Equipment Requirements for Ultra-Fast Speeds
As part of the installation process, Mercury will provide you with a multi-gig capable ONT to convert the fiber signal into something your router can use and Cat6a or Cat 7 ethernet cables. Wired connections are recommended to take advantage of true 5 Gig performance. Many modern motherboards now ship with 2.5G ports, but for full 5-gigabit speeds, a special network interface card is required.
A Wi-Fi 6–enabled Momentum Blast router also comes standard with your service. These routers are commercial-grade and designed to handle multiple devices with strong coverage across the home. Large homes may need to add a Wi-Fi extender to avoid dead zones. Mercury’s Whole Home Wi-Fi program ensures Wi-Fi is available in every room.
