  1. For best results test with a wired (copper/fiber) connection.
  2. The performance of the computer running this test may have a significant impact on the test results.
  3. Other activity on your network may impact your test results significantly.
    1. For better results, bypass your network during and outage window and test directly from the Network Access handoff.
    2. If this is not an option, we recommend connecting your test computer to your network as close as possible to the Network Access handoff.
  4. 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.
  5. iperf3 performance is better than web browser based tests.

Specifying IPv4 or IPV6

  • iperf.wiscnet.net listens on v4 and v6. If you wish to test only v4 or only v6, please use the hostnames below (same server)
    • iperf-ipv4.wiscnet.net
    • iperf-ipv6.wiscnet.net
