How to Set Up Google Fi Super Network on Pixel

Google Fi launched its Super Network on 10 November 2026. Eligible Pixel phones now switch automatically between two 5G networks and connect to millions of encrypted Wi-Fi hotspots. The feature aims to reduce dead zones without extra cost on supported plans.

This guide shows how to prepare your Pixel, confirm the requirements, and verify the Super Network is active. All steps draw from Google’s official announcement and support details.

What the Super Network does

The Super Network uses Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) eSIM technology. One eSIM chip holds and runs two carrier profiles at once. Your Pixel monitors signal quality and hands off to the secondary network when the primary drops or weakens. Google does not name the two networks publicly. One is the long-standing T-Mobile host; the other is a major US carrier.

Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ joins the feature. It logs you into high-quality Wi-Fi networks in airports, malls, and other crowded spots with automatic encryption. No manual login is required. International switching is included on Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans.

Availability starts on Pixel 9, Pixel 10, and Pixel 11 series devices. Other phones receive access in 2027. The feature rolls out at no additional charge on every Google Fi plan.

Requirements before you start

Confirm these conditions first:

• Pixel 9 or newer (Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 10 series, Pixel 11 series).
• Google Fi active on an eSIM. Physical SIMs or secondary eSIMs must be disabled.
• Active Google Fi plan (Flexible, Unlimited Essentials, Unlimited Standard, or Unlimited Premium).
• Phone software updated to the latest available Android version.
• Location and mobile data enabled.

Network switching is not available in every area. Performance depends on signal strength, device configuration, and battery level.

Step-by-step setup

1. Open the Google Fi app on your Pixel. Sign in with the account linked to your Fi line.
2. Check the Home tab for a “Your super network” card. It appears once the feature reaches your account. The card shows whether you are on the Primary or Secondary network.
3. If the card is missing, force-close the Fi app, restart the phone, and reopen it. Rollout continues over days, so wait up to 48 hours after the 10 November start.
4. Disable any non-Fi SIMs. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. Turn off every profile that is not your Fi eSIM. Leave only the Fi eSIM active.
5. Confirm eSIM status. In the Fi app, open Account > Your number or Manage plan. The line should list as eSIM. If you still use a physical SIM, transfer it to eSIM through the Fi app prompts.
6. Test the connection. Walk or drive through an area where your usual signal weakens. Watch the status bar or the Fi app card for a switch to the Secondary network. Switches happen only when the quality difference is meaningful.

No separate toggle exists. Once requirements are met and the update arrives, switching runs automatically.

Check activity and Wi-Fi Auto Connect+

In the Fi app Home tab, tap “See activity” on the super network card. It lists recent switches and timestamps. The same area notes when you are in range of W+ Wi-Fi networks.

Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ activates in supported locations. Your Pixel joins the network without opening Settings. The connection is encrypted through Google Fi’s Virtual Carrier Network. You can confirm active Wi-Fi in the quick settings shade or under Network & internet.

International use

On Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans, the Super Network continues abroad. Switching and Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ work in more than 200 destinations where local partners exist. High-speed data limits still apply (up to 50 GB on Unlimited Premium, 15 GB on Flexible per person). After the limit, speeds drop to 256 kbps. The feature is not intended for stays longer than 90 consecutive days.

Troubleshooting common issues

• No super network card appears: Wait for rollout, restart the phone, or update the Fi app from the Play Store. Confirm the device is Pixel 9 or newer.
• Switching never happens: Verify only the Fi eSIM is enabled. Check coverage maps for your exact locations. Signal must differ enough to trigger a handoff.
• Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ does not join: Confirm you are in a supported location (North America, Europe, Asia, Brazil). Update the phone and Fi app. The feature expands gradually.
• Other SIMs keep re-enabling: After disabling them, restart the phone. Some dual-SIM setups require the secondary profile to stay off permanently for Super Network use.

Contact Ask Fi inside the Fi app for account-specific help. The AI support agent handles connectivity questions.

Related Pixel features from the November Drop

The same Pixel Drop that introduced Super Network also brought Gemini Intelligence to Pixel 10 devices and launched Pixel Tag. If you track items with a Pixel Tag, the improved cellular and Wi-Fi coverage can help location updates reach Find Hub more reliably. See our guide on how to set up Google Pixel Tag on Android for pairing steps.

Conclusion

Google Fi Super Network gives Pixel 9 and newer owners automatic access to two 5G networks plus encrypted Wi-Fi hotspots. Meet the eSIM and single-SIM requirements, then let the phone handle handoffs. Check the Fi app card to confirm activity. The feature arrives at no extra cost and expands coverage in dead zones and crowded indoor spaces.
