Glide Home
What is Glide Home?
Glide Home is our personal Wi-Fi password service, sometimes referred to as GPSK. It provides a more secure way for residents to connect without everyone at the property sharing the same network password.
Each resident receives their own unique three-word Wi-Fi password. You can use this password to connect your devices to your own private Home Network, helping to protect your privacy and prevent other residents from joining your connection.
When you connect a device to Glide_Resident using your personal password, the device is linked to your account automatically. You do not normally need to add its MAC address manually.
Is this the correct guide for your property?
Follow this guide if you can see both Glide_Signup and Glide_Resident in your available Wi-Fi networks. If you can only see a network named Glide, use our standard Glide connection guide instead.
How to get online
Step 1 – Connect to Glide_Signup
- Open the Wi-Fi settings on your device and select Glide_Signup.
- Open a web browser. You should be redirected automatically to the Glide welcome screen.
- Under Just moved in?, select Register.
Step 2 – Create your Glide account
- Complete all required account and contact details.
- Select Register to create your account.
Step 3 – Save your personal Wi-Fi password
- When registration is successful, a confirmation screen will display your unique three-word Wi-Fi password.
- Select the copy icon to copy the password, or make a note of it exactly as shown.
- Your personal password will also be sent to you by email and text message for future reference.
Step 4 – Connect to Glide_Resident
- Return to your device’s Wi-Fi settings.
- Forget the Glide_Signup network and make sure your device is not set to reconnect to it automatically.
- Select Glide_Resident from the available networks.
- Paste or enter your personal three-word Wi-Fi password when prompted.
- Once connected, you can get online and start browsing.
Keep your password private: Use the same personal password to connect your own additional devices, but do not share it with visitors. Any device that connects using your password will be associated with your Glide account and Home Network.
Connect another device
On the additional device, select Glide_Resident and enter the same personal three-word Wi-Fi password. You do not need to repeat the registration process or connect the device to Glide_Signup first.
Devices such as games consoles, smart TVs, streaming devices and smart speakers can normally be connected in the same way, provided the device allows you to select a Wi-Fi network and enter a password.
Visitor access
Visitors should use Visitor Access instead of connecting with your personal Wi-Fi password.
- Open the visitor’s Wi-Fi settings and select Glide_Signup.
- Open a browser and wait for the Glide welcome screen to appear.
- Select Visitor Access.
- Enter the visitor’s name and email address, then select Connect.
- Visitor access lasts for 24 hours. The visitor must register again if access is needed after that time.
Having trouble? Check that you are connecting to Glide_Resident rather than Glide_Signup and that the personal password has been entered exactly as shown in your confirmation email or text message.
