my velop mesh system is running super slow, how do i check if it's my internet or the wifi?

Run the Speed Check in the Linksys app. It tests your download and upload speeds directly from the Velop system.

1. Open the Linksys app and log in.
2. Tap Speed Check in the main menu.
3. Run the test. It measures download (content coming to you) and upload (content you send out) speeds.

Interpret the results: If the speeds match what you pay for from your ISP, the problem is likely local—Wi-Fi interference, a weak mesh connection, or too many active devices. If the speeds are significantly lower, the issue is with your internet connection or modem.

If speeds are low, first power cycle your modem and primary Velop node. Then run Speed Check again. Also, run Channel Finder in Advanced Settings to optimize your wireless channels.

Heads up: Internet speeds are determined by your ISP plan, local and global internet traffic, and the number of devices using the connection. For the most accurate test, connect a computer directly to your modem with an Ethernet cable and use a browser-based speed test. That isolates the Velop system entirely.
