Google Fiber Webpass is so easy to use, you don’t need a modem or any other equipment to connect to it. Just plug your device into the Google Fiber Webpass jack with an Ethernet cable and boom! Instant access to awesome internet. Our tech will even give you an Ethernet cable for free during installation. Because we’re thoughtful like that. Get more info on how to connect to Google Fiber Webpass here.
Want WiFi? Ok, you will need your own WiFi router for that. See our tips on how to pick a WiFi router.
We already know you’re smart because you want a wired connection, which is the best way to connect to Google Fiber Webpass. So don’t feel silly if you can’t find where to plug in the Ethernet cable on your device. You’re not missing something; your device is—an Ethernet port! But don’t worry, you can still plug in your device to get the fastest, most reliable connection by using an Ethernet adapter. An Ethernet adapter plugs into whatever port you have on your device and turns it into an Ethernet port. There are several types of Ethernet adapters that are made to fit different ports on different devices. The most common is a USB-Ethernet adapter.
Here are the most common types of ports, so you can check if any match the one(s) on your device.
You can also connect to WiFi using a WiFi router, and you won’t have to worry about any wires, plugs, or ports on your device. But just remember, a wireless connection isn’t as fast or reliable as a wired one. And you’ll also need your own wireless router. See our tips on how to pick a WiFi router.
You love us, you really love us! We’re so glad you want to share the awesomeness of Google Fiber Webpass with all your friends and neighbors. And because we love you right back, we’ll give you a free month of service when a new Google Fiber Webpass customer signs up with your referral if you and your friend are in one of these markets: San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, and Miami.
But wait! There’s more: you can refer as many people as you want! Seeing the joy in your friends’ faces the first time they try Google Fiber Webpass might be all the reward you need. But we’ll still give you a free month of service for every new Google Fiber Webpass customer who uses your referral to sign up. Because we’re givers—just like you. Now go out and spread the love!
To get started, log into your Google Fiber Webpass customer portal and click on the Refer a Friend link in the menu on the left side of your account page.
To make our quick & easy installation even quicker & easier, here are some things you can do to get ready:
1. Find the data jack in your unit (hint: it looks like a phone jack) and make sure our technicians can easily access it. (i.e., clear any furniture, clothing, dust, figurine collection, or other obstacles that might be in the way)
2. Turn on your computer and have it handy, so your tech can test the connection after the installation is done.
3. Want WiFi? Don’t forget, you’ll need to get your own WiFi router before your appointment! See our tips on how to pick a WiFi router.
4. Want help setting up WiFi? Have your WiFi router nearby and ready (with all the packaging removed, if it’s new). You might also want to think of a username and password. (We’ve all signed onto WiFi networks with embarrassing names or a painfully long string of random letters and numbers. Don’t let yours be one of them!)
Is all this installation talk getting you excited? Us too! So what do you say to taking this relationship to the next level?

Yes, starting April 2022, we now provide a Google Wifi router to use for new customers at no extra cost. Although, you don’t have to take a router from us if you choose to use your own. See our tips on how to pick a WiFi router
There are many options for WiFi Ethernet routers. The one that’s right for you will depend on a few factors like the number of connected devices, the layout of your home, and your online activities. Here’s some guidance to help pick out one that best fits your needs, but we also have an Amazon Store with additional recommendations.
A cable or DSL modem-router combo will NOT work with Webpass service.
The basic option – for the typical internet user
To optimize our super fast speeds, look for a router with these basic features:
• 802.11ac
• Dual-band
• Gigabit Ethernet ports
Our recommendation: The NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wifi Router will support typical online activities, like email, web browsing, and streaming, but doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the more top-tier models.
The heavy hitter – for gamers and heavy internet users
If you’re a gamer or have a ton of devices, the extra cost for a more powerful router might be worth never having to suffer the buffer:
• WiFi 6
• Dual-band
• Gigabit Ethernet ports
Our recommendation: The NETGEAR Nighthawk AX12 provides more bandwidth for those who have the need for speed.
A mesh-router system – for homes with larger coverage area or WiFi dead spots
A mesh-router system uses multiple devices throughout your home to get signal to those dead spots a single WiFi router can’t reach. This option is the best way to eliminate spotty connectivity in units that are larger than 2200 square feet, have concrete or brick interior walls, or are split or multiple levels (guidelines here).
Our recommendation: Google Nest Wifi is a scalable system that gives both whole-home coverage and a consistently strong signal. Each Nest Wifi point is also a smart speaker with the Google Assistant, and you can manage the whole system with the Google Home app.
Keep in mind, when using WiFi, your internet speeds will only be as fast as your router’s connection. Plugging your device directly into an Ethernet port on your router will always give you the fastest, most reliable speeds. We suggest using a wired connection for streaming devices, game consoles, and other gadgets that use lots of internet bandwidth.
Nope! Google Fiber Webpass doesn’t need a modem or any other equipment to work. Just plug your device into the Google Fiber Webpass jack with an Ethernet cable and boom! Instant access to awesome internet. Pretty cool, right?
Want WiFi? Ok, you will need a WiFi router for that. But what’s different about Google Fiber Webpass is we don’t make you buy a WiFi router from us or pay a monthly fee to rent one. We give you the freedom to get your own router, so you can pick one that’s right for you. See our tips on how to pick a WiFi router.
Using a fiber optic connection as our network’s backbone, we beam internet through the air instead of using traditional cables. Our radios pick up the signal from the roof and plug into the building’s existing wiring to deliver internet straight to the data jack in your unit. All you need to do is plug in and sign on. No other equipment needed! This innovative technology not only delivers speeds that are just as fast and reliable as a fiber optic connection, but also makes installation super quick and easy with minimal disruption to the property or residents.
We hate to disappoint our fans! But right now, Google Fiber Webpass is only available for apartments, condominiums, and businesses.
Nope! Google Fiber Webpass doesn’t believe in tying you down with long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Don’t want to commit? We can keep it casual and take it month by month. We want you to stay because you love our fast speeds, awesome service, and reliability—not because you have to.

Nope! Google Fiber Webpass Internet service is connected to your home through a separate Ethernet jack that is completely independent from your phone line. No phone lines or phone service necessary.
At Google Fiber Webpass, we care about one thing: giving you super fast, reliable internet—not TV packages you don’t want or landlines you don’t use.

Once you start livin’ the stream with Google Fiber Webpass, you’ll find it’s easier, quicker, and cheaper to make calls and watch all your favorite shows online. If VoIP is your thing, you can always get a VoIP phone adapter to use with Google Fiber Webpass.

With Google Fiber Webpass, you should be livin’ the stream, not suffering the buffering. So let’s get to the bottom of this.
First let’s make sure there aren’t any other reasons you might be seeing slower-than-expected speeds. Here are a few things to check:
1. Your device is plugged directly into your Ethernet jack (i.e., you’re not on WiFi).
2. No other applications are running.
3. No other devices are connected.
4. You aren’t using the network for anything else.
5. You’ve cleared your browser’s cache and/or cookies. (Visit this page to learn how to do that.)
6. You’ve tried restarting your device.
Still not seeing those super fast speeds? Here are some of the most common factors that may be slowing you down:
- Connecting with WiFi: WiFi routers can be fickle, and there are a number of factors that can interfere with and slow down your connection. That’s why we always recommend plugging your device directly into your Google Fiber Webpass jack to get the fastest, most reliable speeds.
- WiFi Router: Our speeds are so fast, a lot of routers can’t handle them! So slow speeds could mean you need a WiFi router upgrade. To check whether you have the right type of WiFi router to give you the speed you need, see our tips on how to pick a WiFi router
- Device: It could be your device that’s bringing you down. The age of your device (and type of hardware you use) can impact your upload and download speeds. An outdated operating system, web browser, or web application are some of the other usual suspects. If you want to live your best internet life, keep it all updated.
Tried all this and your wired connection is still giving you trouble? Let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix it ASAP! Email support@webpass.net or call our Customer Support phone number
We never want you to suffer the buffer! But we can only control the Ethernet connection to your data jack, not the signal between the WiFi router and your device. Try plugging your device directly into the Google Fiber Webpass jack. If that works, the issue is most likely your WiFi router and not your Google Fiber Webpass connection.
With so many different WiFi routers available and other possible factors that can interfere with your WiFi signal, it’s difficult for us to help in this situation—as much as we hate to say it! Try turning off your WiFi router, wait about 5-10 minutes, then turn it back on. If that doesn’t work, call the WiFi router manufacturer for help.
Having issues with your connection when your device is plugged directly into the Google Fiber Webpass jack? Let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix it ASAP!
