Internet and Wi-Fi speeds on GFiberFirst things first: You can get the fastest possible internet speeds with a wired ethernet connection. But the reality is that most of the time, you’ll likely be connected to the internet wirelessly (otherwise known as being connected to a Wi-Fi network). When you’re connected to Wi-Fi, your speeds depend on a variety of factors, including the GFiber equipment you have, the internet plan you’re on, the distance you are from your router and the Wi-Fi standard of your connected device.
Expected Wi-Fi speeds per Wi-Fi standard
The following chart describes the approximate download speeds you’re likely to get on a variety of Wi-Fi devices under optimal conditions,* assuming you’re on our 1 Gig plan or higher.
| Wi-Fi Standard | Wi-Fi Speed |
| Wi-Fi 4 | Up to 200 Mbps |
| Wi-Fi 5 | Up to 500 Mbps |
| Wi-Fi 6 | Up to 800 Mbps |
| Wi-Fi 6E | ** Up to 1.6 Gbps |
* With line of sight to the router, without interference and with a compatible Wi-Fi 6E device.
** Applicable to 2 gig plans or higher. Check plan availability at your address.
Device Guide
As we noted above, your Wi-Fi speeds can vary by the type of device you’re using. Think of it this way: While the speed limit on the highway (your internet plan + router’s Wi-Fi standard) may be 70 MPH, if your car (your device) can only go 50 MPH, you won’t be able to reach maximum speed. To understand your specific connected tech device’s Wi-Fi speed capabilities, we created the Device Guide***. This guide provides a list of top devices and the Wi-Fi technology they’re equipped with. Simply click on the drop-down menus to find information about your device.
