Internet Speed Test App Download

Your internet can be slow for many reasons. Your internet plan may be too slow for your needs, your modem or router may be out of date, your router may be on the fritz, or you might have too many people using your Wi-Fi at the same time. We can help you identify where the problem is and how to fix it.

You can improve your internet speed by upgrading to a faster plan, updating your equipment, or taking simpler measures like closing out apps and browser windows. We can walk you through 10 steps to improve your internet speed in just 15 minutes.

The fastest internet providers are Google Fiber, Verizon Fios, Xfinity, Metronet, and Cox. All of those internet providers offer fiber or cable internet plans with gigabit speeds. See our report on the Fastest Internet Providers.

If you see inconsistent results, there might be a bottleneck on your end. You can troubleshoot poor internet speeds with our guide on how to fix slow internet. But your internet connection may just be slow either from your plan or your internet type.

The time (measured in milliseconds) it takes for a signal to travel from your device to an internet server and back. Lower latency means your connection has a better response time for activities like gaming and livestreams.

ISP throttling is when your internet provider intentionally slows down your connection. This may happen due to network congestion or your ISP limiting certain types of traffic. A quick WiFi speed test can confirm whether or not your provider is throttling your connection.

Just download the Panoramic Wifi app to get started. From there, simply log in and select the WiFi tab. Tap "Troubleshoot" and then "Test your whole home network" to start a comprehensive test. It'll check for both outages and speeds.

A "packet" of information is sent from your device to the server and back. The amount of time it takes for that information to make the trip is your ping. Next, the speed test downloads and uploads a packet of data over that connection. How quickly your internet can transfer that data from the network to your device and from your device back to the network determines your download and upload speed.

This speed is measured to and from the device you are using to run the test, which means the type of connection has a big impact on the result. Speed to your device may vary greatly depending on whether you have a wired or WiFi connection. Over a WiFi connection, speed to your device may vary greatly depending on how close your device is to your WiFi point, as well as any obstructions or distance in between. On the other hand, a wired (Ethernet) connection from the device straight to the modem will be about the same as the network speed to your home or building.

I just set up my new CM600 modem a few nights ago because my Orbi 2200 router was being unreliable. I bought the Orbi router has really helped cover my duplex apartment with good, reliable WiFi. I have the main router hub downstairs near our home office and the satellite upstairs near the living room. Part of the speed problems I've had were related to Spectrum internet service, which can't be blamed on the router.

However, one thing I noticed about the Orbi router is that the app includes a "Speed Test" service. After setting up the router, I was consistently told by the app on my phone (iPhone 8 Plus) that my download speeds were 200+ mbps, which was great and much better than my old internet speeds! My internet service plan from Spectrum is supposed to get me 200 mbps downloads. The Orbi app says their speed test is provided by Ookla, who also have their own speed test website and app on iphone. What I found out was that on my iPhone Orbi app, my download speeds were rated as 200+ mbps, but only 30-35 mbps on the separate Ookla speed test app (both are run from my phone). I checked the Speed Test website on my laptop in the same location and also got 30-35 mbps. This leads me to believe that Netgear may be using the Ookla Speed Test service, but they are manipulating the numbers on the app to make their router look faster and better as the numbers are inconsistent. On 3/26/2019 around 11:09 pm the Ookla Speed Test app measured a download speed of 39.5 mbps, whereas the Orbi Speed Test (powered by Ookla) measured 209.32 mbps download at 11:11 pm. You may notice that on 3/27/19 the Speed Test app screen shot (darker background) the speeds doubled, because that's after I upgraded by cable modem from an older Arris model to a Netgear CM600. However, strangely, the Orbi Speed Test app didn't measure much of a change in download speed after the modem upgrade.

The built in app with the orbi is hardwired into the orbi. So its going off a hardwired speed. I notice your screen shot is from a wireless device. The wireless device might be connected to teh 2.4ghz or if its on 5ghz might be having interference in your area. Try hardwiring in your laptop and testing the speeds that way. That'll give you an accurate measure of your speeds. Your results of that dictate the best way to troubleshoot this to be a connectio problem to a wireless issue.

That makes sense. I was hoping the Orbi app's speed test functionality would allow me to determine the best location for satellite routers by testing the speed from my wireless devices, but if it only tests the speed of the main router connected to my modem, then that doesn't seem to be the case and I would need to use a third-party solution. Thank you.

Speedtest is the app that the built in Orbi uses. You can use the same app on your phone for testing placment. Keeping in mind, you should run the test several times because Orbi will dynamically change 2.4-5ghz as needed for speed.

However, on the UDM Pro v3.1.15, running Network 7.5.174, I have a daily speed test scheduled. I can also run it manually. Regardless of scheduled or manual when the UDM Pro runs it's internal internet speed test my speeds are always significantly lower-- like 228 Mbps down and 96.0 Mbps up.

However, this weekend I helped a friend setup a UDM Pro SE. They have the same internet service as I do. We ran the wired test from their PC and everything looked great. The we ran the internal UDM Pro SE test and those results looked great as well -- 868 Mbps down and 883 Mbps up.

I have Frontier 1 gig wifi and am experiencing vastly different reports on the different speed tests. The fiber connection is in my garage; my nest router is at that location, my nest point is 40 feet away with 1 wall in between in my kitchen. When I do a speed test in my garage at that location my router will I will get wifi speeds up to 500--600 mpbs. However in the house the speed is much slower. When I test (in the house) the mesh internet speed I get the following results:

The router has a wireless radio to broadcast the mesh connection to the point and the point has a receiver. This connection will loose some speed as it's wireless it's never going to be 100% efficient. There's then some wall and some distance to cover so this will have to factor in some loss, there also might be other wireless signals to take into account if they are on the same band (although I think nest WiFi says it auto switches bands if it senses interference)

WiFi speeds tend to decrease with distance between the (nest) router and the remote node because of WiFi signal attenuation over distance (inverse-distance loss), as well as added losses through building materials, plus added noise from other electronic devices and equipment in the home that.

Also, speed tests can differ wildly. Speed tests on a near-by round trip (in the same town) usually register much faster than when the round trip is from a router farm in the next town, which goes through intermediate routers and switches. One needs to run the same test procedure and use the same remote router to make comparable measurements.

Hello everyone,

@domwhewell, I appreciate you sharing your input and trying to help here.

@landinH, thanks for reaching out. Please test the connection on your ISP modem, Google Nest Wifi router and point again. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the modem and router before conducting the test. Also, we recommend that your point be no more than two rooms apart. Check out this article to learn more: Troubleshoot slow internet on Google Nest Wifi or Google Wifi.

Sincerely,

Lovely

The highest speed you will see is the maximum speed that your connection and the server's connection can offer. If your connection is 512KB and the place where you are downloading is 400KB, your max connection will be 400KB because it is the max for the server you are downloading from.

You need to have at least 4 or 5 different testing sources to have a more accurate speed. Never test only from the same site as this can be affected by your distance to it, any problem in the server and the connections to it, etc. Always test from different servers. e24fc04721
