Nighthawk App "Internet Speed" test AND the web interface's QoS speedtest are NOT working at all
Firmware verson v1.0.5.38 Per title: I noticed this today both in a classic setup (Dutch T-Mobile Fibre ISP router linked to my Netgear) AND without the ISP router installed where the network cab...
(sigh) the problem is not with me, nor my setup. The problem is with the app's testing functionality. No 2nd router is installed. But even with the old situation with 2 routers it should work and it doesn't.
Thanks :)
Well I'll be... I've been trying for the last 2 hours, and the speed test consistently failed.
But while writing the above question, I suddenly noticed that both my phones had suddenly completed the speed tests. I DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING BUT WRITING THIS ARTICLE! Apparently, sometimes it's good when Big Brother is watching xD
But seriously: are there service problems? I never had it fail before... And this time, it wasn't me ;-)
.... and it's failing again on both phones: last succesful test suddenly was less than 500Mb (instead of 985Mb). I didn't change anything except browser tabs :)
So it definitely is a service problem, no? Some confirmation would be great :)
It sometime works, and when it works the results are all over the place: from what it should be (+900Mb up.down) all the way down to 0Mb down and 8Mb up. My clients don't have this problem, so it really is a problem with your speed tests.
