How Do You Check Internet Speed?

Plug in your device directly to the modem or router using a wired connection, usually an Ethernet cable.

Limit the connections to your Internet as much as possible. Disconnect any wireless connections, and unplug other wired connections to your modem or router.

Go to a website that offers a connection speed test, and follow the instructions to test your Internet speed. AT&T and Time Warner Cable offer free Internet speed tests on their websites.
