Each wireless device connects to your network through a wireless network adapter. Some are faster than others. So let's say you have the 500 Mbps FiOS plan. That's fast!

Your tablet's wireless network adapter might be able to go 30 Mbps. Your laptop might be able to go 75 Mbps. But that doesn't come close to the full speed.

And that's not all. Wireless interference, wireless standards, and many other factors affect wi-fi performance.

To enjoy maximum FiOS speeds, go wired. An Ethernet cable connection is typically faster and more reliable than wi-fi, and can handle the full speed of your plan.

Keep in mind that Ethernet cables have speed limits too, as do the wired network adapters on your device.

Make sure you're using a cable that's rated for high speeds, and check with your device manufacturer to see what speeds its Ethernet port can handle.
