However, I have always understood that the speed test from the Google Home app is in fact measure the speed from the ROUTER to the internet, not from my local device. I do understand that when to do a "normal" speed test (e.g., from a web site), it is giving you the speed from your local device to the internet, not the speed from your router to the internet. Unfortunately, I am getting conflicting information from every direction. So why does the speed test tell me I'm getting only 300 megabits? And which one am I really getting throughout my household? The router is definitely passing through almost a gigabit when the Spectrum tester is hardwird into the router. At least that's what it did with the Nest WIFi before I got the Pro.Īnyway, this is really frustrating. That's ridiculously untrue, right? I thought the speed test measures the speed AT THE MAIN WIFI POINT. But then I ran the speed test from the Google Home app again, and the speed according to the app is 302 megabits? So what the heck is going on? Is the Google Home app lying to me? How am I supposed to know what speed I am actually getting?Īddendum: I am on chat with Google Technical Support, and the support person is trying to tell me the speed test results will depend partly on how far away I am standing with my phone. Then they plugged in the Nest WiFi Pro router and tested the speed hardwired into the router, and the speed was 955 megabits. They tested the speed directly from the modem, and it was 958 megabits. Last week I upgraded to the Nest WiFi Pro last week, and ever since then every speed test I have run from the Google Home app tells my I am only getting 200-300 Megabits. I used to have a Nest WiFi, and the app would tell me I was getting between 500 and 800 megabits per second download speed.
