Wi‑Fi speed test
Run this on your phone or laptop over Wi‑Fi, then once more next to the router. The gap between the two is what your walls, distance and router are costing you.

Questions about this test
Why is Wi‑Fi slower than my plan?
Every wall and metre of distance costs signal; 2.4 GHz is slow and crowded; older routers and devices cap the link. Expect 50–90% of your plan near the router and far less in distant rooms.
How do I get faster Wi‑Fi?
Put the router up high and in the open, use the 5 GHz or 6 GHz band for nearby devices, turn on 160 MHz channels on Wi‑Fi 6/6E/7 routers, update firmware, and add a wired access point or mesh node for far rooms.
Should I test wired too?
Yes. If an Ethernet test is near your plan speed and Wi‑Fi is far below, the fix is on your side (router, placement, band). If wired is also slow, contact your provider.
What Wi‑Fi speed do I need?
25 Mbps per 4K stream, 5–10 Mbps per video call, under 50 ms ping for gaming. Most homes are comfortable with 100–300 Mbps actually delivered over Wi‑Fi.
