    Just Got My Fiber Optic Installed! WOW!!


    I have always had mediocre net access. Download speeds of maybe 70 mbps and uploads of.. Pathetic... 25 mbps. So I forked out the bucks for Fiber Optic. The package I chose was the 300 X 300. O! And just for signing up thy gave me a "Samsung 55 Inch 4K TV." *Wink My main system is wired. Cat5e. My laptops, DELL Inspiron N17 series (Cerca 2011) To get them up to speed I'm getting a couple of WIFI Dongles that support 802.11ac. So for the WOW factor... Check out my little video. I have the biggest smile on my face right now...

    How to Set up for Fiber Optic Internet

    I don't think you need to put fiber **in** your house. The fiber is outside.

    The ISP will install a fiber-to-cable box (Google fiber calls it the "fiber jack") in your home. That connects to the modem/router over conventional Ethernet cable.

    We got Google fiber two years ago. All I had to do was click to order and click to pay.

    The outside installer put a box on the back of the house for the fiber junction.

    The inside installer put the fiber jack inside, installed the router in a closet (Google calls it the "network box"), installed a "cable box" at each TV, programmed the Google TV remotes, connected two LAN-side cables for the wired computers ... and done.

    With four Google cable TV boxes plus the "network box" ... we have five wifi access points in the house.

    I provided no equipment of any kind.

    What does your provider offer?

    How to Set up for Fiber Optic Internet

    Excluding the nighthawk line of netgear routers mainly for the pricing, what brand of gaming routers do you or anyone here recommend for fiber optic internet; I took a look at some asus ones, but if there's others at a slightly lower price but still performs just as good for fiber optic internet, that'd be mighty appreciated
