Review included hardware and Wi-Fi performance

Home 3 Gig includes specialized multi-gigabit hardware engineered to handle high data volumes across your entire living space:

  • Primary router: A gFiber Wi-Fi 7 Router comes standard with your service. You can also connect your own compatible third-party multi-gig router.
  • Mesh extenders: A certified technician will assess your layout during setup and supply up to 2 Mesh Extenders at no extra charge. If you need additional extenders, purchase them directly through your web account.
  • Peak wireless delivery: Expect real-world Wi-Fi throughput up to 1.6 Gbps when testing immediately next to the primary router.

Understand exclusive network features

Home 3 Gig is available for $100 per month (plus applicable taxes) with zero contracts, no data caps, and no hidden equipment rentals. It includes structural optimizations tailored to high-demand spaces.

Priority Room Optimization

During your standard installation, a gFiber technician inspects your wall outlets and home layout to establish a custom network setup. Hardwired Ethernet cables provide lower latency and faster data rates than wireless channels:
  1. The technician tests the signal paths in rooms where speed is vital, such as an office or gaming desk.
  2. The technician runs dedicated Ethernet lines directly to those target rooms.
  3. If your property layout does not permit physical wiring, the technician reconfigures your Wi-Fi channel bands and router positioning for maximum coverage.

Internet Battery Backup

The gFiber network uses light pulses rather than copper electrical signals, allowing fiber infrastructure to stay fully active during power grid interruptions. To keep your Wi-Fi and hardwired devices online when power fails, add an Internet Battery Backup for $10 per month (plus applicable taxes).

  • Runtime coverage: Supplies up to 2 hours of power to your primary Fiber Jack and router during a local blackout.
  • Automatic failover: Detects power loss and switches to backup power without resetting your open browser sessions or active streams.
alert-warning
The Internet Battery Backup provides power only to the primary Fiber Jack and main router. It does not supply power to remote Mesh Extenders, connected computers, or external provider outages.

Manage upgrades, downgrades, and returns

To change your lifestyle internet product or manage hardware:

  1. In a web browser, go to your gFiber account portal, or open the mobile gFiber App.
  2. In the Network tab, select Manage product.
  3. Choose Edge 8 Gig to initiate an upgrade, or choose an alternate configuration.
  4. Select Save changes to confirm your selection.
  5. Check your account dashboard to verify that your active speed profile shows your updated lifestyle internet product.
alert-warning
Upgrading to a newer lifestyle internet product retires access to legacy speed structures (such as 1 Gig, 2 Gig, or 5 Gig). You cannot downgrade to an expired legacy structure once an upgrade takes effect.
alert-red
If you cancel your gFiber account or downgrade your service, return your Internet Battery Backup and any leased gFiber equipment within 60 days to prevent replacement hardware fees.
