  • Learn to optimize routers, channels, and settings (2.4GHz, 5GHz, WiFi 6) to boost performance.
  • Solve customer speed complaints by testing throughput and finding bottlenecks (CPE, wiring, or OLT).

  • Certifications (preferred but not required).
  • FOA Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT) or similar.
  • OSHA or safety certifications for OSP work.
