We have a Deco X60 internet router with 3 satellites. I want to check the speed of the AppleTV 4k (2nd Gen) connected to our Sony A80CK 4k TV. We already checked our internet speed and the TV itself. How do I check the speed directly from the AppleTV 4k device? We want to make sure we are getting the best speed for our current environment, we appreciate any guidance provided! Thank you!
Apple TV 4K, 16
The Ookla Speedtest app is the gold standard. It’s used by many other companies (like AT&T) that run speed tests. See attached screenshot from AT&T giving credit to Speedtest.
I’ve been using it without issue for over a decade.
The app is not dubious. SpeedTest is very reliable. There are other speedtest apps in the TVOS app store as well.
I was hoping there was a specific setting within the device itself to check the streaming speed, the app sounds dubious. If you’re listening Apple, would be a great feature to add to the device. I’ll check out the app, thank you for your suggestion!
Okay, thank you and I’ll try this Ookla Speed Check app.
I did find that in the Network settings of the Apple TV does show the streaming signal strength in dots so that’s somewhat more helpful. Access to Netflix through Xfinity allows me to perform a test of their streaming speed and it’s easy and readily accessible in their settings. The Netflix app on AppleTV does not allow me any access, it’s all a discovery process for sure!
Thank you!
signal strength will have little to do with internet speed though
How do I check AppleTV 4k speed?
