Objective
This article outlines all the details for WiFi Statuses including the newly added Throttled feature after WiFi Hotspot Revamp
Answer
Motive has made updates to wifi hotspot including moving to true wifi measurement, reduced allotment, blacklisting, and throttling rather than shutting off.
After the update:
- Reduced Allotment: Lowering the allotment so that each device only gets 500 mb plus any additional wifi purchased.
- Blacklisting: Preventing users from using streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Audible.
- Throttling: Slowing wifi usage once the device hits its threshold rather than shutting them off.
Rather than shutting off users when they hit their Wifi limit, Motive will instead throttle their speeds so that they can keep using apps, but at a slower speed.
This will ensure that they can keep using the Motive Driver App and will help curb abuse.
What is changing after the WiFi Hotspot update?
WiFi Usage Summary: fleet Users can see the following statuses for their vehicles in the Wifi Usage Summary:
