Wi-Fi link check

Your device already knows how strong its signal is and what kind of Wi-Fi it is using. This turns that into a plain answer: is it distance, old technology, or the wrong band?

What device are you checking?

  1. 1Stand in the spot you want to check, connected to your Wi-Fi.
  2. 2Press the Windows key, type cmd and press Enter.
  3. 3Copy this command, paste it into the black window and press Enter:
    Windows Command Prompt
    netsh wlan show interfaces
  4. 4Select everything it prints, copy it, and paste it in the box below.

Read in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

Your result will appear here

You will see how strong the signal is, which generation of Wi-Fi the device is using, and the real speed that link can deliver.
