting a resident can change. Guest access, device limits, and password resets are handled through the resident portal or a call to our support team, and a departing resident's access ends on their move-out date.
Why residents notice
Smart home devices, streaming boxes, and work-from-home equipment are now standard in an apartment, and most were designed for a home network. Private unit networks let those devices behave normally, which means fewer support calls, better reviews, and a community that feels current.

Questions
Common questions
Can a resident have a guest password?
Yes. Residents can create temporary guest access from the portal without sharing their main password.
What happens when a resident moves out?
Their network credentials are retired automatically on the move-out date, and the next resident receives new ones at move-in.
