Chapter 3: Performance

The 

Performance

 screen allows you to access the throughput 

statistics and run a speed test . You can examine up-to-date, 

second-by-second performance so you know how the 

Router and Mesh Points are communicating with your 

devices . Having access to the Router’s data is useful if your 

network has issues or if you make changes to your network . 

Throughput

The initial view displays the 

Throughput

 graph . It shows a 

recent history of upload and download throughput . The 

maximum upload and download values are labeled in the 

graph, and the current upload and download values are 

displayed on the right .

Swipe to the right to display the 

Throughput

 pie chart . It 

shows the percentages of current download and upload 

data usage . The 

Total Usage

 column displays the total 

amount of data uploaded and downloaded .

ISP Test

You can run a speed test that will provide your download 

speed, upload speed, and connection ping time . A history of 

recent tests is displayed at the bottom . 
Tap Start Test to run the speed test . When the test is 

complete, the following results will be displayed:

Time 

Displays the date and time of the speed test .

Download 

Displays the download speed .

Upload 

Displays the upload speed .

Ping 

Displays the duration of the average Ping round-trip 

time .
