Using Speed Test Markers

One of the most useful functions of WiFi Survey is the ability to test the speed of the network at any place on the floor plan.  To use the speed test markers, place any of the markers on the floor plan. For each of these markers, a corresponding test will be performed. Once the test finishes, click on the marker to see the result of the test.

With the Cloud icon, users can run an Internet speed test based on the AccessAgility Server Network (Cloud).  The device needs to be connected to the Internet, but no special server software needs to be running.

When run, complete, and the placed icon is clicked, the result will be similar to the following:

The Check Mark icon uses a WiFiPerf/iPerf3 speed test, configured in the project settings.  An iPerf3 or WiFiPerf server must be running on a device (iOS, Android, OS X, or Windows) as a server, and the client (WiFi Survey) must be configured with that server’s IP address.
