To get the most exact results while performing a test, make sure that: See how the performance changes while you move your device and WiFi router! The graph displays the performance results for the past 5 minutes. Though, this will be inaccurate, escpecially for fast wired connections.

Mac only: you can also test against the “default router”. On the client, select the server from the list and press start to measure. The name of the respective device will show up in the list. One will be the server (it doesn’t matter which one), the other one will be the client displaying the results. Quick Start: Open the applications on two devices on your local network. Network Speed Tester is available in English, German, and Russian language for macOS 10.13+, iOS 13+, and tvOS 13+ (for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and Apple TV 4) and for Android 5.0+ phones and tablets. You can also test a local NAS or server filesystem. To make a proper measurement, you need to have at least 2 devices running in your local network. One device will act as a server, the other device as the client for visualizing the results. Find test servers automatically via Bonjour services.Get actual realworld network throughput.Testing via NAS/Filesystem allows testing without a second Mac or iOS device.Accurate performance measuring of your network using client-server technology.Find the best spot for watching streaming movies in your home.Optimize the placement of your WiFi router, try different locations until you get the best network performance.Verify your network components (switches, router) to find bottlenecks in your wired network.

Optimize your WiFi network by moving or placing your WiFi router until you reach the best results. A graph helps you see changes in realtime. Use Network Speed Tester suite for macOS, iOS, tvOS, and Android to measure the actual transfer speed of your WiFi or wired network.
