Get the most advanced wireless technology available at no additional cost.
[H3] Wi-Fi 7: GFiber’s best Wi-Fi. Ever.
GFiber’s custom made Wi-Fi 7 router delivers  wider data channels, multi-gig ports, and smarter traffic flow, so you get more devices connected at faster speeds than ever before.3
[H3] Multi-gig connection without the wires
With Wi-Fi 7, Multi-Link Operation creates smarter connections so you get speeds up to 3 gigabits per second on multiple devices, even over Wi-Fi.
[H3] Corner-to-corner coverage
GFiber internet includes up to 2 mesh extenders that expand the range of your Wi-Fi coverage for a strong, steady connection in every corner of your home.5Learn more about our Wi-FiHow fast are you going?Take a speed test to see how strong the connection is in your home (and if you don’t already have GFiber, see how it compares to our speeds).FAQsExpand all
[H3] How fast is GFiber internet?
With our 1 Gig product, you’ll get upload and download speeds up to 1 gigabit per second, or 1000 Mbps. With our 3 Gig product, you’ll get download and upload speeds up to 3 gigabits per second, or 3000 Mbps. And, as you might have guessed, 8 Gig offers symmetrical 8 gigabit speeds. Latency is typically 13 milliseconds. Depending on your product and devices, Wi-Fi is up to multigig speed even over wireless.
[H3] How much does a GFiber plan cost?6
Google Fiber Core 1 Gig is $70/month. Home 3 Gig costs $100/month. Edge 8 Gig costs $150/month. Every plan includes installation, Wi-Fi, a mesh-ready router, unlimited data – all without extra fees. You can add home phone service for an additional $10/month.
[H3] What’s the difference between GFiber’s previous plans and these three new products: Core, Home and Edge?
If you’re an existing customer, you may be on one of our previous plans: 1 Gig, 2 Gig, 5 Gig, or 8 Gig. But those plans speak only to the speed, and not to how the internet fits into your real, everyday life. The way you use internet is unique to your lifestyle and quickly evolving — which means we need to evolve how we offer internet. Our new products are a result of that evolution.Based on lifestyles, our three new products take into account how you actually use internet. These products are called Core 1 Gig, Home 3 Gig, and Edge 8 Gig. It’s the same GFiber service you know and love. However, we’ve embedded new features to tailor and elevate your internet to your unique experience. They include foundational elements like the GFiber App and a Whole Home Wifi experience, with added value features like Priority Room Optimization, Internet Battery Backup, and an Uptime Guarantee. For a full list of features and offerings in each product, you can learn more here:  https://gfiber.com/support/en/answer/1962/
[H3] What’s Wi-Fi 6E? What’s Wi-Fi 7?
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 TechnologiesWi-Fi 5• Uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands• Up to 500 Mbps on a modern smartphoneWi-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 generationsWi-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 generationsWi-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

[H3] "We no longer think about our internet."
“When we switched, the setup was extremely easy. When I called support, my questions were answered quickly and correctly. The biggest compliment I can give is that we no longer think about our internet, because it is no longer prone to slowdowns or outages. My goal is to keep our customers as happy as we are with GFiber.”

Test your speedsCheck your current internet speed to see if you need a faster plan for your business.FAQs Expand all
[H3] What is Wifi 6?
Wi-Fi 6 is a new Wi-Fi standard, with many Wi-Fi 6-ready devices already available in the market. Wi-Fi 6 allows for 30% faster speeds on Wi-Fi 6-enabled devices (such as phones, laptops, and tablets), and for more devices on a single network without slowing down Wi-Fi speeds. Wi-Fi 6 also improves battery life and provides greater security with WPA3.
[H3] What is a static IP Address?
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number assigned to each computer on a network. Just as a street address determines where a letter should be delivered, an IP address identifies computers on the Internet. If your computer is hosting a web server, its IP address is what identifies it to the rest of the internet.A computer on the internet can have a static IP address, which means it stays the same over time, or a dynamic IP address, which means the address can change over time.If you sign up for multiple static IPs with your Google Fiber service, you must use your own router.
[H3] When might I need a static IP address?
The vast majority of internet features work without static IPs, including web browsing, email sending and receiving, video streaming, and voice over IP (VoIP). However, you might need static IPs if one or more of these scenarios applies to you: - You maintain your own web server or other internet server, such as an email server, that requires users to connect from the internet. - You have external devices or services that must connect to your network via IP address (for example, 74.125.224.72) rather than by name (for example, google.com). - You use a VPN or other service to remotely connect to computers in your business.In many cases, you can host a server on an internet connection without static IPs by using Dynamic DNS. With Dynamic DNS, when your IP address changes, your DNS entry is automatically updated with your new IP address. The Google Fiber Network Box includes support for Dynamic DNS, which you can configure for your network.If you aren't sure whether you need static IPs, consult with your IT expert. You can add or remove static IPs from your account, even after your service starts.
[H3] What speed is right for my business?
We believe today’s businesses deserve gigabit speeds. While our Business 1 Gig plan will likely meet the needs of most businesses, businesses who do substantial downloading, uploading, or have a high number of users (50+) may find our Business 2 Gig plan to be a better option. Business 2 Gig also includes a single static IP assignment and up two Wi-Fi mesh extenders, which can add Wi-Fi coverage for larger offices.
[H3] Can I use my own router? (existing)
Yes. If you’re using your own router, please make sure that it fits these recommended specifications. Please note that the Google Fiber support team will not be able to support routers manufactured by third parties.If you choose to add multiple static IPs to your service, you must use your own router. If you choose to add 1 or no static IPs, you can choose to use your own router, but it is not necessary. Your plan already includes a Google Fiber Network Box that can serve as your router. For more information, please visit our Help Center.
[H3] Why should my business use fiber optic cable?
Our fiber optic internet gives you a strong, steady, 99.9% reliable connection with fewer points of failure than cable internet. Fiber optic is more reliable than cable since it is more resistant to electromagnetic, corrosive, and lightning-related damage, and it is less likely to go down during a power outage.
[H3] Do all Google Fiber Business customers get Wi-Fi?
By default, all Google Fiber Business plans include a Wi-Fi 6 router. This router can provide Wi-Fi coverage for up to 2,000 square feet, though exact coverage can be impacted by many variables. Customers with specific Wi-Fi or networking needs are also able to use their own Wi-Fi router.
[H3] Will my current VoIP be supported with Google Fiber?
Fiber optic networks typically offer lower latency than copper networks. Lower latency generally means smoother VoIP and video calls. Add on our high upload and download speeds and Google Fiber Business is a good match for most VoIP services. We recommend consulting your VoIP provider to ensure any internet service requirements are being met.

FAQsExpand all
[H3] What’s Wi-Fi 6E? What’s Wi-Fi 7?
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 TechnologiesWi-Fi 5• Uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands• Up to 500 Mbps on a modern smartphoneWi-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 generationsWi-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 generationsWi-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
[H3] How does Wi-Fi work?
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.
[H3] Is wireless or wired internet faster?
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.
[H3] What’s a wireless router?
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.
[H3] What’s the difference between Wi-Fi and a wired connection?
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.
[H3] What’s a mesh network?
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.
