Your Home’s Wi-Fi. Your Rules.
The PauldingPutnamIQ app puts you in complete control of your home or business internet — from any device, anywhere.
Included free with your Paulding Putnam fiber internet service. No extra equipment. No extra fees.
We built the PauldingPutnamIQ app because fast internet is only half the job. The other half is making sure your network works the way your household or business actually needs it to — safe, organized, and under your control.
Think of it as the remote control for your Wi-Fi. Set it up in minutes, manage it from your phone, and let us handle the rest.

Why It’s Different
Internet You Control. Service You Can Trust.
Most internet providers hand you a router and walk away. We give you a full set of tools to manage your network — and real local support when you need it.
- It’s free. Included with every Paulding Putnam fiber internet package. No monthly add-on fees.
- It’s local. Built into the same service backed by your co-op — member-owned since 1935.
- It’s always current. Cybersecurity updates happen automatically every day, so you’re protected without lifting a finger.
- It works for everyone. Whether you’re a parent managing screen time, a farmer running smart equipment, a remote worker on video calls, or a small business keeping customers off your private network — the app fits how you actually live and work.
