Best application to measure internet and WiFi speed?

[carlsson]

I would like to analyze my Netgear Orbi mesh Network. Do you guys have any special iOS application to recommend that does the job?

Yes it’s called Network!

I use Wi-Fi SweetSpots

If anybody is still looking....the free wifi man is simple and does everything most folks need, including live ping times and speed tests. UBNT knows networking...so this should be a safe bet to stay up to date, and possibly get more features or improvements.

Is it a joke ? Seriously ?

Yes just hold down the ‘Option’ key then click on the Wi-Fi icon that is in you Finder Menu to get the connection speed!

Pretty sure satcomer is referring to the wifi icon on the toolbar on a Mac. You mentioned iOS...so while the option trick works, to see the details of a wifi connection on a Mac, it is not the platform you mentioned.

After doing some testing, I have to agree, that wifi sweetspots looks pretty promising for finding...well, sweet spots. It really depends on what you want to view/monitor though. wifi man is pretty solid to map out devices and check their particulars.

Hi All,

Wifi-Man keeps crashing on my ipad - shame.

Wifi Sweet spot appears to be a iphone only app - does not work horizontal on my ipad in magic keyboard.



RE: Speed test
I’ve found one that works for me On App Store: SpeedSmart. ?

Take a look at this app:

WiFi Signal doesn't seem to recommend any alternative channels for my network. Why? - Intuitibits

If your network is already using one of the recommended channels or if simply all channels are saturated, then WiFi Signal will not offer any recommendations. Make sure channel recommendations are enabled.

www.intuitibits.com

It is a menu bar application that will show your current Wi-Fi status.
