How can you unlock the full potential of fiber to your home?

Proximus fiber allows you to enjoy the fastest Internet in the country! It is already available in many Belgian cities, and over 2,000,000 homes and businesses can already benefit from it. Thanks to our partnerships with Fiberklaar in Flanders, Unifiber in Wallonia and GoFiber in the German-speaking municipalities, this figure is bound to increase.

But you should know that once fiber has been installed in your home, there are a number of things you can do to unlock its full potential. Find out below how to get the most out of fiber in your home!

1. An Internet Box tailored to your fiber experience

Our Flex+ Fiber packs include state-of-the-art equipment, adapted to each type of fiber experience for optimum performance.

For Flex+ Mega Fiber customers, the Internet Box powered by Wi-Fi 6 technology offers Wi-Fi that's up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, while proving more stable and more secure as well.

For Flex+ Giga and Ultra Fiber customers, the Internet Box+ powered by Wi-Fi 6E technology guarantees tremendous speeds, an even more stable connection and optimum security. Ideal for taking advantage of the power of fiber.

2. An ideal place for your Internet Box(+)

To get the most of your Wi-Fi connection, your Internet Box(+) should be strategically placed in your home. This will maximize the strength of your Wi-Fi signal. Determine the most suitable place together with our technician, during the installation of the fiber into your home.

3. One or more Wi-Fi Boosters(+)

A Wi-Fi Booster(+), or Wi-Fi extender, is a device that increases the range and strength of the Wi-Fi signal from your Internet Box(+). So you can enjoy optimum connection in every room of your home. This type of device is particularly useful if you have a fiber connection, as it lets you enjoy exceptional speeds anywhere in your home.

For optimum performance, our Wi-Fi Boosters(+) can be connected by an Ethernet cable. However, in the absence of such cables, they can also be connected over Wi-Fi. They should then be placed at a strategic distance from the Internet Box(+) to pick up the signal properly and easily extend it to other rooms. Find out how to install a Wi-Fi Booster(+).

The Proximus+ app is very convenient when it comes to everyday use. One of these uses, for instance, is testing your Internet connectivity. It's as easy as can be: the app provides you with an accurate measure of your Wi-Fi performance in every room of your home. So you'll know the connection speed and Wi-Fi signal strength for each room.

But that’s not all. If the app determines that it is possible to optimize your connection, it will provide you with tips on how to improve your Wi-Fi performance. It's an ideal way to get the most out of your fiber connection!

5. Recent, up-to-date devices
