[AFMUG] iphone wifi speedtest
Ok, What is everyone using on their iphone for a WEE FEE speed test that doesnt choke. We were doing some hotel testing and it seems we get expected rates using a laptop or android phone but iphone is just baaad. Anyone ever seen that before? --

Takes a decent phone to do a decent speed test. *shrug* Same for any device.

Are you doing heatmaps or just proving speed in each room? Risking sounding like a shill, use the pro version of this: www.netspotapp.com/ The active scanning is pretty neat. ryan On 3/10/16 10:01 AM, David wrote: Ok, What is everyone using on their iphone for a WEE FEE speed test that doesnt choke.

We host a speedtest.net server and use the iphone app. Very accurate. If you don't like the app, give their HTML beta test a try. It's been quite accurate in our experience. http://beta.speedtest.net/ On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 12:08 PM, D.

Re: [AFMUG] iphone wifi speedtest
not just apps, but keep in mind the vast majority of phones and many tablets are 802.11n 1x1 devices (MCS7 max data rate). Even if you're sitting right next to the AP and have an RSL of -51 you will never see the same speed as on a 2x2 MCS15-connected laptop.
