What Assurance IQ actually says
“High speed internet that meets a minimum download of 20mbps and a minimum upload 10mbps.”— Assurance — Independent Licensed Property & Casualty (P&C) Agents (via The Muse) · source
Assurance IQ is owned by Prudential Financial (already listed separately, with different, stricter requirements from its own direct postings). This is an independent-contractor (1099), commission-based role, not a W-2 employee position.
What passes for Assurance IQ
A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit: upload speed matches download, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.
If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past Assurance IQ's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.
Before your Assurance IQ tech check
- Confirm a wired provider reaches your address.
- Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
- Run a speed test on the wired line (target: at least 20 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Assurance IQ internet questions, answered
Assurance IQ permits Wi-Fi on some programs, but the connectivity scan during onboarding is run on a wired connection. Plan for Ethernet at the desk.
At least 20 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Assurance IQ does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Assurance IQ does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
