WiFi Speed Test
Test your WiFi speed vs your ISP plan. Understand why wireless is slower than ethernet, what affects signal, and how to improve your results.
A WiFi speed test measures your wireless link—not always your full ISP capacity. Walls, distance, interference, and older routers routinely cut speeds in half compared to ethernet.
For the best comparison, run one test on WiFi and another with a wired connection to the same router. The gap tells you whether to upgrade WiFi or call your ISP.
Start the test below from your current device. Stand near the router for a best-case WiFi reading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my WiFi slower than ethernet?▾
Wireless shares airtime, loses signal through walls, and competes with neighbors on the same channel. Ethernet is almost always faster and more stable.
What is a good WiFi speed?▾
Match your plan: if you pay for 300 Mbps, getting 200+ Mbps on WiFi near the router is reasonable. Far rooms may see much less.
