I recently reset my Netgear Nighthawk 6 router password. Ever since then, my interned speeds per Speedtest have gone down on my iPad and iPhone.

Worse yet, I am unable to get Speedtest to work at all on my MacBook Pro.

I would appreciate your suggestions

? Try a different browser...

There are many third party speed test out there... I believe the speedtest.net uses javascript—verify you are allowing javascript.

Make changes to your Network preferences or router preferences—

2.4 GHz is slower but travels further compare to 5GHz which is faster but travels a shorter distance(?)

Not all routers are simultaneous dual band... and you have to choose which band you are signed into.

If you hold the Option key and click open the WIFI on the upper right menu bar—you see more information:

I was thinking about when your device is logged into a network. On the right of the network selected you will see the symbol for information (a small i in a circle). Click on there and you can choose forget this network, which erases the information your device is storing about the network. Then restart just to clear the current memory and log into it again as a new account.

Just a thought. Did you have your devices forget the network or just change the password? I have had success with other issues by forgetting the network, restart device, and then log in like it’s a new connection. Hope it helps.
