Testing WiFi speed

[McGraw]

Is there a way I can test the maximum current throughput of my WiFi without sending files from my partner’s laptop to my desktop?

My desktop and phone both handle much faster than the max speed I can upgrade to (900mbps) via WiFi6/6e.

I just want to run a program on my phone or desktop in my attic that tells me whether I’ll need extra equipment to get 900 in my attic thanks

Can only get 100mbps ish max up/down.

BT home hub 5
iPhone 15 pro as server by router
WiFi 6 laptop next to it too

Any clues? Thanks

Likely the issue. It’s been out for 10 years now, and wasn’t anything special when new.

Ok thanks it’s supposed to do 1300 but I guess I’d get another router anyway

You don’t need to be next to it, same room is fine and about 6-10 foot away if you can. Right next to it would be one of the worst spots.

Also scan for interference, you can get wifi scanning apps.

Ta but the app says within 1.5m
