Orbi App and speed test
Hello the community, I have the chance to have high speed internet access through fibre (8Gbps up and down) that I use with my Orbi 970. I’m trying the Speedtest of Ookla through the orbi app and see...
Thanks for your feedback and fully aligned on all what you mention. But the topic was more of it is possible in the future to select or the orbi app the server for speed test.
Alas, I see no substantial return on investment for assigning software engineering the task of revising the Ookla Speed Test code being bundled with Orbi routers.
- It exists, thus earning a place in advertising materials.
- It works (mostly). Most customers run it a couple of times and never look at it again.
- The number of customers affected by inappropriate readings might be small.
- If the code came from Ookla, maybe no one at Netgear had much to do with the implementation.
- Compared to the serious issues customers are reporting with the WiFi7 product line, where would a reasonable manager spend resources?
Thanks for your nice and argumented feedback. I don't know where Netger put his budget and my question/request is perhaps less a priority and i can understand. Anyway despite i always found Netgear products buggy, i'm still buying them including the Wifi7 products.
Again thanks for your answer and the time you took to type it for finally....just your view which is already great to share.
You can always try suggesting it in the ideas exchange for home. Thats where the requests/ideas are placed.

Only downfall to this is I don't know if I've ever seen one implemented so its more of a dumping ground for netgear IMO
Thanks for the suggestion. Will do that.
