What is it and how much does it cost?
Today, Verizon introduced its next-generation Fios Home Router, the country’s first Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router offered by a carrier, and its new Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender1, giving Fios customers unmatched access to speeds and coverage. The Fios Home Router features Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 technology, the latest Wi-Fi standard that offers, on average, 60% faster speeds and 63% more coverage compared to previous Verizon routers2.
“As more and more people adopt smart home technology and connect more devices, the need for a reliable router that provides more coverage throughout the home has become a necessity,” said Heather McDavitt vice president of Verizon Consumer Products. “Verizon’s new Fios Home Router and companion Fios Home Wi-Fi Extender are the perfect solutions for Fios customers who want to blanket their home with powerful and secure Wi-Fi.”
With the latest Verizon home router and extender, you get the perfect set up for managing all of your Wi-Fi technology, such as 4K video streaming, gaming or large file transfers. Plus, you can easily manage your Wi-Fi using the My Fios app.
