Perform A Speed Test - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Perform a speed test

You can perform a speed test between the AirBridge and an IPv4 address or host name
and view the results of the speed test. You can use this option to determine the general
network performance rather than the exact throughput for the WiFi connection between
two peer-to-peer devices. The maximum speed that the AirBridge can measure is
100 Mbps.
To perform a speed test:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Management, select Tools.
By default, the Ping tab is selected and the Ping Test Parameters page displays.
5. Select the Speed Test tab.
The Speed Test Parameters page displays.
6. In the Target IP / Domain Name field, enter the IP address or domain name for
which you want to perform a speed test.
7. In the Time Period field, enter the duration in seconds of the entire speed test.
The default is 20 seconds.
8. In the Check Interval field, enter the interval in seconds between the intermediate
throughput results.
The default is 5 seconds.
