5gig meaning 5000mbps on a home internet system... Wired and WiFi. No confusion with cellular 5g etc.

Att, google and Cox offer this service in our area (and up to 10gigabit in some spots) A properly configured EERO system is capable of 10Gig...

Customers don't understand that the hardware in their hand (phone, tablet, laptop) is not capable of such speeds. You can tell them this over and over and over, they just don't get it. The way to manage their expectation is to show them that the network in their home is working to spec by running a simple speed test on a device capable of operating at really high wifi speed.

I'm asking if anyone here has experience with a device that can communicate with a WiFi system capable of really high speed... 2.5 gigabit, 5 gigabit etc.


Google says these are the fastest WIFI adapter currently available

Plug them into a USB 3.0 port and see what speeds you are able to obtain on a laptop.

Not sure how you explain the network speeds but I typically use roads and cars as analogies.  your network speed is the Autobahn but your device is a Ford Pinto.  The Autobahn is capable of you driving 500mph but your ford pinto only lets you drive 80mph.  This typically gets through to customers that don't understand their network speed for me anyways.

You can't fix stupid
