Wired internet is the fastest, but you can get up to multi-gig speed over Wi-Fi with GFiber. Speeds vary based on the devices you use, distance from your router or extender, and product you have.7
What you get with GFiber Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi 6E and 7 both feature
Network control in the palm of your hand
Manage your network and account, all in an easy-to-use app.
Router flexibility
Have a router you already love? You can use it with any GFiber product.
A network for guests
Give visitors their own, separate Wi-Fi network and password, not yours. It’s like a guest room for your Wi-Fi.
WPA3 security option
Want the latest in network encryption? Turn it on at any time.
Get the best speeds on your devices
Just like Wi-Fi routers, your connected devices were built on a Wi-Fi standard, which impacts the speeds you’ll receive.
Want to get the most out of your connected tech? Here’s a chart to help check your device capabilities.
What’s next for Wi-Fi?
You’re asking the right question. In fact, it’s the same question we ask ourselves at GFiber all the time. While we’re jam-packed with the latest in Wi-Fi technology now, we’re leading the industry in engineering the future of internet tech.That means we’re always looking ahead to what the next generation of Wi-Fi will be— and what could be.
FAQs
Wi-Fi 7 is a breakthrough in wireless technology that changes how your home handles the internet. While it includes the advances of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, Wi-Fi 7 takes a giant leap beyond them. While older Wi-Fi versions can only talk to your devices using one band at a time, Wi-Fi 7 uses multiple bands simultaneously. This smarter traffic management creates a connection so stable that, for the first time, you can get multi-gig wireless performance across your home — with speeds up to 3.4 gigabit over wireless.Because standard-issue routers can’t always handle the true power of our network, we had our Wi-Fi 7 hardware custom-built to go above and beyond. It’s packed with professional-grade features, including a 10 Gig port and three multi-gig ports, to ensure your wireless signal keeps up with the massive speed of our Home 3 Gig and Edge 8 Gig products.Wi-Fi 6E takes the solid foundation of Wi-Fi 6 and "extends" it — hence the "E." It opens up a third 6 GHz band, giving your newer devices a dedicated, clear space to connect. This moves your data away from the signal noise of older gadgets and your neighbors’ routers, ensuring your everyday connection stays smooth and steady. Refer to the chart below for a quick look at the differences between all of the frequency bands.Wi-Fi Technologies
| Wi-Fi 5 | • Uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands• Up to 500 Mbps on a modern smartphone |
| Wi-Fi 6 | • Uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands• Up to 800 Mbps on a modern smartphone• Up to 50% faster than Wi-Fi 5• Supports more devices at a greater distance than previous generations |
| Wi-Fi 6E | • Introduced a third frequency band for Wi-Fi in the 6GHz range• Has the least congestion compared to Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6• More than 1 Gbps on a Wi-Fi 6E smartphone• Supports more devices across peak times than previous generations |
| Wi-Fi 7 | • Multi-gig wireless speeds• Optimized use of bandwidth reduces delays for real-time responsiveness.• Wider channels allow for much more data traffic across multiple compatible devices at max speeds |
Wi-Fi uses radio waves to send and receive signals from your wireless router. These radio waves connect your devices to the internet. Wi-Fi transmits at frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz — and now, with Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, 6 GHz. Generally, the higher the frequency, the faster the data transmission. You can learn more about Wi-Fi bands here.
Wired internet is generally faster, allowing you to get the highest speeds available, but it’s not always possible or practical to plug in many devices (think of how many cables you would need!). And, some devices may not be capable of going as fast as your internet can, even if you could plug them in.Keep in mind, our upload and download speed claims are always based on maximum wired speeds. Internet speeds are not guaranteed and may vary based on factors such as hardware and software limitations, latency, packet loss, etc.
A wireless router is what lets your wireless devices connect to the internet. With a traditional router, all wireless traffic on your devices rely on that single point of access (the router) — instead of the multiple points you’d get with a mesh network. The reach of a traditional router is limited by the size of the antennas, and walls can often get in the way of the signal. You can use an extender to give you more “reach,” but it may not always cover some corners of your home.
You can connect to the internet either wired or wirelessly. A wired connection requires an ethernet cord to connect your device directly to the internet. A wired connection will generally allow you to get the maximum speed available at your home, which means it will usually be faster.Wi-Fi (or a wireless connection) allows you to connect Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the internet without cables. Instead, you use a wireless router. Wi-Fi can sometimes have interferences that may slow down the speed of your connection.
A mesh network uses multiple access points (extenders) that communicate with each other to give your whole home seamless Wi-Fi coverage. A mesh network provides you with further reach than you’d get with a single traditional router. Every gigabit and multi-gigabit GFiber plan comes with mesh Wi-Fi.
