Free Tools to Check Your Internet Speed and Network Problems

“Free Tools to Check Your Internet Speed and Network Problems

Nothing is more annoying than slow or “no browsing” internet — especially when you paid full subscription 😤.

Sometimes the issue isn’t your network provider; it’s your Wi-Fi adapter, network driver, or router acting up.

Before shouting at your ISP, here are 3 FREE tools you can use to check what’s really wrong 👇

---

⚡ 1️⃣ Speedtest.net (by Ookla)

Website: www.speedtest.net

Speedtest.net is the most popular and reliable speed checker in the world.

It tells you your:

Ping (ms): how fast your connection responds.

Download speed (Mbps): how quickly you receive data (important for streaming, browsing).

Upload speed (Mbps): how fast you send data (important for Zoom calls, file uploads).

✅ If your ping is above 150 ms or download speed keeps jumping up and down, something’s wrong.

🚀 2️⃣ Fast.com (by Netflix)

Website: www.fast.com

Fast.com is super-simple — just open the site and it starts testing automatically.

No ads, no stress. It’s great for quick checks when your YouTube or Netflix keeps buffering.

✅ If the number you see is way below what you subscribed for, restart your router and test again.

🧭 3️⃣ PingPlotter Free

Website: www.pingplotter.com

PingPlotter is a bit more advanced. It shows you where the delay is coming from — your laptop, your Wi-Fi router, or your internet provider’s line.

✅ Why it’s great:

Detects random disconnections

Visual graphs of your ping

Helps trace network problems over time

💡 Perfect for offices, gamers, and anyone whose internet “dies” during meetings.

💡 Quick Tip:

If your laptop says “Connected, but no Internet”, or browsers can’t open websites:

1️⃣ Restart router and laptop.

2️⃣ Forget Wi-Fi and reconnect.

3️⃣ Still not working? It’s likely your network driver or adapter needs fixing.
