For many people, the measure of the quality of their home connection is often the amount of content on streaming that they can play at the same time, thus calculating the bandwidth needed to subsequently subscribe to the services of one provider or another.
Netflix offers a tool through its application to know the connection speed of the device on which this content is viewed.
From the own app, in several devicesyou can know the connection speed of the device the content is playing on, so you don’t have to leave Netflix to find out.
This tool is actually more useful on TVs, because knowing the data from the app itself, you don’t have to rely on third-party sites to carry out the process.
How to measure connection speed
The same Netflix platform has an integrated function that we can install in smartphones and televisions, which allows knowing the connection speed of the computer on which the content is being played, without leaving the application to use a third-party service.
To know the speed of the network it is only necessary enter the Netflix app and to a user’s profile. Find the section ‘Get help’. On the phone, this is done through the menu (three horizontal stripes) in the lower left area.
On the other hand, to do it on televisions or devices with google tv either AndroidTV, move the slider to the left and select ‘Support’ in the dropdown menu.
If you are testing from a television or device running Android TV or Google TV, such as a Amazon FireTV either chrome cast of Googlejust enter ‘Network check’ (or Network Check) on ‘Get help’.
