Test at different times if possible

External factors (e.g., server load) also play a role.

Test Your Internet Speed

Do you want to check how close your overall internet speed is to the plan you subscribed to with your provider? Then you should definitely follow the general speed test tips for more meaningful results and connect your test device directly to the router via LAN cable.

Once you have eliminated as many sources of interference as possible, you can conduct the speed test. If the result does not meet your expectations or the agreements outlined in your plan, even after multiple tests at different times , you should contact your internet provider.

WiFi Speed Test

Do you want to test your WiFi quality under more realistic conditions? The easiest way to do this is with the help of a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. First, perform the speed test close to the router and then in rooms where you feel the WiFi is weak.

Depending on the distance to the router, structural conditions, and other interference factors, you should notice a decline in your test results. Follow our tips for home network optimization to improve the signal in every room.

Tips for Home Network Optimization

If you want to improve your WiFi at home, you can try some basic tips. Position your router as high and freely as possible and realign its antennas. You can also try to enhance the WiFi performance by using different frequency bands.

In most cases, large distances from the router, thick ceilings and walls, as well as other interference factors like electrical devices, prevent the WiFi from penetrating every corner. The simplest solution in such a case is the use of a WiFi extender.
