Better Placement, Stronger Wi-Fi: The 3 Places You Should Never Put Your Router

Fiber delivers multi-gigabit speeds to your gateway, but Wi-Fi still has to travel through the air. Closets, metal objects, and the floor can waste that speed before it reaches your devices. Learn the three places to avoid, where to put your router instead, and why your installer should know your home layout.

How Fiber Optic Internet Has Changed Our Lives

In 1984, dial-up ran under 56 kilobits per second and a single low-resolution image took minutes to load. Modern fiber uses pulses of light through glass threads to reach multiple gigabits per second, powering 4K streaming, remote work, and smart homes. Here is how far we have come and why iGo is building for tomorrow.
