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. 👍
