What are the minimum specifications of devices (laptop and mobile phone) that I should use to enjoy 500 and 800Mbps speed?

  1. For WiFi connection:
    • For Internet speeds up to 300Mbps, the user needs to have minimum WiFi 802.11n (5GHz) capabilities
    • For Internet speeds up to 500Mbps, the user needs to have minimum WiFi 802.11ac (5GHz) capabilities
    • For Internet speeds up to 800Mbps, the user needs to have minimum WiFi 802.11ax (5GHz) capabilities
  2. ​For Wired connection:
    • The users need to use Cat5e Network cable or better and have their device equipped with 1Gbit Network Interface Card (NIC)
  3. A summary of the minimum specifications for devices as tabulated below:
  1. Number of WiFi antennas in the client device
  2. Distance and WiFi signal strength between client device and RGW/Mesh AP
  3. Overall WiFi signal congestion/pollution in area
  4. Total number of devices connected to the RGW/Mesh AP



Remarks: As a note, even meeting those minimum requirements, it is not a guarantee that devices connected over WiFi will be able to take advantage of the maximum subscribed speeds due to one or more of the following:

  • Distance from the RGW/Mesh AP
  • Client's Wi-Fi hardware specifications/capabilities
  • Overall Wi-Fi signal quality in the area
