What Experian actually says
“You have high-speed internet service (minimum 25 mbps download / 5 mbps upload). You can test your home internet speed by using this link: speedtest.net.”— The Muse — Customer Support Specialist, Remote AR · source

What passes for Experian
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 Experian'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 Experian 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 25 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Experian internet questions, answered
Experian 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 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Experian does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Experian does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
