Test your Internet Speed

The app used to test your internet speed is found in the Amazon Store. We recommend using Net Speedtest

1. Launch your Firestick and select Apps from the top menu.
2. Then select Categories.
3. Next, select Utility.
4. Then select the Silk Browser App. This will be a blue icon labeled as internet.
5. Select the Download or Get button. You will see the Download button if you have downloaded the app in the past. You will see the Get button if you have never downloaded the app before.
6. Then select Open. If you have any issues downloading the app, you might not have enough room left on your device. See how to uninstall apps.
7. Next, select Accept.
8. Then select Search the web or enter URL. This will be a big orange button at the top of the screen. If you have already used the Silk browser before, you can select the browser search bar instead.
9. Then type fast.com and select Go. This is a site powered by Netflix, which is specially made for testing for streaming services. The website will immediately start testing your WiFi speed.
10. Finally, wait for the speed test to finish. Your results will show you the download speed in Mbps (megabits per second) that your Firestick has. You can repeat this test over time to find out what your average speed is.
