Recommended Router Specifications for Best 2 Gbps Performance
While we aren't able to recommend specific models to purchase, if you choose to bring your our router, it should meet the following technical requirements:
- Wi-Fi 6 or faster wireless capabilities
- Mesh system for homes with multiple floors, or over 1,500 square feet
- Multiple 2.5G or faster Ethernet WAN port
- 2.5G or faster LAN ports (if wired LAN is required)
Physical Compatibility
Ting uses standard Ethernet for its router connection, but many Internet Providers have routers that will only work with their technology. Here are the things to look for to determine if your router is physically locked to your old internet provider.
Take a look at the ports on the back of your router to see what you have.
Supported: 2.5 Gigabit WAN port & Ethernet ports
Not Supported:
- DSL connector from phone company internet (looks similar to Ethernet, but is narrower and will likely be labeled DSL)
- Fiber router with built-in ONT (will have a metal box around the connector, may be labeled SFP).
