How it works
Internet from the air, not the ground
Mac5G Home Internet is fixed-wireless 5G. The same towers that carry your phone send internet to a router in your home, so there's no cable to bury and no technician to wait for.
The network reaches your address
We check your exact address with the network. 5G home internet runs where the signal is strong enough to deliver the plan's speed.
The router turns signal into Wi-Fi
The Kadet or Spark picks up 5G and turns it into Wi-Fi for every device in the house, up to 200 of them.
You place it where it works best
Near a window, up high, away from thick walls. A specialist helps you find the spot, and a Beacon antenna can pull in more signal.
Setup
Set it up yourself in minutes
- Unbox the router and screw on the antennas.
- Plug it in near a window, on a shelf if you can.
- Join the Wi-Fi using the name and password on the sticker.
- Run a speed test and move the router if you need to. We'll help by phone.
Placement tips
- Up high and near a window that faces the street
- Away from microwaves, metal and thick masonry
- In the middle of the home for the best Wi-Fi reach
- Big house? Add a Sidekick extender

Go deeper: what 5G home internet is, how it compares with cable, fiber and satellite and where to put the router.
Is 5G home internet as good as cable?
For most homes, yes. It handles streaming, video calls, school, work and gaming. Real speeds depend on your address, the signal and how busy the network is, so we check your address first and tell you what to expect.
Does weather affect it?
Heavy storms can briefly affect any wireless signal. Most homes won’t notice. Good router placement helps a lot.
Will it work in a rural area?
Often, yes. That’s one of the best uses for it. Where unlimited 5G doesn’t reach yet, the Home Lite and Home data plans often still do.
Can I move the router to another room?
Yes. Just plug it in wherever the signal is strongest. If you move to a new address, tell us first so we can check the new one.
