How do I check my WiFi speed?

Connect to your WiFi network and click Start Speed Test above. The test measures your wireless connection's download speed, upload speed, and latency.

Why is my WiFi slower than my plan?

WiFi speeds are affected by distance from the router, walls, interference from other networks and devices, how many devices are active, and the WiFi standard your router and client support.

How can I improve my WiFi speed?

Place the router centrally and high, use the 5 GHz band for nearby devices, change to a less congested channel, update firmware, and consider mesh coverage for larger homes.

Should I test on WiFi or Ethernet?

Both. The Ethernet result tells you what the line delivers; the WiFi result tells you what the wireless link delivers. The gap between them is your WiFi loss.

Why does the result change between rooms?

Signal strength falls with distance and through walls, and weaker signals force slower, more robust encoding. Testing room by room is how you map coverage.

What this test measures

The test measures the full path from your device to a measurement server, which means your wireless link is included in the result. Download speed is how fast data reaches you, upload speed is how fast you can send, and ping is how quickly the connection responds.

Because the wireless hop is part of the path, a WiFi result is normally lower than the speed your provider delivers to the router. That difference is the useful part of this test.

How to interpret your results

Run the test next to the router, then repeat it in the room where the problem occurs. If the result near the router matches your plan and the distant room does not, the wireless coverage is the bottleneck rather than your provider.

If both results fall short of your plan, test once over an Ethernet cable. When the wired result is also low, the issue is the line or the router, not WiFi.

What is considered a good WiFi result?

Typical wireless throughput expectations
Situation	Typical result	Notes
Same room as a WiFi 6 router	60–90% of plan speed	Best case for a wireless link
One wall away	40–70% of plan speed	Normal attenuation
Two or more walls, 2.4 GHz	10–30% of plan speed	Range at the cost of speed
Congested apartment block	Highly variable	Interference dominates
Ping over WiFi	1–5 ms above wired	Variance matters more than the average

Why WiFi differs from Ethernet

Wireless is a shared medium: devices take turns, so airtime rather than bandwidth is the scarce resource.
Signal quality drops with distance and through walls, and slower encoding is used to stay reliable.
Interference from neighbouring networks, microwaves and older cordless devices forces retransmissions.
The 2.4 GHz band travels further but is narrow and crowded; 5 GHz and 6 GHz are faster over shorter distances.
Your device matters as much as the router — an older adapter caps the link regardless of router capability.
Every extra active device reduces the airtime available to the rest.

How to improve your result

Place the router centrally, elevated, and away from metal, mirrors and water pipes.
Put nearby devices on 5 GHz or 6 GHz and leave 2.4 GHz for distant, low-bandwidth devices.
Scan for a quieter channel instead of leaving the router on a crowded default.
Update router firmware and the client's wireless driver.
Add mesh nodes or a wired access point for coverage rather than a plain range extender.
Wire anything stationary and demanding — a console, desktop or TV — to free up airtime.
