Frequently asked questions
Compatible devices include the latest smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart home gear, as long as you upgrade your router to Optimum’s latest Wi-Fi 6E to maximize your speeds with bigger bandwidth.
Wi-Fi speeds may slow down due to interference, outdated equipment, or signal dead zones. Upgrading to a mesh network system or adding a compatible Wi-Fi extender can help alleviate the issue.
Your best bet? Upgrade to Optimum’s latest Wi-Fi 6E, which delivers next-generation internet through higher speeds and larger bandwidth.
A mesh network is a type of Wi-Fi system where multiple devices (called nodes or satellites) work together to provide strong, consistent internet coverage throughout your home or space. Instead of relying on a single router, a mesh system spreads your Wi-Fi signal through these connected devices, so you get better coverage in every room—even in areas that were dead zones before. You can learn about Optimum’s Wi-Fi router here.
If you have multiple devices connected or heavy usage, consider Optimum’s 1 Gig or Fiber Internet plans* with our whole home Wi-Fi mesh coverage.
