 Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't covered here, open an issue.


Windows says "Windows protected your PC"


The installer isn't code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.




A second network doesn't make downloads faster


Plexo adds speed only when each network reaches the internet through its own connection. Wi-Fi from your home router plus a phone tethered over USB works. Wi-Fi and Ethernet plugged into the same router doesn't: both share one connection, so the total stays the same.

VPN, virtual, and isolated adapters show up in Plexo too, so check each network's latency and speed there.




A network doesn't appear in Plexo


Plexo can use any connection your operating system shows as a network adapter.

- iPhone on macOS: in System Settings › Network, open iPhone USB and turn off Disable unless needed
- Android on macOS: install TetherKit, as described below
- Phone on Windows: install your phone maker's driver if the phone doesn't appear in Network Settings




Windows uses only one network


If Windows turns Wi-Fi off when Ethernet is plugged in, open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), go to _Computer Configuration_ › _Administrative Templates_ › _Network_ › _Windows Connection Manager_, and set Minimi

What's new

- New: Automatic updates. New versions download in the background and install when you restart. The update button in the bottom bar shows how far along it is. Turn automatic updates off there, or in the Plexo menu on a Mac.
- New: Scheduled downloads. Let downloads run only at set times, like overnight, under Networks → Speed & data limits. Outside those times they wait in the queue. Plexo needs to be running for them to start.
- New: Downloads from your browser. The Plexo extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox hands a download to Plexo with your sign-in, so files behind a login do
