How to test the speed of wireless network

1. First, find Tencent WiFi Manager on our mobile phone desktop and click it, as shown in the figure below.

2. Then click Manage at the bottom left of the screen, as shown in the figure below.

3. Then click the depth velocity measurement, as shown in the figure below.

4. Then wait for the speed measurement to be completed, as shown in the figure below.

5. Through the above operations, we can know the speed of WiFi connected to our mobile phone.

Extended data:

1.WiFi signal congestion

Users access the network through WiFi, just like listening to a radio station, using a fixed frequency wireless band, so how many similar signal transmitting and receiving devices are around the user's area will have a great impact on the WiFi experience.

Steve Biddle, a New Zealand engineer who has studied wireless hotspots, wrote last week: "If you live in a central apartment building in the city center, and there are hundreds of wireless networks in this apartment building, this is almost the worst WiFi use environment."

Even if the WiFi signal bar on your mobile phone is full, the actual WiFi signal may be slow. Mobile phones, cordless phones, microwave Shanghai, Bluetooth devices and even wireless baby monitoring devices may affect the signal quality of WiFi.

2. Devices cannot send and receive data at the same time.

Because WiFi signal can't send and receive data at the same time, this network access mode will cause more data delay than other modes. Moreover, many people use the same WiFi channel at the same time, which will greatly affect the signal strength of WiFi.

In fact, your router can usually use hundreds of WiFi channels, but most people just adjust the option of router channel selection to "automatic" mode, so most people are using the already extremely crowded 2.4GHz frequency channel today.

In addition, if you are in an area with rich network signals, your router will constantly search for the best network channel, which will also cause network delay, which is not a problem that broadband operators can solve.

3. Birth defects

No matter how much WiFi technology is improved in the future, it is difficult for wireless connection to surpass the existing wired Internet access.

WiFi will not completely replace wired Internet connection, it is just a more convenient networking solution.

Working in the background

If the WiFi speed is still not improved after all the above factors are eliminated, then check whether your software is automatically synchronizing data and photos.

In fact, applications including Steam, Netflix and BitTorrent, the world's largest integrated digital distribution platform, will transmit files in the background, which will greatly affect the user's WiFi speed. Moreover, because most of these applications work silently in the background, many users simply can't remember their existence.

5. Router location

The location of the wireless router has a great influence on the signal strength. For example, if you put the router next to a concrete wall, its signal strength will be greatly reduced. If possible, the best placement of the router is naturally on the ceiling in the middle of the room (of course, many consumers do not have such conditions).

6. Connection equipment differences

Don't be surprised if your iPhone 3G WiFi connection speed is not as fast as that of iPhone 6, because the connection speed of WiFi is also closely related to the information processing speed of connected devices.

Four suggestions on improving the access speed of wifi:

1. Upgrade your router equipment to a dual-band router that supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. However, it should be pointed out that the penetration of 5GHz frequency signals is less than 2.4GHz, and many old devices do not support this WiFi frequency.

2. Understand the usage of WiFi channels in this area through the channel viewer, and then choose a smoother channel to use.

3. If you have an idle wireless router at hand, consider strengthening the indoor WiFi signal strength through wireless signal relay or amplification.

4. If your router has different power schemes such as high power and low power, usually the low power scheme will have better WiFi signal strength.
