- For best results test with a wired (copper/fiber) connection.
- The performance of the computer running this test may have a significant impact on the test results.
- Other activity on your network may impact your test results significantly.
- For better results, bypass your network during and outage window and test directly from the Network Access handoff.
- If this is not an option, we recommend connecting your test computer to your network as close as possible to the Network Access handoff.
- graphs.wiscnet.net uses 5 minute polling and averages, so short speed tests that will fall within a 5 minute polling cycle won't be reflected as maximums on graphs.wiscnet.net.
- iperf3 performance is better than web browser based tests.
