The Ultra WiFi, Powered by Plume HomePass® system works with your existing Cablenet router or modem setup. You need to connect one of the Plume SuperPods by Ethernet to your Cablenet router or modem to make it work. If your Cablenet modem has Wi-Fi, don’t forget to turn that off as well.

Single router Wi-Fi systems can give you the speed you need as long as you’re close enough to the router or modem.
