Tips to get an accurate test result

One at a time

Make sure nobody else is online and disconnect all other devices other than the computer or device you’re conducting the test with.

Stand next to your router

Make sure you are standing close to your router before you begin. (You may also use an ethernet cable to plug directly into your computer or device.)

Close or restart

Restart the computer or device you're testing with and close applications. (Such as image editors, video and music streaming apps, etc.)
