Security

SpiceRouter helps you run a safer network: DNS filtering on the router blocks ad, tracker and cryptomining domains for every device, your networks are kept apart by the router's firewall, and nothing your AI app asks for changes until you approve it — though the router can still make a couple of changes on its own: switching Wi-Fi channels to avoid interference, or moving to backup DNS (with filtering off) if its own filter stops responding.

Home adds the AI Connector, Wi-Fi management and parental controls. Business adds a separate Business network and Guest Wi-Fi for visitors.

Security by default

SpiceRouter is designed around a few practical principles.

You approve what your AI app suggests

Your AI app can suggest a change; only you, signed in to the SpiceRouter app, can approve it. You see exactly what will change before anything happens.

Safer defaults

DNS filtering runs on the router from the start, blocking ad, tracker and cryptomining domains for every device on your network.

Controlled access

Wi-Fi and router passwords are shown only when asked for, and only to the account's owner or an admin.

You decide

SpiceRouter never cuts a device off on its own. When a device is cut off, a person chose it, and letting it back on is just as easy.

The AI Connector stays in its lane

When you connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI chat app to SpiceRouter, it signs in with your SpiceRouter account, and you see exactly what it is asking to do before you allow it. Every change to your network still needs your approval in the SpiceRouter app. Here is what it will never do.

About the AI Connector

Change your network without your approval

Approve its own changes: only you can, signed in to the SpiceRouter app

Run commands of its own: it can only use your router's built-in features

Reach another account's network: it is tied to your SpiceRouter account and your routers

Wi-Fi, DNS, and network protection

What SpiceRouter does on your network, and on which plan.

Filtering covers every device that uses your router for DNS. A device set to use its own DNS server, encrypted DNS or a VPN isn't filtered.

DNS filtering on the router for every device: AdGuard Home blocks ad, tracker and cryptomining domains before they load

A separate network for printers, speakers and smart-home devices, on every router

Each network kept apart by the router's firewall, not merely by name

Wi-Fi names and passwords you can change from the app, on Home and Business

Parental controls with profiles and schedules, on Home and Business

Guest Wi-Fi for visitors, kept apart from your own devices, on Business

A separate Business network on its own VLAN, isolated from your home network, on Business

Access and administration

Who can see and change what.

Plan-based access to features

Wi-Fi and router passwords shown only on request, to the account's owner or an admin

Cutting a device off is always a person's choice, and is just as easy to undo

Your router's own admin password is in your dashboard, so the hardware stays yours

Monitoring and visibility

Your router sends its status, including the list of connected devices, to your SpiceRouter account every minute so the app can show it.

Router uptime and connectivity status

Bandwidth and connected-device activity

How many lookups DNS filtering blocked

Security controls by plan

What each plan adds.

Home

Adds the account side: the AI Connector, Wi-Fi management, and parental controls with profiles and schedules.

Business

Adds a separate Business network isolated from your home network, and Guest Wi-Fi for visitors.
