Measure room by room
Label each test with a place and a short note such as “next to the router”. Later, filter your history by place and the weak spot stands out.
What one test tells you
About half a minute per test, and you get more than a single speed number.
Speed both ways
Download and upload in Mbps, measured against a nearby server, with the live number climbing as the test runs.
Ping and jitter
How quickly your connection answers, and how steady that answer is from one moment to the next.
Bufferbloat grade
Latency measured while downloading and while uploading, each graded, so you see lag that only shows up under load.
A plain verdict
Every result is rated Excellent to Poor, with a check for video calls, HD and 4K streaming and online games.
Inside your WiFi
IP address, WiFi standard, band, channel and signal strength on the Network information screen.
Networks side by side
Your own history turned into a comparison: median speeds, a bad-day speed and the best hour for each network.
“Why is my WiFi slow?”
After each test the Connection Doctor looks at the result and explains, in plain words, what is holding you back, with a tip for each cause.
- Weak signal where you are standing
- The WiFi link rate is the ceiling
- Stuck on the crowded 2.4 GHz band
- Bufferbloat or high jitter
- A VPN slowing things down
- Speed below your plan, or slower than usual
Out of the house? Mobile data too.
Test 5G and LTE/4G the same way. You see LTE and 5G RSRP, RSRQ and SINR, each rated. A Lite test measures download only and uses at most 25 MB, Data saver makes it the default on mobile data, full tests are capped there, and a Data usage screen shows what the app has used.

Questions people ask
Why is my WiFi fast in the living room but slow in the bedroom?
Walls, floors, distance and other networks weaken the signal. Tag a test in each room and the history filter shows you which one falls behind. The Connection Doctor then tells you whether the signal, the 2.4 GHz band or the router link speed is the limit.
Why does the app ask for location?
Android only reveals the WiFi network name and some mobile signal details to apps that hold location permission. WiFi Speed Meter also uses it for place labels and the optional coverage map. It is optional and the speed test works without it.
Which server does the test use?
Auto picks the nearest Cloudflare server. With Pro you can choose a regional server from Measurement Lab, an open research project that publishes test data including your IP address, so the app asks you before using one.
Will a test eat my mobile data?
On mobile data full tests are capped, and the Lite test downloads at most 25 MB. Turn on Data saver to make Lite the default away from WiFi. The Data usage screen shows how much the app has used.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There is no account. Your results live in a database on your phone and Reset local data clears them.
