Note: The FibreOP modem is dual band, which means you can choose from 1 of 2 wireless networks - 2.4 or 5 GHz - when connecting Wi-Fi-capable devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones.

  • The 2.4 GHz network provides further distance but has an increased chance of interference than the 5 GHz network due to the fact more consumer products operate on 2.4 GHz (e.g. baby monitors, cordless phones, microwaves, etc.). It’s great for roaming through the house and to meet the demands of everyday Internet activities.
  • The 5 GHz network provides higher speeds at a closer range and is less likely to be subject to interference. It’s great for video and audio streaming, as well as gaming.
