Check the Internet speed
You can check the Internet speed of the access point. The results might be helpful if
you want to set bandwidth rate limits (see Set bandwidth rate limits for a WiFi network
on page 212).
To check the Internet speed:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Diagnostics > Speed Check.
The Internet Speed Check page displays.
5. To view the privacy policy, click the Privacy Policy link.
The Privacy Policy pop-up window displays.
6. To close the pop-up window, click the X in the upper right corner.
7. Click the Test Speed button.
After a short delay, the page displays the measured latency in ms, download speed
in Mbps, and upload speed in Mbps.
8. To view the test history, click the View History link.
A table shows the results of previous tests.
