*Keep in mind that, for a conclusive speed test, you must use a device plugged into the router with a network cable. Alternatively, you may use a recently released device connected to the 5GHz Wi-Fi network while you are in proximity of the router (results may be inaccurate). To obtain accurate results, remember to pause Netflix, any televisions and all downloads running on your devices. It is preferable to unplug all video game consoles as well.
In the case where your test isn’t conclusive, reboot your oxio equipment by following the steps below.
