Is a Wi-Fi quality test the same as a speed test?

No. A speed test measures throughput. A Wi-Fi quality test also checks signal, latency, jitter, packet loss, DNS, HTTP/TLS and whether the problem is device-side or site-wide.

Can Infracheck test intermittent Wi-Fi problems?

The Android and Windows apps collect user-device evidence during a visit. The free appliance adds continuous local history when a site needs proof after the technician leaves.

What should I check when Wi-Fi feels slow?

Check signal strength, link rate, channel context, gateway reachability, packet loss, DNS latency, HTTP/TLS response time and whether wired or appliance checks show the same issue.

Wi-Fi quality test

Test Wi-Fi quality with signal, stability and service evidence, not only Mbps.

Infracheck helps home users, technicians and IT teams understand whether a Wi-Fi complaint is caused by weak signal, local gateway issues, DNS, packet loss, high latency, HTTP/TLS response time or a wider site problem.

What a useful Wi-Fi quality test checks

Signal and link context: SSID, BSSID, RSSI, band, channel, link speed and nearby networks where the platform allows it.
Local path: gateway reachability, local IP/DHCP context and whether the user device has a valid route.
Internet quality: latency, jitter, packet loss, DNS response and HTTP/TLS response time.
Evidence: saved history, screenshots or PDF output that can be attached to a support ticket.

App Only vs App + Appliance

App Only is best for a quick phone or PC check from the user location. App + Appliance is best when the issue is intermittent or when the site needs ongoing local monitoring from inside the LAN. The free appliance helps prove whether a symptom is only on one client or visible across the site.

Common scenarios

A home user wants to check whether slow Wi-Fi is signal, DNS or ISP related.
A technician needs evidence before moving an access point or replacing a router.
An MSP needs before/after proof for a customer site with random video-call drops.
An office wants a repeatable health report instead of isolated speed-test screenshots.
