How do I know if my Google Fiber jack is working? ›

If your Fiber Jack's LED light is solid blue, or if the Power and Optical lights are solid green, it's online. If you're still having issues, you can continue on to troubleshoot your router.

With Google Fiber, you'll get fast download speeds – up to 1000 megabits per second with 1 Gig, up to 2000 with 2 Gig. So you can download 100 GB games in minutes, not hours.

To get the fastest speeds, your Mesh Extender should be halfway between your router and the furthest location where Wi-Fi coverage is needed. If it's placed farther away, any devices connected to the Mesh Extender may experience slower Wi-Fi speeds (even though your device may be showing a strong Wi-Fi connection).

Certain plan changes require new equipment. If the new plan you want to switch to requires that you switch to a different type of router, for example, you'll need to contact customer service for an installation appointment or so we can ship you a self-install kit.

Your internet can be slow for many reasons. Your internet plan may be too slow for your needs, your modem or router may be out of date, your router may be on the fritz, or you might have too many people using your Wi-Fi at the same time.

No, 5G home internet is not faster than fiber. Fiber can reach speeds up to 5,000Mbps, while 5G home internet can reach max speeds of 300–1,000Mbps (depending on the provider and plan).

Google Fiber's new 8Gbps plan certainly makes it one of the fastest internet providers, although not the absolute fastest you may find. Ziply Fiber recently introduced a ridiculously fast 50Gbps plan, and smaller, local providers may offer 10Gbps or faster in select areas.

Internet speeds less than 25 Mbps are deemed too slow to qualify as broadband or reliable home Wi-Fi. Such speeds can result in buffering during video streaming, difficulties connecting multiple devices, and overall internet connectivity issues.

Once the router and Mesh Extender have paired successfully, the Mesh Extender status light will turn solid green or yellow. If you're using the Google Fiber app, press “Continue.” The app will let you know when your Mesh Extender connection is successful.

Why is my fiber optic Wi-Fi so slow? ›

When this happens, there are usually four reasons why; bandwidth contention, signal interference, incompatible WiFi routers or slow devices. Of these possible reasons for slow internet speeds, only the first one is directly related to fibre optic cables.

Some bills have a prorated first month

For most customers, your first bill will be higher than your following monthly bills. If you signed up for GFiber after the start of the current month's billing cycle, your first bill will include those remaining days of the month (prorated period) plus your full month of service.

In October 2016, all expansion plans were put on hold and some jobs were cut. Google Fiber will continue to provide service in the cities where it is already installed.

No, but you will get a refund for any days you aren't a customer. Even if you canceled on the 1st of the month, your final bill will account for the whole last month. However, you will be credited for any unused service after you complete all the steps to cancel: Your account has been canceled.

The easiest way to test your coax cable outlet signal is by using a coax cable testing tool that is built specifically for the task. Hitron's DSS-01 Coax Cable Tester detects the valid signals from your Cable Internet provider, by detecting the specific signal range (range of frequencies) that they use.

Once the router and Mesh Extender have paired successfully, the Mesh Extender status light will turn solid green. This may take up to 4 minutes. If you're using the Google Fiber app, press “Continue.” The app will let you know when your Mesh Extender connection is successful.

1 Check the basics

For example, you should check if the volume is turned up, if the mute button is not pressed, if the audio settings are correct, and if the audio driver is updated. You should also try plugging in different headphones or speakers and see if the problem persists.

On your PC. Check the network status in Settings. Open Settings > Network & Internet > Status. Check your Ethernet connection status there.
