Wireless Optimizing
While XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over wireless Internet, there are things you can to to optimize your Wireless internet. This can help with getting better Wireless Speeds.
WiFi Analyzer
Wireless routers have quickly become an essential appliance in the modern home. Use of a Wifi Analyzer, to optimize your WiFi network may become required.
Depending on your home situation it is common that the wireless channel being used has become overcrowded. Using a wireless channel that is overcrowded can decreased bandwidth and/or connectivity issues for your network. Use Wifi Analyzer to see what channels are in use and to identify the best channel to set on your router.
Please visit our WiFi Analyzer page for assistance.

Speed Tests
- It is not recommended to use the speedtest function built into the router interface. This speedtest function does not test a server with-in the northern region of Utah and will often produce slower results.
- Please use XMission's Speedtest or Ookla any other speedtest service can not be verified.
- For Window 10 and Mac users we strongly suggest installing the Ookla App to get the most accurate results.
Wireless Speeds
Please be aware that internet speeds are limited on wireless networking, XMission can not troubleshoot speed issues basied on wireless results alone. It will be required to have a device hardwired to your router using a Cat5e Ethernet Cable.
Common Wireless Speeds are: * 2.4GHz typically only supports Wireless speeds of 10-75Mbps. * 5GHz typically supports wireless speeds of 10-600/1000Mbps.
