      Note
      Netflix® provides this speed test tool, which measures only the download speed.

    Note
    When you perform one of these tests, take note that your wireless connection's speed, even with excellent signal strength, can be 30-50% slower compared to wired connections. The disparity between wired and Wi-Fi® performance is due to several reasons including additional network protocol overhead, radio interference, physical obstructions between devices and decreasing signal strength with distance. In addition, as more devices communicate on the network simultaneously, its performance will also decrease. Whenever possible, always use a wired connection for best performance.
